SFX Weekender: Geeks never smelt so bad!

Many a geeky weekend have I been on but none have impressed me more than the SFX Weekender. The first of many or so they think…
Lets just say, inviting films to premiere and stars to appear at an event held by SFX magazine is an honour. The magazine looks great, the articles are fresh and well I [...]

A Park Chan-Wook Film: Thirst

First off, I have to admit Mr Wook’s films go over my head sometimes and Thirst is no different.
However this man can do no wrong. He takes a vampire story we’ve seen a few times before in different guises and puts a personal stamp on it that will last for a long time.  His films looks [...]

Helping Haiti – Everybody Hurts

So I have no clue when this is released but all proceeds go to Haiti Relief.  This is the song that Gordon Brown asked Simon Cowell to bring together in a few weeks to help with fund raising after the quake that brought Haiti to it’s knees.  I have a feeling we as a country [...]

The Book Of Eli – Are the God Squad That DESPERATE?

Where do I begin?!?!
This has to be the worst film of 2010 so far… It would have beat 2012 to the punch last year as worst film of 2009.
The Book Of Eli is 80% Walking Broodily, 2% action, 2% entertainment and 16% Indoctrination.
Yes, I’d expect this sort of tactic from the Scientology camp but not [...]

Woo Hoo – I’m Awesome – The Course

We had to rewrite some sentances.
The green snake slithered across the table.
Wound so tight he could have been a spring ready for action, Freddy the snake viewed his life as a dance, every move was a calculated gesture of seduction and threat. A snake has to eat, not be eaten so imagine Freddy’s surprise [...]

The Apple Tablet, it comeths!!

Although I am not an apple fan, it seems to me like they’re going to take the bull by the horns and actually show what a tablet can do.  I was kinda hoping Microsoft would do that at the keynote speech at CES, however they just breezed over the fact that they had some Tablet [...]

Run, Fatty, Run! – The Second Draft

I’ve just posted this over at the writing course, if you check out the previous post in the catagory you’ll see what ammendments Mr Shipp suggested I make.
I have changed the grammatical errors and also added/deleted stuff.  There’s also an underlined section which is the old paragraph with the newer one beneath, not sure if [...]

My Short Stories – The Critique!

So below is a copy of the two short stories I submitted to my creative writing course along with critique from the tutor.  I have no clue how I’m going to handle the second draft.  Do I tackle both or do I tackle one of them?
The first is one I’ve posted on here already called [...]

It’s Complicated… Or Is It?

No, no it’s not.
Divorced couple for over 10 years with three kids, dad left mum for younger model, had a demon child… One of the original kids is graduating, Divorced couple end up in the same hotel bar night before graduation, get a little bit tipsy and begin an affair.
TAA DAA!!!
That’s the plot and story [...]

Ninja Assassin – An Exercise In Acting

… or lack there of.
Now this film has me in a bit of a dilemma, had the film been non stop action, it would have been the perfect popcorn flick. The only problem is, the acting ability of the cast in this piece is literally zero; this merged with awful dialog and cliche upon cliche piled on [...]
