As a video game-obsessed kid growing up in the early 80s, Tron was a film that seemed tailor made just for me. I was only 5 in 1982, but I […]
After a few decades of false starts and dashed hopes, it was a huge relief when the third Bill & Ted movie went into production. Following the surprise cult hit […]
I was 21 when the original, animated Mulan movie was released; far too cool for those Disney cartoons. They’re for kids, right? It’d take until the release of Tarzan in […]
Or, as the poster would cringily have you think the title was: Fant4stic. Though Marvel’s First Family have reached the big screen before in two middling-at-best 00s efforts, they’ve never […]
I had high hopes for Doomsday, having enjoyed director Neil Marshall’s first two films – Dog Soldiers and The Descent – immensely. Both were low budget, creatively shot films with […]

October heralds the start of Spooky Season – and I’ve already gone way out of my comfort zone to get into the spirit of Halloween by watching the demented Mandy, […]
Keeping to the wrestling theme started with yesterday’s review of comic book Invasion From Planet Wrestletopia, I figured it was way past time that I finally covered Barry Blaustein’s brilliant 1999 documentary going behind the scenes of professional wrestling, Beyond the Mat. It’s a remarkable film that covers an awful lot of ground, from amateur hopefuls looking to get their […]
You can often judge a Nicolas Cage movie purely on the basis of how frequent and intense his freakout scenes are – as well as how well they fit with the tone of the film in general. In that sense – as well as in many others – Mandy is an unqualified success. It’s a pretty extreme film from a […]
I distinctly remember missing the broadcast of the very first episode of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe in the UK; I was out playing with friends while it was on and we were all extremely jealous of the talk in the playground the next day, having not been able to witness what we were told was an absolutely […]
