Man of Steel was okay (my brother really dislikes it). The Dark Knight trilogy was very good. Now, I am an avid comic book fan – I have first issues, first appearances, graphic novels, single issues of importance etc. etc. Also, I am a fan of both Batman and Superman, in film, cartoon, and comic. However, I’m not overly hyped about the new movie. Why, Dom? Why? Firstly, … Continue reading I’m Not Hyped About ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’
Firstly, I’m not overly fond of the term “pet hate”, but at this current time, it’s essential to use. Anyway… After the name of an actor or actress reads on the back cover, a different film starring said actor/actress is usually listed within brackets – this is fine – until the bracketed film is from a considerable amount of time after the film in which … Continue reading A “Pet Hate” Regarding Home Video Releases.
It was Friday evening, Brittany & I had finished watching Gogglebox, we then didn’t know what to watch – before the TV viewings, we had eaten out, which was nice – a chat show/game show-type trash followed Gogglebox, which forced us to change the channel…we flicked over to ITV4, and on it was Dirty Harry, a #ProperITV4 film. Obviously, Brittany hadn’t previously watched Dirty Harry, where as … Continue reading Life Update: Watched the Second Half of ‘Dirty Harry’ with the Missus…

First presented in a sequence of attacks from an underground “death match”, “Stingray” (real name: Paul Taylor) is the antagonist of the US-shot Hong Kong production, Undefeatable (Ho, 1993). “Stingray” is not only a skilled and deadly fighter; he is a psychotic wife beater. In an early scene, “Stingray” rapes his wife, which leads to her fleeing the family home – this drives “Stingray” on a personal … Continue reading Obscure Movie Villains: “Stingray” from ‘Undefeatable’
Yes, what if the new Star Wars movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is pure shit – shit like Attack of the Clones? Imagine the mass hysteria it would cause. The Force Awakens is the most anticipated movie of 2015, and probably the most anticipated in years. This is massive. This is the first Star Wars sequel. The hype surrounding this movie creates high expectations, as one would presume. “Original trilogy” cast … Continue reading What if ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ is pure sh*t?

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…
