Hello everyone! 🙂

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

To honour the memory of Peter David, who sadly passed away in May 2025, I’ve read and reviewed the movie novelization of the first ‘Iron Man’ movie in the ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’. It’s been great to check out this movie novelization and find out how the ‘MCU’ begins in prose form via Peter David’s superb writing style. Continue reading

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

Here we are again! We’ve returned to the world of ‘Downton Abbey’ in the third and final instalment of the supposed film trilogy ‘Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale’.

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

As part of my 10th anniversary celebrations on ‘Bradley’s Basement’ today, I’ve decided to share a review to commemorate Thomas the Tank Engine’s 80th anniversary. It’s a quick review of a film I enjoyed watching in 2000. I hope to do an in-depth review in future. Continue reading

Quick Movie Review – ‘Clockwise’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

This past week in the UK, we had Bank Holiday Monday in August 2025. This is what I did on Bank Holiday Monday. I cooked a lasagne for me and my parents for lunch. Later on, we saw the 1986 comedy film ‘Clockwise’, starring John Cleese, via Amazon Prime Video. Continue reading

Quick DVD Review – ‘Vanilla Sky’

SPOILERS ALERT!!!

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

‘Vanilla Sky’. Hmm. This is a fascinating and unusual film to check out. I can’t say it’s been a satisfying experience, but the film certainly has a very interesting premise to it. You’d probably need to see the movie about more than once in order to get your head around it. Continue reading

Quick Movie Review – ‘Pinocchio’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Back in 2022, I checked out and reviewed the Robert Zemeckis-directed live-action remake of ‘Pinocchio’, starring Tom Hanks. It’s been a while since I’ve seen that film, but I recall it not being that great, especially in terms of how its story ultimately concluded. 😐

Last weekend, my parents and I checked out the 30th anniversary re-release of the 1995 film ‘Sense and Sensibility’ at the cinema. We had a great time checking out this film on the big screen and it’s amazing to think that it was 30 years ago that this movie was made. Continue reading

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

I’ve seen the latest ‘Fantastic Four’ film at the cinema, ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’, which is part of the ‘Marvel Cinematic Universe’ film series. I greatly enjoyed seeing the film, and I found it a better movie experience compared to seeing the 2025 ‘Superman’ film. Continue reading

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

It’s taken me a while, but I’ve finally seen the sixth and presumably final instalment in ‘Sony’s Spider-Man Universe’ film series – ‘Kraven the Hunter’.
