Just to let you know, the Dillon Empire is risking algorithmic excommunication from the Temple of Medium by taking a holiday. Shocking, I know. But I believe in taking proper breaks, which means unplugging fully and completely from all online activity. It’s incredibly freeing and I highly recommend it once in a while.

Rest assured, normal service will resume in about a week or so, with coming film-related attractions including:

Top Ten Mad Scientists In Cinema

My all-time favourite big screen lunatics indulging in because-we-can playing God shenanigans.

Ken Russell Critiqued My Short Film

The legendary British director taught me during my final year of university.

The Last of the Mohicans: 30 Years On

Michael Mann’s adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper’s novel remains a first-rate rousing romantic adventure.

I Pity Those Who Don’t Find ‘A Fish Called Wanda’ Funny

Any excuse to talk about John Cleese’s hilarious classic comedy heist thriller.

Once Upon a Time in America Revisited
