SPOILERS ALERT!!!

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

Oh dear. This is a tough one. Initially, I had in mind to revisit the first ‘Joker’ movie from 2019 before going to see the second ‘Joker’ film at the cinema. In the end, I decided not to revisit the first ‘Joker’ film, as I didn’t have the time but also because I didn’t need to. 😐 Continue reading →

Hello everyone! 🙂

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

It’s been a while since I’ve done a brand-new in-depth review on ‘Bradley’s Basement’, hasn’t it? 😀 Recently, my parents and I commemorated my late sister Bethan with revisiting the original 1937 ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ film (I’ve seen the teaser trailer for the upcoming 2025 film ‘Snow White’) and 1989’s ‘The Little Mermaid’. For Bethan’s birthday today, I decided to revisit the 2023 live-action version of ‘The Little Mermaid’ on Disney+ and share an in-depth review of it, following my quick review of the film last year when I saw it at the cinema.
