It’s back… Three years in existence and sixteen months on the shelf, Shot at 60 is back with the third of four actor-based specials – this one specifically focusing on the work of Galaxy Quest‘s Sigourney Weaver. Enjoy! (Note: For this Shot at 60, only one image will be from the 1970s, therefore, the 1980s and 1990s will be increased to three images each.) Annie Hall (1977) United Artists … Continue reading Shot at 60 part X8: Sigourney Weaver
Welcome back! You’re in for a treat, folks, as two of the three X-Men movies within this part of the marathon are within my “Top 3 of the X-Men Film Franchise” – Days of Future Past and Logan, obviously. “The best since X2!” – Fans, 2014 My god, the above is/was disgustingly true. Days of Future Past was an absolute joy to watch. The concept of linking the heroes of the original X-Men trilogy … Continue reading ‘X-Men’ Movie Marathon: Part II
From 2000’s X-Men to this year’s Logan, over the past 3-4 weeks I have completed a marathon of 20th Century Fox’s most prolific superhero film franchise. TRIVIA: Logan is the only X-Men film that I have watched in the cinema. Initially, Mumsy possessed the desire to watch Days of Future Past, though she had not previously watched First Class, or properly watched the original trilogy; however, she had seen the trio of Origins: Wolverine, The … Continue reading ‘X-Men’ Movie Marathon: Part I

Phantasm: Ravager; Director: David Hartman; US Distributor: Well Go USA Entertainment; Country: USA. The first Phantasm film since 1998’s Phantasm IV: Oblivion, but the first to NOT be directed by series creator, Don Coscarelli, however, he does have a writing credit. This is… Phantasm: Ravager. My recommendation: do not watch Phantasm: Ravager if you haven’t watched the preceding films. As one would expect, the film opens with the heroic former ice cream vendor, Reggie. Kinda picking … Continue reading For ReadFilm.co: “Review: ‘Phantasm: Ravager’ (2016)”
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 film, but rather my thoughts after watching it, as the … Continue reading Sorry I’m Late: Thoughts After Watching ‘Star Wars 7’ or ‘The Force Awakens’ or Whatever…

Well, the original Predator (McTiernan, 1987) movie is usually considered to be the only worthwhile entry in the film series, but unlike many it seems, I don’t mind its sequel…and I find something intriguing in the film. Predator 2 (Hopkins, 1990) appeared in 1990, with Danny Glover (dude from the Lethal Weapon films) in the lead role – a street war-ridden futuristic (1997) LA was the setting for the film. The … Continue reading Something Intriguing in ‘Predator 2’

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’
