It was good to see an appearance by the great Al Pacino to announce the night's Best Movie award....except he royally screwed up by not announcing all the contenders, and just opened the envelope to say who won!

I bet some of the losers that were up for the big prize were peeved that they didn't actually get mentioned at that point.  And it gave the proceedings a rushed feel to the climax of the awards, robbing the moment of some extra anticipation.

You had one job Al.

At least no-one got slapped this year.

I don't trust nuns, well except those at Nonnatus House (Call The Midwife) and The Flying Nun (Sally Field).

Just in time for... Easter, we're back with our review of Tim Allen's The Santa Clause, a film that's about as festive as a swift kick to the groin. Hope you all enjoy!

30 years strong. Glad Zaslav's bullshit last year didn't see the end to TCM. Would be pretty lost without it.

Two of the main characters from Mike Flanagan's miniseries Midnight Mass (2021) were first mentioned in his slasher film Hush (2016), where the main character Maddie is a writer of horror novels, whose most recent book is 'Midnight Mass'.

Good and recent example of story within a story ;
