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.... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →

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... 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 and welcome to the second in this four-part series of actor-based Shot at 60 specials. The last edition, part XVI, featured Harrison Ford films..."Arnie" is now the focus for part X-Seven. Enjoy... Hercules in New York (1970) Lionsgate / Dir: Arthur Allan Seidelman / Prod: Wisberg Stay Hungry (1976) United Artists / Dir: Bob Rafelson / Prod:... Continue Reading →
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... Continue Reading →

Look below to see my choices, folks. And enjoy. Day 1 - Favourite... Continue Reading →
Welcome to the latest addition of Shot at 60, an addition featuring a few cult favourites (I guess?) and perhaps an average film or two. Enjoy... Shaft (1971) Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer / Dir: GordonParks / Prod: Freeman Magnum Force (1973) Warner Bros. / Dir: Ted Post / Prod: Daley Blazing Saddles (1974) Warner Bros. / Dir: Mel Brooks /...

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 →
Not a special-themed Shot at 60, but a Shot at 60 featuring some special films... Enjoy. Play Misty for Me (1971) Universal Pictures / Dir: Clint Eastwood / Prod: Daley Jaws (1975) Universal Pictures / Dir: Steven Spielberg / Prod: Zanuck & Brown Rocky II (1979) United Artists / Dir: Sylvester Stallone / Prod: Chartoff & Winkler Labyrinth (1986)...

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...
