It seems like it’s been ages since I’ve written anything for a blogathon! Luckily, March is a month that has a lot of them in reserve, the perfect way for me to get back in business. And one of these blogathons is one of my very favourites; the O Canada Blogathon hosted by two amazing l read more

Today, the prolific film music composer John Williams turns 88. To celebrate him, I’ve decided to share with you my 15 most favourite film scores composed by him. I believe that even if you aren’t into films, you are surely familiar with at least one of his compositions. Some of his the read more

A few months ago, actor Steve Blackwood (Days of Our Lives, In the Light of the Moon) contacted me via The Wonderful World of Cinema‘s Facebook page to talk to me about his short film Meet the Author (2018). He directed it, wrote the screenplay and plays the main role. I felt highly honoured w read more

I started it on October 1st and completed it on January 30. The Carry On blog series has been the first “long term” project at The Wonderful World of Cinema, one that lasted much longer than I would have thought! Do I wish I would have been completed it sooner? Not necessarily, because read more

That’s it, folks! We have finally reached the LAST review for the Carry On blog series! I must now get used to the fact that I will soon have to move to something else. Unfortunately, among the few bad Carry Ons, Carry On Columbus is, in my humble opinion, probably the worst. What a sad way t read more

I feel like it’s been ages since I’ve participated in a blogathon (sorry about that!) or hosted one, but, I’m soon going to be back in business, and I’m very happy about it! Not long before Christmas, my friend Crystal from In the Good Old Days of Classic Hollywood contacted read more

Believe it or not, this is the 30th entry of this blog series meaning that it’s the before-last one (well, not considering the eventual recap)! It feels quite weird that this fun blogging task is about to come to an end. More importantly, the film I am reviewing today, Carry On Emmannuelle (G read more

Today’s Carry On review is gonna be fairly short as the 29th entry of the series has the particularity of being a re-cap of what the team had produced since 1958 when Carry On Sergeant introduced the series. That’s Carry On!, as it is called, was released in 1977 in a time where the pro read more

That’s it, I’ve done it. I’ve watched Carry On England. Mission accomplished. Many people “warned” me that is was one of the worst Carry Ons. It’s certainly not the best, but my viewing helped me understand better why it has such a poor reputation. Carry On Engla read more

Three Enchanting Ladies I know, it’s January 17 already, but I first wanted to wish you a very happy new year 2020! Imagine; the 20s! That’s pretty cool, no? And this will be my first blog post of the year, a way to start it in beauty. For my discussion today, we have to go back in time a little, read more

Hey everybody! I’m back today with another Carry On review, this time exploring Carry On Behind (Gerald Thomas, 1975). Surprisingly, this film is not so much about behinds except for a few gags. Its particularity, however, resides in the fact that it was the first Carry On film since Carry On read more

Around two weeks ago, The Classic Movie Muse contacted me to let me know that she had nominated me for a Sunshine Blogger Award! Thank you!! What an honour! The Classic Movie Muse is a lovely blog I discovered quite recently when I was hosting the 5th Grace Kelly Blogathon. I’m sure many blog read more

A few days ago, I watched what marked Talbot Rothwell’s last participation in the famous British comic Carry On franchise: Carry On Dick (Gerald Thomas, 1974). Before watching it, I honestly had no idea what to expect. I knew that the Carry Ons I had left to see were far from being the best. read more

This blog series is taking much more time than I was expecting BUT, in a way, that’s a good thing because it will feel weird once it’s over! And, we’ve now reached the film #25 in our exploration of these saucy and hilarious films! Carry On Girls, directed by Gerald Thomas and rel read more

The 24th entry of the Carry On franchise, Carry On Abroad (Gerald Thomas, 1972), was a special one on many aspects. First, just like the previous entry, Carry On Matron, it features a good number of regulars. And these create a strong feeling of nostalgia. June Whitfield’s presence has such a read more

If you say matron to someone that is now familiar with the Carry On series, the first person he or she will associate with that word would automatically be Hattie Jacques. Indeed, the actress has portrayed the role on several occasions during the series and, as Joan Sims said, she pretty much was p read more

Welcome back to another review of the Carry On blog series! Today, I’ll be exploring Carry On at Your Convenience (Gerald Thomas, 1971). Curiously enough, Carry On at Your Convenience resulted into being the first Carry On film to actually lose money at the box office on its initial release. read more

After taking a two-week break from writing about Carry On films, I’m back with Carry On #21: Carry On Henry (Gerald Thomas, 1971), which parodies the life of the notorious king of England, Henry VIII. Well, a “break” is not a good expression since, so far, I loved reviewing the va read more

Hello, dear Film Noir addicts (or not)! We’re now half-way through #Noirvember and, so far, I have only published one blog post for the occasion that you can read here. The other day on Letterboxd I made a list of all the films noirs I had seen so far and came to realize it was more than 100! read more

The 5th Wonderful Grace Kelly Blogathon is already over as all good things must end! It’s been a pleasure hosting it with Emily from The Flapper Dame and Samantha from Musings of a Classic Film Addict. Even after five years, people still have a lot of various subjects to discuss in connection read more
