I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking at.
I don’t know whether you’ve heard, but here in the UK we took the following approach to Melania, the documentary going out on general release tomorrow night (Friday 30th January): apart from the odd national journalist who’s obliged to go, but who, such is the state of things, may work for a proprietor whose interest … Continue reading Melania – the movie. Review. Jan 29, 2026.
Paedophile rings & necklaces. We have to break our current story, to bring you an update in the Epstein files release.

THE FIX IS IN -review. A novella that feels like an eye witness account to a thrilling racing coup. Have you ever come across those stories about people who’ve lived in the future, and come back to tell everyone about it? Not those NDE stories, they’re just dreams, well, perhaps the odd one, but I … Continue reading 14th Sept – we’ll drink and we’ll dance ’til the end of our days.
Brought to you by our ace TV & film analyst Cubby "eyes like boiled eggs" Begge.swear-word free edition. We’re funny us British, we’re sort of naff, and useless, and miles more timid and ponderous than we’d have you believe —but we’re a race of people happy to hide behind the complacent assumption made by others … Continue reading 31st August – King & Conqueror; and Thursday Murder Club. Reviews just in.
In a desperate attempt to widen the appeal of this celebration of misery, I, like Sammo Bietch before me, with his ideas about football, have been offered this small corner of the internet to present my thoughts. My name is Cubby Begge and I will be writing about things that I have watched on some … Continue reading About this section
A Complete Unknown - it's close, but it's not right. As wonderful as this film is in parts, its lack of interest in getting important facts right, means that it doesn't quite hit the bullseye in the same way that Elvis did. Did you ever see Amadeus? In that film, Salieri, Imperial Kapellmeister, and Court … Continue reading You’ll have to decide, whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side.
Dickie White still refuses to come out, for fear of breaking his New Year's Resolution not to think about killing himself until at least March. He has asked me to wish all participants in the forthcoming World War III, absolutely no luck at all.Yours in art, Cubby Begge - eyes face forward.

It need not be a task that eats into their busy schedules: whereas the writer of Red Eye has had his arse handed to him on a plate; Tony Schumaker, the writer of Responder, should be nominated for a BAFTA, would suffice.
Emerald Fennell whose name will always be attached to this monumentally embarrassing mistake of a project, is a person of wealth. Unfortunately though, not of taste. Both Jade and Emerald, seem somehow envious of the work of great writers and film makers, and have attempted to mirror their brilliance. The result, in both cases, comes over as no better than the vanity projects of well-funded, wannabee, amateurs.
It should be watched while reclining on deep velvet cushions, alongside someone with whom you have shared all the very best things in life. Either that or from a bath of warm crème anglaise.
