Great Scott! Could they be making a Back to the Future musical? Alas no, not yet but if they did, and they totally should, this would be the perfect song to include in it! The amazingly talented folks at Cinefix have made one of their legendary Homemade Movies, starring Continue Reading

Weekend Pop Art #8: Grumpy Cat and Disney together? Believe it!
Grumpy Cat, a feline who has yet to find a person, event or circumstance he can’t regard with glum disinterest, and the inhabiter of one of the more prevalent, virulent, and yes, hilarious memes on the worldwide web, has been embraced by Disney. Well in a manner of speaking. Continue Reading
Movie review: Captain Phillips
It is an oft used axiom that there are always two sides to every coin. But mainstream movie makers have not always been quick to honour this truism, often preferring to render their protagonists as all-capable three dimensional beings for whom no task is too great and no victory Continue Reading
Marvellous massing of movie trailers #5: Dear Mr Watterson, The Book Thief, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, That Awkward Moment
Once more to the movies my friends once more! And as always the heralds to what will hopefully be engaging, rewarding and water cooler-sharing worthy films are the trailers which arrive with the sort of frequency I would like my local train provider to follow. I have a mixed Continue Reading
Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock trip the light fantastic … on a Big set of piano keys
Oh happy piano key tap dancing days! Two of my favourite actors in the whole world, Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock – as opposed to the intergalactic ones but that’s a matter for another post entirely – appeared together on the October 12 edition of The Jonathan Ross Show in Continue Reading
Movie review: About Time
I am very much of the opinion that Richard Curtis, a man who has brought us such cinematic delights as Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and Love Actually, and now the charms of About Time, leads a charmed, romantically rarefied existence far beyond the reach of the Continue Reading
Looking for some belly-ripping laughter? Try Aliens: The Sitcom
This is pretty much my new most favourite thing ever! Aliens, as terrifying a movie as you’re ever likely to see, re-imagined by the very funny Dorks of Yores (a YouTube channel featuring the work of Mad TV‘s Pat Kilbane and The New in Living Color‘s Melissa McQueen) as a cheesy Continue Reading
Poster me this #3: Imaginative alternate promotional artwork for Gravity
Gravity is one of those rare movies that is every bit as good, and indeed possibly even better, than the buzz that preceded its release. A masterfully immersive movie from Alfonso Cuarón, it makes you feel as if you in space with the astronauts in mortal peril, Dr Ryan Continue Reading
Can’t wait to see: I, Frankenstein
SNAPSHOT 200 years after his shocking creation, Dr. Frankenstein’s creature, Adam [Aaron Eckhart], still walks the earth. But when he finds himself in the middle of a war over the fate of humanity, Adam discovers he holds the key that could destroy humankind. (source: mynerdblog.com) “You cannot save Continue Reading
Movie review: Gravity
Gravity is one of those films you go the movies for. A triumph for both Alfonso Cuarón, who acts as both director, producer and co-writer (with son Jonás Cuarón) and Sandra Bullock (Dr Ryan Stone), who spends much of the film alone, lost in the silent cold of space 600km Continue Reading
