A Beautiful Mind: Genius Or Total Trash?

I’m not silly, you know. I know that everyone loves A Beautiful Mind, and that many people consider it Russell Crowe’s best work (not a hard decision when you look at his accent in the recent version of Robin Hood…). But still, after watching the film again recently, I decided that it was worthy of a reconsideration. “Is this film amazing?” I thought to myself, “or is the ending so ridiculous that it can’t possibly redeem itself, no matter how More

First Blood, First Cut

There is a particular reason why I ask for the same hairdresser each and every time: knowledge. I discovered this the first time I went to the salon and was absolutely shocked.

Looking in the mirror, I thought I was looking at a regular hairdressing type. You know the kind of man I’m talking about: dressed neatly, with shirt sleeves rolled up, and nodding in approval when I say how much I need hacking off.

Then he starts talking about More

That Movie Series

Growing up, better than hovis bread and real butter – which I was a rascal for – and better than dressing up as the meanest cowboy in my village, I liked watching films that I wasn’t supposed to watch. I watched quite a few, and my parents didn’t discover my secret for almost two years. By then I was just about old enough to put on a half-manly voice which was gruff enough to convince them that I could watch More

The Fun In Role Play

No, before you get all excited and start clappig, I’m not talking about the “why don’t I play doctor and you play nurse?” kind; no, this article is a whole lot more savoury and is all about those delightful role playing games that so many of us grew up with. Now please, stop thinking of all those nasty unsavoury thoughts!

I particularly remember Zelda, or the Legend of Zelda, or whatever it was called. I’m not sure if it was More

Million Dollar Baby

If you ask me, too many people haven’t seen Million Dollar Baby. The film is a bit of a masterpiece, was made by – and starred – the one and only Clint Eastwood, and features Hilary Swank as a female boxer who will stop at nothing to…You guessed it, punch stuff: punch-bags, those funny speed-ball things that look like fun, and even opponents faces and heads and body’s. In other words, she’s a woman on a mission, and the story More

Evil But Not Dead

It doesn’t matter if you’re a nerd and you collect custom stickers , or if you’re a business man who rarely watches films – most people have seen and liked the Evil Dead series, and for good reason. All three films are a riot of comedy horror, dodgy special effects and the one and only Bruce Campbell’s chin. In my opinion, all this makes the Evil Dead Series a classic.

What many people don’t know about how the first film More

Why I Love Films & Videogames

Non-film-loving people often ask me why I love films and videogames so much. Depending on how I am feeling, I’ll give one of two precise and well-practiced answers. Usually 1) Because I do (when I can’t be bothered or 2) Because combined, films and videogames make up some of the best in-home experiences that someone could ever have with his clothese on, is why.

People who hate films and videogames often get lost at this point and just give up. More

Nostalgia Central: BIG

I was fortunate: when I was small, BIG appeared out of nowhere and gave us children something to watch that was really adult and actually really original. Here was a rare kind of film that didn’t come along very often: one that treated us kids as intelligent enough to figure the bigger things out. A film which wasn’t all nice, but was also laced with a kind of honesty that was hard to take and also good to watch.

Movie Review: Lars And The Real Girl

Lars And The Real Girl is…Well, it’s not quite a romantic comedy – as the other lead character alongside Ryan Gosling is an anatomically correct doll in the shape of a busty female – and it’s not really a comedy either. While there elements of both in the film, it’s more drama, or something. Or is it? To tell you the truth, nobody seems to know what genre this film is exactly, but with a rating of 81% on Rotten More
