I’m a huge fan of Motorsport, and in particular Formula One. Yes, I know, all you people who know anything about F1 will know it’s in serious trouble at the moment, and I am well aware of that as can be seen from my Blog. However, when the arguing and … [Read More]
You know some real life movies just instantly lend themselves to the cinematic medium, even from the conception stage and the two line pitch. However, this one I’m struggling with. According to Variety, through Coming Soon, Alex Winter has been hired by Paramount and MTV Films to write Napster: The … [Read More]
Shrek 2 was good, but let’s face it, it was nowhere near as good as Shrek. At least not until the action really started, then the original feeling really started coming through for me. One thing that disappointed me was the addition of a new sidekick, which watered down Donkey’s … [Read More]
Sometimes I do feel that magazines get caught up in themselves and their need to bash what they preach. For instance I stopped buying XBox Official magazine because all they did was hype the XBox and slate the PS2, I own both and they each have their merits. Likewise Empire … [Read More]

Eddie Izzard is more than just one of the best comedians of our age, and his foray into acting could well be charted as a rising curve graph, something which of late has been looking significantly higher. Anyone who saw his UK TV drama appearance in 40 would be surprised … [Read More]
Not strictly movies, but close enough for me. I’m a big fan of CSI, the original more than Miami, and NY is growing as I watch it, but nothing beats that first team. Especially for me Grissom, the character played by William L. Petersen who I first saw in Manhunter … [Read More]

To catch up on the history of this, check out the following posts: Censorship and rewriting affect both His Dark Materials and Exorcist: The Beginning Exorcist: The Beginning DVD announced without Schraders version Paul Schraders Exorcist: The Beginning to … [Read More]
I came across TheForce.net while researching for the Matrix parody The Helix…Loaded post, and at the time I downloaded a number of movies to watch, the majority looked pretty silly but I thought they might be fun. It’s worth realising that although these are all hosted on a Star Wars … [Read More]
Hey there folks, John here. For the three of you out there who might be interested in this (my girlfriend, my mom, and probably Richard), another newspaper has run an article about yours truly and The Movie Blog (The Chicago Tribune did one a few days ago). Those of you … [Read More]
