I really don’t like Will Ferrell.
Really. He’s probably one of the most avidly watched actors in the world today. Millions of people turn out to watch his movies. He’s the actor equivalent of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Will Ferrell makes the same film over and over again and still coins it in.
It’s probably your […]
It’s true. The 1980s were rubbish. I was there, I saw it with my own eyes.
There is far too much fond nostalgia for a decade that, basically, sucked. Too many people hold the ’80s in high regard and it’s starting to make me feel sick. The clothes, the hair, the music. There is no need […]
I watch a lot of films. Life is short and I intend to waste mine with idle loafing in front of screens that make me mentally infertile. What could be better? In fact, that’s where I’ve been for the last few days. Don’t worry! Bud’s not dead!
I’ll tell you about Superbad. It’s a very funny […]
I used to really like Kevin Smith. Or, more specifically, I used to like Kevin Smith’s films. I can’t claim to like him, as I don’t know him.
When I first saw Clerks, around 12 years ago, I thought that it was a very funny film. The shot where Dante gets slapped around the face with […]
Life often leaves me with questions I can’t answer. Why are we here? Why does the toast always land butter-side down? Why the fuck do people keep letting Quentin Tarantino make films?
Last night, I watched Death Proof. That’s the Tarantino half of the misguided and ill-conceived ‘Grind House‘ project, which he made with Robert Rodriguez, […]

I have a perfect puzzle for you

Tim Burton’s recent readaptation of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is, put simply, fucking excellent.
I was a big fan of the book when I was young and as a result of that, a […]
John Carpenter could well be described as a true renaissance man. He’s directed 29 movies, including the ones he has in production now. He’s written 27. He’s acted in 13. And, rather sadly, he’s written the score for 18 films.
Here he is, possibly after being locked up for crimes against synthesizer use:
Carpenter is responsible for […]
Last night I had the somewhat dubious fortune of watching Mel Gibson’s Apocalypto.
Before I get to that, let’s just have a little look at Melvin:
Oh man. He’s really lost it, hasn’t he? Anti-semitism. Drunk driving. Ridiculous beard. He’s starting to look a bit like an Ewok. His grizzly fur and mad eyes say it all: […]
