Has anyone seen the new British series called VIGIL? It is another superb series that the British do so well .A flawless who-done-it crime series about a murder on a submarine. There are more twists and turns than a roller coaster has. There are only 6 episodes in the series. It...

I watched a great British movie last night-called THE OUTFIT - A brilliantly acted and very fast moving suspense film that keeps you guessing. If you love Agatha Christie then you know what to expect from this film. One of the best films that I have seen this year.

I loved the first series of BRIDGERTON but the second series has left me very disappointed. I watched the first 3 episodes and found it to be rather tedious. Are other readers also disappointed with the second series.? A very expensive series to produce but it is lacking in...

Does anyone remember the days in the sixties and seventies (and probably in earlier decades also) when some cinemas projected films from behind the screen rather than from a projection box at the rear of the cinema? We had a couple of such cinemas in Sydney and I often saw films in...

Has anyone seen the new American TV comedy series called GHOSTS? I watched the first two episodes and I found it to be totally unfunny. None of the actors playing ghosts were even the slightest bit funny. I will watch more episodes in the hope that it gets to improve. I have my doubts...

BATTLE AT LAKE CHANGJIN is said to be the biggest movie success World Wide so far this year. It has already taken over $769 million in just over a month. I watched this film last night- very enjoyable but full of propaganda as was to be expected in a film about the Korean war when the...

I started to watch this comedy on Netflix but I had to turn it off after less than a minute. It was inundated with canned laughter. Why are Americans so obsessed with listening to shows that have canned laughter? Do the producers of this show realise that canned laughter should be...

This is one of the very best films that I have seen so far this year. Written and Directed by Jane Campion who is my favourite Director working in cinema today. Not surprising that Jane won the Best Director award for this film at the Venice Film Festival. Truly a most mesmerising film...

Last night I saw one of the worst films of the year: MIDNIGHT IN THE SWITCHGRASS. A tired story about a serial killer of prostitutes. A very predictable story and the soundtrack was woeful. Why did the once great Bruce Willis decide to appear in this piece of forgettable rubbish? He...

Hi I am trying to join Disney (Australia) streaming services but everytime I click onto paying for a month, the screen goes black and stays that way..I never had any other problems in joining other streaming services-only Disney. Can anyone help me solve the problem.Much appreciated.

Has anyone seen the new sci-fi series SUPERMAN AND LOIS? Watched the first episode last night and it was brilliant. If the rest of the episodes are as good as the first one ,then we are in for a brilliant new series.

Happy birthday Betty White. 99 years old today. The last of THE GOLDEN GIRLS to survive. It has been 35 years since we first had the pleasure of seeing THE GOLDEN GIRLS on tv. Seven golden seasons and all still hilarious when seen today. It is the only American TV series that I...

I recently watched A LITTLE RED FLOWER ( aka RED FLOWER,GREEN LEAF). It has become the most successful film released in China so far this year. A flawless film that will be on my best film list for this year.

I watched the first episode of B POSITIVE. I certainly won't be watching any future episodes. The reason being was the almost non-stop canned laughter that one had to endure throughout the 30 min episode. I found it excruciating to listen to and totally unnecessary. I wanted to...

DES is a British 3 part tv series that is about a gay serial killer in London in the late seventies and early eighties.He was said to have killed about 15 or more mostly gay young men in his flat. David Tennant plays DES and his performance is riveting. With each episode running...

John Mitchell who had a 3-strip Cinerama set-up in his back garden in Sydney, passed away today.No further details are known at this stage.

Has any reader seen the brilliant Chilean gay film EL PRINCIPE ? Set mostly in a prison in Chile. Nudity galore and one guy has an erection.Rare to see that in a movie. Great story and acting .One of the best gay movies in a long time.

Has any reader seen the TV series CONTROL Z yet? I found it to be a brilliant series with two reservations: Why do many of the High School students look far too old to be still at school? The other problem was why were almost all of the students very good looking? Surely in real...

I have just watched the 9 episodes in the British series one of the brilliant GANGS OF LONDON.Truly the most violent TV series that I have ever seen.

To-night's Gay and lesbian Mardi gras will be televised live ( from 7-30 pm Sydney,Australia time.) Just go to www.sbs.com.au and you should be able to watch it from anywhere in the World. A first for our Mardi Gras.

Martin Hart -the founder of the WIDESCREEN MUSEUM site passed away in November 2019.He will be sadly missed.

Whilst reading THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER on-line today,I noticed that they listed the best films of the decade. Surely their staff are educated enough to know that a decade ends in the year 10-20 etc. A decade start with the year 1 and ends in 10 not 9 as T.H.R. insinuated. They probably...

I watched episode 5 of the new Disney HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL tv series last night. I was horrified at the continual hand held cameraman who could not keep the camera still. It was like watching a film during an earthquake. Not a good image for Disney

At the end of episode 5 of the current season (4) of RIVERDALE, the sheriff arrests 3 students for the murder of his son Jughead.. What puzzles me is that this was never followed up in the next episode nor episode 7. Could someone please explain to me what the heck is going on at...

I watched the first two episodes of the new French/British TV series. It is set in Europe rather than the USA.It has been 31 years since WOTW was last made into a TV series. I found the first episode to be extremely slow moving.It does pick up in the second episode however. It was a pity...

A CHORUS LINE - a ten part tv series is being planned for streaming on NETFLIX. The original stage show is at the top of my list of all-time favourite musicals. I am hoping that it will be superior to the very disappointing film.

This year two films with the same name are being released : (1) THE PROJECTIONIST- a documentary about a cinema projectionist in NYC and (2) THE PROJECTIONIST - a film from the Dominican Republic . Does anyone know any other films with the same title being released in the same year? There...
