28 Years Later (2025) dir. Danny Boyle I finally got around to watching 28 Years Later, the new Danny Boyle directed addition to this series. I think I maybe avoided it for a few months because I'm not particularly big on horror and the last instalment didn't really fill me with enthusiasm, but I wish I'd got to it much quicker now because I really liked this film. It wasn't what I expected at…

🎵 Listening to: January 2026 Track January, 2026 My monthly scrapbook is a bit late this time round. Mainly because I had a rotten cold in the last week of the month, but also January was pretty busy… For a January anyway. Three trips to the Prince Charles cinema (!), Burns night dinner at a friend's place, and a fiftieth birthday party. And somewhere inbetween all that I managed to watch The…

All in all a pretty good month. See you on the other side! Bar…
🎵 Listening to: sorry i thought you were someone else by K-LONE November, 2025 A trip to the theatre, some geeky tech stuff, and a pretty great sausage sandwich. What more can you ask from a month. Also, I wrote another instalment for mine and Mike's heist film newsletter, The Steal; and I added a whole new section to this site called ' Reads ' where I'm collecting the best articles I've read…
🎵 Listening to: Double Infinity by Big Thief October, 2025 Trying to fend off the 'dark evening blues' with some trips to the cinema, dinners with friends, a visit to the theatre and some great books and quality telly. The Steal I have started (another) Substack newsletter with my old Londonist colleague and friend, Mike Sizemore . It's entirely dedicated to heist films, and is unapologetically…
🎵 Listening to: Eleven by Daphni August 25 A bit of a quieter month this month, the highlights were Jenny Saville at the NPG, Good Night Oscar at the Barbican and having a few friends round for barbecue and drinks in the back garden until the early hours. What's the point of having a garden if you can't do that in the summer? Thursday Murder Club I read the book when it first came out and…
