As I write, England is one week away from 'Step 3' of the removal of COVID related social restrictions. This includes the reopening of "... indoor entertainment such as museums, theatres and cinemas"!

This step feels special.

As they often do, Marvel have channelled their inner Stan Lee to sum it up beautifully in a short film that does far more than plug their upcoming films.

The next step of England's roadmap out of lockdown is scheduled for 17th May and with it the long-awaited reopening of England and Scotland's cinemas. In a mark that there is industry-wide confidence that cinema-goers may return, a raft of studios have also announced dates for major film releases.

Here are the latest dates and where available, the trailers too!

As I write, it is a year to the day since the start of the first U.K. lockdown. It feels an under-statement to say that a lot has changed. 

Observing today's minute silence in memory of the victims was humbling, but as the UK passes the 50% vaccination point for all adults, there are also signs for optimism, for a better future.

In 2010 Avatar blitzed the previous record to become the highest grossing film of all time. In 2019, Avengers: Endgame inched past and has held the title for the past two years.

On Saturday, Avatar's box office total reached $2.802M. Enough for it to reclaim its crown as the highest grossing film of all time.

Since records began, only eleven films have held the title. How many can you name?

We claim absolutely no credit for this wonderful short film. We just came across it and had to share it.

The brain-child of Brazilian film-editor Diego Carrera, it is an astonishing celebration of dancing throughout movie history, cleverly and beautifully put together.

2020 was an interesting year for author, film-maker, screen-writer and artist Adam McDaniel. The fires that ravaged Southern California threatened to engulf his home, he left his job of nearly twelve years with Warner Brothers and his wedding cruise was twice cancelled due to the COVID epidemic.

That would have got a lot of us down but, not McDaniel. He has set out to finish a journey that began, unbeknown to him, a few decades before...

Although the UK is entering another lock-down, there is a chink of light at the end of the (long) tunnel in the form of vaccine roll-outs. So, with our optimistic hat on, here are trailers for the films we are looking forward to seeing later in 2021.

Stay safe and our very best wishes for the New Year.

Even with the welcome news of vaccine roll-outs, many of us are living under tiered restrictions, with many cinemas across the country remaining closed.

For those able and willing to go to a cinema, the big release is Patty Jenkin’s and Gal Gadot’s “Wonder Woman 1984”.

For those of us remaining at home, streaming is the best way to get some well-needed movie escapism. What are we watching?

How many of us remember the adventures of brave Nelwyn dwarf, Willow Ufgood?

George Lucas and Ron Howard's 1988 fantasy adventure "Willow" introduced us to a magical world where biblical stories intertwined with western mythology to lead an unlikely hero on a difficult and dangerous quest.

Disney had some exciting Willow related news to share recently...

Back in May we updated on the corona impacted release dates for the 2020 blockbusters. A lot has happened since then and it has taken its toll on UK cinemas and movie theatres world-wide.

Here are the latest published release dates for films originally due for release in 2020...
