Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

A happy Good Friday to you all! Today, I’m sharing my review on ‘Jesus of Nazareth’, a 1977 TV dramatisation on the Biblical story of Jesus Christ, directed by Franco Zeffirelli and featuring a stellar cast led by Robert Powell as Jesus.

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Movie Review – ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Sea’ (1954)

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

My knowledge of Jules Vernes as a novelist is rather limited. I’ve only heard a few mentions and references to his books in films like ‘Back to the Future, Part III’ and I have seen a film adaptation of ‘Journey to the Centre of the Earth’ with Brendan Fraser. But I haven’t read any of Verne’s books. 😐 Continue reading

DVD review – ‘North by Northwest’

Hello everyone! 🙂

Welcome to ‘Bradley’s Basement’ blog and I’m Tim Bradley!

Is it normal for a ‘Doctor Who’ fan to review an Alfred Hitchcock movie? (Pause) I don’t know, but I’m going to do it anyway. Today, I’ve released a new page on my blog called ‘The World of Alfred Hitchcock’. And today, I’ve added my new DVD review on the 1959 film called ‘North by Northwest’. Continue reading
