A new “Avatar” movie was apparently released recently, but as I haven’t seen it yet on streaming services or digital download, reviews of it will have to wait.
I have, however seen the original Avatar movie from 2009 because I have it both on DVD and on Digital Download. I may have also seen it by streaming it on Amazon Prime, but I can’t remember now as I don’t think it’s available on there free with the monthly subscription any more.
I first finally obtained Avatar on DVD from a charity shop (or Poundland, I can’t remember now). Then in November 2020 I picked up a Digital download from the UK iTunes store while it was cheap to see if it would display any better in that format with HD Quality.
In January 2-years ago I came up with the idea of adding movie reviews to the blog, and in March 2-years ago I wrote a movie review. Having since created a dedicated user account for movie reviews some time later, I figured it was about time in March 2023 to start trying to write a few more reviews to pop on the blog.
After many years of anticipation, in May 2022 the “Top Gun 2” movie, better known as “Top Gun: Maverick” was finally launched, and smashed it out of the ballpark.
Not long after it was released to digital download, and later to DVD/Blu-Ray, and I got hold of a copy for £13.99 from iTunes UK at the end of September 2022, and finally found time on 6th October to watch the whole 2hrs 11minutes of it.
The movie “Le Mans ’66” or “Ford vs Ferrari” (depending on which market it’s being sold in) is the story about how the Ford GT-40 became a thing.
It’s not often fairly recent movies catch my attention, but this one somehow did through a combination of preview clips on YouTube and trailers on both Amazon Prime and iTunes.
I was originally hoping to catch it on Amazon Prime, but I didn’t get chance to preview it on there because it left Prime before I got chance to watch it. Continue reading “Le Mans ’66 (2019) Review”
In the on-going quest to Make AlltheInterweb Great Again, I have started contemplating making better use of the Entertainment section of this blog with Movie Reviews.
Being the first month of the year I’m once again starting to see fresh flickers of life in my quest to become one of the more successful content creator type people here on the interweb. Continue reading “AlltheInterweb Movie Reviews”
After the booming 80’s came the 1990’s, and more great movies, and here they are…..

The 1980’s eventually turned into one of the best decades ever, it was my first full decade…. Margaret Thatcher was British Prime Minister…. Ronald Reagan was American President….
