Evening. So, as the titles states, I semi-recently watched one of my girlfriend’s favourite films. Now, she’s big on French film (and French things in general) – French film to her is what “New Hollywood” films are to me – my favourites! Together, we watched Amélie (Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain). Having not watched much French Cinema from the 21st century, and ignoring my girlfriend’s bias, I … Continue reading So, I Semi-Recently Watched One of My Girlfriend’s Favourite Films…

I’m back. Arnold’s back, too, as he makes his return to the Terminator franchise in the newly-released Terminator Genisys. To be funny: this new movie isn’t about Arnold travelling back in time to stop Peter Gabriel from leaving Genesis. Ha. Anyway, despite the last two Terminator movies being somewhat average (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Terminator Salvation) and despite my disliking for 12A-rated sequels in long-running franchises, I’m relatively … Continue reading Thoughts Prior to Watching ‘Terminator: Genisys’.

The mini-series started with Sylvester Stallone, followed by Jack Nicholson, and now ends with Gene Hackman.

Ho, ho, ho, folks. It’s that time of year when an overload of Christmas movies and generally big-ish movies, old and new, appear on TV. From the benchmark-setting It’s a Wonderful Life (dir. Capra, 1946) to the modern classic Elf (dir. Favreau, 2003), we all have a favourite – my girlfriend’s favourite happens to be Home Alone (dir. Columbus, 1990). In this post, I’ll be discussing my favourite. So, what is my … Continue reading My Favourite Christmas Movie…
Merry Christmas, folks. As it’s Christmas, I feel the need to do a Shot at 60 on Christmas movies. For your information: As only a couple of Christmas movies were released theatrically in the 1970s, I’ve used three 1980s and three 1990s Christmas movies instead of usually having two. Enjoy! Scrooge (1970) National General Pictures / Dir: Ronald Neame / Prod: Solo Santa Claus: The Movie (1985) … Continue reading Shot at 60 part VIII: Christmas
So, via Jean-Claude Van Damme’s Facebook page, I came across a post regarding JCVD starring in a new Kickboxer movie. Wow. Talk of the original Kickboxer movie If you’re not knowledgeable of the original Kickboxer (dir. DiSalle & Worth, 1989), it is THE cult classic martial arts film of the 80s – it even co-stars Dennis Alexio, a former world kickboxing champion. To quickly sum up the story: Eric Sloane … Continue reading Thoughts on 2015’s ‘Kickboxer’ Remake/Reboot and the 1989 Original.
