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 the saddle scenario, we approached HOME – the art complex … Continue reading Watching ‘The Terminator’ in the Cinema…

Thoughts Prior to Watching ‘Terminator: Genisys’.

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’.

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 post, I’ll be discussing my favourite. So, what is my … Continue reading My Favourite Christmas Movie…

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: Ronald Neame / Prod: Solo   Santa Claus: The Movie (1985) … Continue reading Shot at 60 part VIII: Christmas
