For one reason or another, be it because of Halloween 3's smaller box office earnings or a negative reception, the studio decided to throw it's horror anthology idea out the window and continue making movies where Michael Myers kills people. You can tell that this decision was probably very difficult for them as Halloween 3... Continue Reading →
Yippie! Hurray! Woo! One year ago today I published 'Skyrim: Dragging My Feet' which delved into how I went from considering Skyrim to be one of my favourite games to one of the most boring, and how after hundreds of hours of gameplay I suddenly concluded that I wasn't as interested in the game as...

It might seem disingenuous to subtitle a review of a film that some would consider a cult classic as "the one without Myers", but given the large shadow Halloween as a franchise casts over it, I find it to be nothing but necessary. Because regardless of if you love or hate this film, it's legacy... Continue Reading →
As far as writing goes September hasn't been very nice to me. Writing about Halloween and its sequel was fine, but I've quite struggled with my other reviews that I have been working on.

In 2019 Martin Scorsese said to Empire Magazine that he doesn't go to see Marvel movies and thus doesn't go to see them. But the way in which he phrased this - "I tried, you know. But that's not cinema" - proved to be one of the most controversial things said within the mainstream movie... Continue Reading →
The Phantom Menace is a movie that has long held many different positions in my heart. As a kid I loved it, as a teenager I hated it and as an adult I thought it was so bad it was good. Then, just the other day, about two-three years since my last viewing, I got... Continue Reading →
Okay, I admit it... I'm not a fan of zombie movies. For me personally, the idea of a zombie apocalypse is an inherently silly one. Time and time again zombies are depicted as feral beasts who are a force of nature, but who can quite easily be outsmarted and exploited by even small groups of... Continue Reading →
