Is 2020 finally cutting us some slack? They say good things come in threes, and what a week this has been. First Biden / Harris win the US election. Then a COVID-19 vaccine is announced. And now… there’s a new Has Fallen film. Okay so not always in threes, as this is Gerard Butler’s fourth… Gerard Butler is BACK as Banning: fourth installment announced Read More
Epic trolling as the film club watches Beowulf & Grendel 4 stars
This is by no means the first fantasy starring Gerard Butler that I’ve enjoyed but I think it’s the first I’ve seen on screen. My Good-Bad Film Club companion Liz adores Game of Thrones, and Beowulf & Grendel – which came out in 2005 – is surely its precursor. I’m always behind the zeitgeist and… Epic trolling as the film club watches Beowulf & Grendel Read More
Doggedly searching
This was a search term used to get to my site today, and really a filmmaker needs to make a movie with this title: I can see it now: a hugely rich American family employ a mysterious man with a slightly over-the-top English accent to serve their pampered pooches. Then he disappears, taking their favourite… Doggedly searching Read More

Law Abiding Citizen gives us the People’s Choice Hannibal Lecter 3 stars
Killing with abandon, he doesn’t even leave his prison cell. And while all Clyde Shelton munches is the scenery and a decent steak, he does then murder his cell-mate with the bone. It was another Good-Bad Film Club evening last night, and I’ll not lie, this one – chosen purely for Gerard Butler – was… Law Abiding Citizen gives us the People’s Choice Hannibal Lecter Read More

2020 vision – 2019 in review
I’ll be making that joke all year so you’d better get used to it. But what a year it’s been! (It’s actually the law that all annual round-up articles start like that so don’t email me.) During 2019 several things happened: Like, you know, stuff. But most importantly, I was in the same room as… 2020 vision – 2019 in review Read More

Angel Has Fallen: interviews!
When I first watched Gerard Butler’s interview (below), I kept hearing all these strange noises, necessitating frequent pausing on my part to look accusingly at the dog and wonder if I was going to need to open a window. It turns out he’s actually sitting in the world’s creakiest chair (Gerry, not my dog). Don’t… Angel Has Fallen: interviews! Read More
Gerard Butler’s ‘Fallen’ Oeuvre
Less a deep dive, and more – considering the less than philosophical subtexts to the three Has Fallen movies – a shallow bellyflop, it’s time to look back at Butler’s battles as Mike Banning. You can see on this site I refer to myself as a Gerard Butler apologist, and I make no apologies for… Gerard Butler’s ‘Fallen’ Oeuvre Read More
Banning battles to clear his name in Angel Has Fallen’s NEW international trailer
*** My Angel Has Fallen review is now live *** “There are moments of struggle that define us” says President Allan Trumbull to Mike Banning, a bit like me trying to get some poor sucker to look after my unruly kids in August when this is released (bang in the middle of the school holidays!)
