The 90s. The end of the Cold War. The Spice Girls. New Labour. Euro 96. The PlayStation. The World Wide Web. We all have our memories. Many of them will be of movies in an era where the blockbuster truly came home, where arthouse prospered, where the Brit film soared & where, in some ways, popular culture truly began. I’m A. J. Black. Author, writer & podcaster, and the 90s was my decade. It was probably yours too. So join me as I head down memory lane AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s...

    "We open on an old wooden bench. There's fire and tools in the background, and what looks like a pair of hands building what is revealed to be a set of shiny claws.

Behind the lights; people watch in silence, ready to laugh, or scream out in terror..."
