About Me

Hi – This is One Mann’s Movies (onemannsmovies). I’m Bob Mann (aka “The Fad”). I’m 63 and living in Romsey in the UK. (Yes, that’s right… I’m old enough to have seen “Star Wars” when it FIRST came out!).

I have had a lifelong love of cinema. That’s ever since my mum took me to see Mary Poppins at the age of four. And then the next day… And then the next day….   

About My Reviews

My “Film Reviews” on this site are my own personal views on films seen at the cinema from 2013 onwards.  I used to separate reviews into “Film Reviews”, “DVD Reviews”, etc. but now, given streaming and cinemas are merging their outputs, they are all now “Film Reviews”. BUT, I am a big fan of the big screen experience, so MOST of these reviews are for movies I’ve seen at a cinema.

Watch out for my “Top 10 Films of the Year” posts in late December and also my Oscar/BAFTA “Will Win/Should Win” posts early in the New Year.

My film ratings used to be measured in terms of ‘Fads’. One Fad (F) was a truly abysmal film; Five Fads (FFFFF) reflected an epic movie and rarely bestowed! More recently I have switched back to a rather more boring star-rating out of 5.

I just read your ex machina review on imdb. I’d love to get notified of new reviews you do. Is this the proper place to ask?

Thanks, Bob, for your movie reviews. You are fair, well-spoken, and you do not write with an arrogant attitude.

Please add my e-mail to your mailing list.

Thanks,

Looking forward to reading more of your reviews. I found your review today of “Far Ftom the Madding Crowd,” the third version of this book-to-film treatment I’ve seen. Your title, X-rated for Sheep” made me bark madly with laughter. Pun intended. I like great writing.
I like watching films and UK telly programs as they are made available here.
You, therefore, were a boon of a find.
All best!

Sorry, I didn’t know where else to post this.

Ready Player One review:

“Almost unrecognizable in the role is the woman of the hour Letitia Wright (“Black Panther“, “Thor: Ragnarok“) as Wade’s inventor friend Reb.”

That was not Letitia Wright, it was Lena Waithe from the Netflix series “Master of None.”

Actually, I was partially wrong too. Lena Waithe is the inventor but her character is named Aech/ Helen. Letitia Wright has a character named Reb but she is a background character at the safe house dropping off groceries. I had no idea Letitia Wright was in this movie. Oops.

My wife and I (we live in California) saw you and your daughter on Pointless. We thought you should have won! And I decided to subscribe to your movie blog. I am also a big movie lover and I look forward to reading your reviews. Cheers!

Hi Bob, 

  Hope you’re keeping well.

 I came across your blog Bob The Movie Man and was keen to understand if you would be interested to review about our free to air AVOD service, DistroTV (www.distro.tv) where audiences can consume 150+ live channels and thousands of hours of content for free without having to subscribe or paying any fees.

 Look forward to your response.
