Back in 2008 the world was introduced to a cute little panda called Po. Well maybe he wasn’t all that little… and he wasn’t like fantastically cute. But he was cuddly and people all over the world fell in love with him and all his antics in Kung Fu Panda. Except me, I didn’t love […]
moreI’ve always had a soft spot for the Planet of the Apes films. I’ve only seen the first one but I really like the idea. You know, a planet full of smart apes, something about that resonates with me. Hehe. It’s been 38 years since the last of the original series and 10 years since […]
moreIt’s been so long since I’d written anything here I had to wonder if I was actually going to remember the password. Turns out I did. All is not lost folks, I am back to give you my many apparently unpopular (if my recent stints on Cinerama have taught me anything) opinions. I’ve decided to […]

moreI haven’t given you much of build up on this one but I saw it last night and I decided I really wanted to promote it. Without further ado, Hanna.

moreGoodness! Priest is nearly upon us and I’ve only done one post on it… and that was months ago! Anyway yes, as I said in that post – alternate future? post-apocalyptic dystopia? I’m there. It’s my favourite genre of fiction. I don’t care if there’s vampires, cannibals, zombies or just a simple breakdown of civilisation. […]
moreProudly on the poster, Attack The Block proclaims “From the producers of Shaun of the Dead“. Now, I love Shaun of the Dead, that’s why I’m choosing to ignore that line… I don’t want to burden this innocent first time feature director with those kind of expectations. Let’s let him stand on his own two […]
moreI’m a big fan of the X-Men. Well, more accurately, I’m a big fan of the X-Men films and that brilliant cartoon they had in the ’90s – here’s a flashback for y’all. Oh how I loved that cartoon… I had the theme as a ringtone for a while. It was so good… Anyway, I’m […]
moreYou know. I enjoy a lot of films. I rarely slate a film. I know I wasn’t particularly nice about Scre4m last week but I didn’t slate it. It was alright. I think a lot films are all right and I tend to give a lot middling ratings as a result. If I really think […]
moreWhen I was a kid I used to read about Norse Gods a lot. I dunno, they were much more interesting than the ol’ bible stories. I mean there was that one guy whose children were a serpent, a wolf and a creepy daughter who ruled over Hel. He was always my favourite. Not that […]
