Having fought against the Predator, the T1000 Terminator, and even Batman... Where does Arnie go next? F*ck it, have him fight THE DEVIL*.

Watching ‘The Terminator’ in the Cinema…
On Saturday 9th July, with my oldest friend (nicknamed "The Niko"), I watched The Terminator - the 1984 classic on the big screen. The day started off with a small venture around Manchester's "Northern Quarter" in pursuit of a bike seat, unfortunately for Niko, the seat couldn't be obtained - a heavy-ish rain doubled the misery. After... Continue Reading →

My Favourite Christmas Movie…
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... Continue Reading →
Shot at 60 part VIII: Christmas
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:... Continue Reading →
