Beethoven’s 7th Symphony, Second Movement: In Film
I don’t often write solely about music in film, but recently I watched The King’s Speech (2010) and was struck with the realisation that not only did I recognise a piece of music used towards the end, but that it was actually probably one of my favourite pieces of classical music and I didn’t even […]

It’s been quite some time since I’ve assisted the erudite seekers of knowledge who find their way to my blog. Search & Rescue is a series of posts where I address the strangely specific search terms that appear on my stats page, and help people out with answers to their questions. Here is a selection […]

Here […]

I’ve mentioned it a million times before, but my partner is a massive James Bond fan, and is probably the most fanatical Bond fan I have ever known in my entire life. He does a marathon of the films approximately twice per year (sometimes more), and since we live together, I generally get to marathon […]

The James Bond Franchise: A ranking of all films.
As a big fan of the James Bond franchise (a direct result of being in a relationship with a Bond obsessive for ~7 years), I’ve always meant to do a ranking of all the films but have never really bothered with it. Today is the day it finally happens!
