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 →
Afternoon. Yes, I'm pretty late when it comes to watching Star Wars 7 - I was meant to see it on opening day (even bought tickets!), but something cropped up, and I've been either too busy or not in the mood to watch it since - this changed on Tuesday. This post isn't a review of the... Continue Reading →

Evening. Yes, as the title reads, I have purchased some Clint Eastwood-starred movies. To my great surprise, there are many movies with Uncle Clint in 'em that I don't (or didn't) have in my DVD collection - e.g. Coogan's Bluff (Siegel, 1968) - of which I have now purchased. The purchases included, Coogan's Bluff as mentioned, another Don Siegel collaboration,... Continue Reading →

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... Continue Reading →

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.
