I know what you’re thinking. And the answer is yes: it really is annoying having to type out all that stuff when merely writing the title of the new Twilight movie. But we don’t mind. Because not so secretly here at Ross v Ross, we quite like the Twilight movies. Continue reading
Only one man likes Bond films. His name is Alan Partridge. He doesn’t even exist. Beware of those who proclaim, ‘Oh, I bloody love James Bond movies. Bloody Bond, I bloody love ‘im’. They are liars. No one likes Bond films ***. They are films for people who don’t like films. Pre-packaged and flat-packed. Bond isn’t British. He’s Swedish. He is the Ikea of cinema. Continue reading
This week sees former Hollywood heartthrob Ben Affleck get his facial hair groove on by getting all bearded up for his new movie, Argo. With this in mind, what are some of the best beards to grace the big screen? Continue reading
Did you ever notice that baddies in action films can be killed with a haphazard bullet casually fired in their general direction, but baddies in horror films can survive anything short of having a planet dropped on their head? Why don’t evil megalomaniacs hire their henchmen from horror genres? They’d save a huge amount in wages, not to mention the flowers they have to continuously send to henchwidows.

Or, of course, Quantum Of Solace? What the smeg is a Moonraker? Skyfall, while obviously meaningless, is at least a catchy enough moniker and looks good on a poster. It also lets us come up with a completely tenuous list of movie clips based on the words ‘sky’ and ‘fall’. Yeah, you get the picture. Continue reading
This week sees the release of Frankenweenie, Tim Burton’s latest jaunt into haunting animation. What better time then to rattle through the most memorable Franks in cinema history. Continue reading
Political conferences can be a bit boring. If only they were as exciting in real life as they can be in the movies. Prime minister David Cameron took to the stage today to make his speech at the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham, but did he draw inspiration from these terrific bits of cinema set in a conference or a boardroom meeting? And yes, we do realise how tenuously linked this list is to the Tory Party Conference. But we don’t care. Because we’re awesome. And so are these scenes. Continue reading
