Midday Matinées @middaymatinees.bsky.social · 25/09/2026A new piece on a much newer film than Napoleon, and one relevant to one of this week’s cinema drops. For paid subscribers, but you can become one for £1.00 a month, at Midday Matinées. Or more, if you want badges. www.patreon.com/MiddayMatine...patreon.comWelcome to Collinwood (2002) | Midday Matinées with James Cooray Smith"Money comes. Money goes. What's important is to have someone to walk with." Something I want to do occasionally on here is dig out a review 011
Midday Matinées @middaymatinees.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Because I like B-sides (and indeed Double A-sides) the second half of this (free) post is a review of a film 99 years younger than Napoleon and about as different from it as you can imagine. That's maybe worth a click through and subscribing for free or even £1.00 a month? 044
