Biography Should Be Written By An Acute Enemy
About five years ago I wouldn’t have been writing this. I’ve been an enthusiastic reader for as long as I can remember. My father was an avid reader and there were always books in the house. I was taught to read from an early age. I could read from, about, the age of three or…

Here’s Looking At You, Kid
There are films that you can watch many, many times and every time you’ll see something new. Usually in the background. Not so much hidden but definitely not intended to grab your attention. It might be a small joke. It could be a clue to what is to come but, paradoxically, you only notice the…

Indie Movie Review – Oops! You’re A Vampire
—
What’s the hardest part about making a vampire film? Probably trying to do something different with the story! Let’s face it, Bram Stoker’s book, Dracula, came out in 1897 and it was a whole four years before an alternative version came out. An Icelandic translation wasn’t so much a translation as a variation on a…

Indie Movie Review – Roadkill
—
When an invitation to view a pre-release screener drops into my mailbox I take a look at the accompanying material so I can get an idea of what I’m in for.

This is about Universal Picture’s biggest franchise and, at the time of writing, the eighth highest grossing film series with a combined gross of over $6 billion. What’s it all about? Basically it is a whole franchise based on a live action version of those car racing games…

Documentary Review – Still: A Michael J Fox Movie
—
I’ll be honest, prior to Back To The Future, I hadn’t heard of him. I guess that I was on the wrong side of the Atlantic to catch any of the numerous TV appearances that he had made from 1978 onwards. Furthermore, I’ll be even more brutally honest and say that, apart from the other…

RunPee Spider-Man Hub
—
in HubSpider-Man has proven to be one of the most entertaining and enjoyable sub-threads of the whole Marvel franchise. This is quite a feat given that he’s been in a dozen films so far and portrayed by seven actors. Maybe it is because most of us start to read comic books in our pre to mid…

RunPee DC Hub

It’s one of those old, old questions…Mods or Rockers, City or United, Marvel or DC? Recent years have seen the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the ascendent but DC haven’t actually been dragging their heels. To be honest, there are an awful lot of films and TV series, both live action and animated. Let’s see if…
