Quick Movie Review – ‘The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Over Christmas 2021, my parents and I became aware of a film called ‘The Guernsey Literary and Potato Pie Society’ which was shown on TV one Sunday before the festive day. We had planned on seeing the film, but because Christmas is a busy time of the year, we didn’t get that chance to see it. Continue reading

Movie Review – ‘Death on the Nile’ (2022)

SPOILERS ALERT!!!

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

I’ve recently seen the latest film adaptation of ‘Death on the Nile’ by director/actor Kenneth Branagh. This is the sequel to the 2017 film ‘Murder on the Orient Express’. This film was meant to come out in 2020. Sadly, due to the Covid-19 pandemic – please keep safe – the film was delayed. 😐 Continue reading

DVD Review – ‘Gaslight’ (1944)

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

I’ve done a new review on a movie I’ve seen recently. This is the 1944 film ‘Gaslight’, starring Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman and Joseph Cotton. This film is based upon the 1938 play by Patrick Hamilton. I’ve seen a 2017 theatre production of the play and it was quite different compared to seeing the 1944 film. Continue reading

Quick Movie Review – ‘Flight of the Phoenix’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

It’s time to talk about another film I saw on Disney+ recently. This is ‘Flight of the Phoenix’, a 2004 film about a group of people who survive an aircraft crash in the Gobi Desert. This film is actually a remake of the 1965 film of the same name (sort-of, as it’s called ‘The Flight of the Phoenix’ instead). Continue reading

DVD Review – ‘Pigskin Parade’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Having reviewed quite a number of Judy Garland films over the years, it only makes sense for me to review her earliest film appearance that may well be her film debut before she became famous in ‘The Wizard of Oz’. It’s time to take a look at ‘Pigskin Parade’, a 1936 musical comedy film about a game of American football, which incidentally is played in a snowstorm. 😀 Continue reading

Quick Movie Review – ‘The Marine’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

John Cena has done quite a bit in terms of being an actor. He’s been in ‘Bumblebee’ and 2021’s ‘The Suicide Squad’. It’s amazing he’s done quite a bit of acting lately as well as being a professional wrestler. Same for Dwayne Johnson, I guess. 🙂 Lately, I saw ‘The Marine’ with John Cena on Disney+. Continue reading

DVD Review – ‘Bumblebee’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

And by the way, “Happy Birthday Mum!” 😀 She enjoyed this film incidentally. 😀

Well, we’ve finally reached the end of the ‘Transformers Film Review Season’!!!!!

And I’m happy to say we’re finishing on a high, as we come to what is arguably the best ‘Transformers’ film in the live-action film series. It’s time for ‘Bumblebee’ which was released in December 2018 and directed by Travis Knight. The film stars Hailee Steinfeld, John Cena, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., John Ortiz, Jason Drucker and Pamela Adlon. Is this film still as good as I remember from watching it on the big screen in January 2019? Continue reading

Movie Review – ‘Anna and the King’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Most of us know ‘The King and I’ story where Anna Leonowens, an English school teacher, went to Siam in the late 19th century to teach the many children and wives of King Mongkut. This has been portrayed in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical on stage, in live-action film, and in cartoon film. Continue reading

Movie Review – ‘The Finest Hours’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

On the 18th of February 1952, the historic United States Coast Guard rescue of the crew of the SS Pendleton took place. On the 18th of February 2022, my parents and I watched ‘The Finest Hours’, a 2016 film that chronicled the event. It was surreal to watch the film on the event’s 70th anniversary. Continue reading
