Conan the Barbarian   2 comments

Or Slownan the Borebarian which I feel would have been a more apt title for this film. I can’t begin to describe how really bad I think this film is. From the cringeworthy opening shot of Conan’s dad (played by Ron Perlman) holding his newborn CGI baby son aloft, after cutting it from his wife’s [...]

Beast of Morbach   Leave a comment

Has anyone else heard the story of a man called Thomas Johannes Baptist Schwytzer who was a deserter from Napoleon’s army after the battle for Moscow? The story goes that he deserted after the battle and started trying to make his way back to his hometown of Alsace with a small band of Russian deserters. Supposedly when [...]

The Inbetweeners Movie   Leave a comment

On Thursday night I went to my local cinema to watch the new Inbetweeners Movie. I have to say overall I was very impressed with the film, having been waiting patiently for its release since I first read online (where else?) that it was happening. The film delivers what it promises, a big screen version [...]

Rising Damp The Movie   Leave a comment

Is anyone else a fan of Rising Damp the movie? It’s a film version of the successful 1970s television series released in 1980. Starring Leonard Rossiter as landlord Rigsby with Frances de la Tour as Miss Ruth Jones the woman he desires along with lodgers Philip (Don Warrington) and John (Christopher Strauli-whose character replaced that of the late Richard Beckinsale). It’s a classic of British film [...]

Occult Museum   2 comments

I’m still not sure to what extent I believe in the occult and all that goes with it, but I do find the whole subject very interesting. With that in mind I very recently watched on YouTube (where else) a short film about the occult museum started by Lorraine and the late Ed Warren.  Lorraine, [...]

The Apprentice   Leave a comment

I see a new series of the Apprentice has hit the airwaves. Cue the usual amount of smug, smarmy backstabbers who say things like ‘I’m the best business person ever’ and ‘I didn’t come here to make friends, I’m here to win’ etc. The show started in 2005 as a UK spin-off of the succesful US version [...]

Most are saying that he was not killed in the raid on his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan by US Navy Seals, but was in fact dead already and had been [...]
