Quick Movie Review – ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’

SPOILERS ALERT!!!

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

And I have seen…‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’!

(laughs) So…yeah! Why? Why?! Simply, just why? Why was this movie made? Did it have to be made? There was no reason to. I mean, yes it’s supposed to celebrate 10 years of the first ‘Mamma Mia!’ movie. But did that justify for a sequel to get made here? Why was this movie made? Why? Just why?! Continue reading

Disney/Pixar Review – ‘Bao’

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

As I saw ‘Incredibles 2’ last Saturday at the cinema, I might as well share a few quick thoughts on the short Pixar film that was shown before the movie.
