Quick Film Reviews: Sisters, Spectre & Our Brand is Crisis

I’ve been a bit slack with this blog lately, life’s been a bit busy these past five months or so, I mean…I have babies now and everything! (they’re guinea pigs, but still). So I thought I’d kick off with a few ‘quick reviews’ and summarise the films I’ve seen lately, maybe with just one word, maybe a sentence, maybe even a paragraph, I haven’t decided … Continue reading Quick Film Reviews: Sisters, Spectre & Our Brand is Crisis

Disney’s G-Force; Irresponsible Filmmaking

Could films be encouraging and contributing to the neglect of household pets? That was a question that would once have made me roll my eyes. I have always been sceptical about the  impact that films have on their audiences and have never bought into the idea that violent film’s equal violent people and other similar notions. As an avid watcher of horror films since the … Continue reading Disney’s G-Force; Irresponsible Filmmaking

5 TV shows we’d love to see turned into films

Some TV shows are just so good it’s heartbreaking when they come to an end. Making a long running TV series is hard work and time consuming for the cast and crew alike and sometimes it just isn’t feasible to keep a series going any longer. But wouldn’t it be great if our favourite shows could have one last hurrah in the form of a … Continue reading 5 TV shows we’d love to see turned into films

5 Unnecessary Sequels Coming in 2016

Sequels are like Marmite, film fans will either love them or loathe them. Sometimes a sequel is a very good thing and are often much anticipated, and most of the time they do the original justice (although rarely do they exceed them) but occasionally a sequel just seems pointless. 2016 already looks to be a promising year for movies with Paul Feig’s female-fronted Ghostbusters and … Continue reading 5 Unnecessary Sequels Coming in 2016

Kids and Video Nasties: The Media as a Scapegoat for Crime

When I was a kid I’d play Grand Theft Auto before I even knew what a prostitute was or how a gun worked. My favourite way to play the game was to use a cheat to deactivate the police and just run free killing people in imaginative ways with an array of weapons. My brother and I found a list of cheat codes online for … Continue reading Kids and Video Nasties: The Media as a Scapegoat for Crime

What are your top 5…Films released in 2013 (so far)

I have to apologise first that I totally forgot to do this yesterday, this is a Wednesday thing and it’s now Thursday! I went to work yesterday, and the trains are terrible so I had to leave at 20 past 9 even though I didn’t start till 12. So that was pretty much an entire day gone (I finished at 5) and then I went … Continue reading What are your top 5…Films released in 2013 (so far)
