Desert Island CD: 12 Of The Best Movie Songs

Posted in TOP FIVES with tags , , on March 20, 2011 by Ross McG

Good old Castor over at Anomalous Material (which I can never spell correctly) has done a cool meme – Desert Island CDs – where we all pick 12 songs from movies to listen to on the beach. I’m a bit late to the party, but here’s 12 of mine off the top of my stupid big head right now. Click the links to hear the tunes. Continue reading

Top five… signs Johnny Depp MAY be a drug user

Posted in TOP FIVES with tags , , , , , , , on March 14, 2011 by Ross McD

Johnny Depp is a user. Indeed, no women (and few men) would mind being used by Johnny Depp. Anyway, to (track)mark the release of the clearly drug-induced Rango, Ross McD and Phantom’s Cinerama produce the evidence… Continue reading

Hook v Pirates of the Caribbean

Posted in BATTLES with tags , , , , , , , , on March 7, 2011 by rossvross

Pirates… they’re not as fun as they used to be. Instead of yo-ho-ho-ing, singing sea shanties, drinking barrels of rum and inexplicably burying treasure instead of spending it, pirates now prefer actually kidnapping and killing people off the coast of Somalia. At least they’re still a bit of craic on screen. The Rosses take a Long John look at the silver screen’s best buccaneers. Click HERE or the pic above to read this battle at Metro Film Fight Club.

Blog Post Of The Week: What’s the point of the Oscars?

Posted in BLOG POST OF THE WEEK with tags , , on February 24, 2011 by Ross McG

To round off our Oscar week here on Ross v Ross, let’s ask if we really should have them at all (Uh… we probably should have them – otherwise what the heck would we have filled our blog with these past few days?). Who better to answer that question than the great Fandango over at Fandango Groovers. One of the first movie blogs we started reading once we got our little shindig off the ground, it still always manages to catch our attention, no mean feat when you get distracted by pretty colours as much as we do. It’s also just celebrated its second birthday. So go over there, wish him a happy birthday and read his great post on the Oscars’ current standing. You can read it by clicking HERE or the image above. Happy birthday, Fands. Enjoy the Terrible Twos… Continue reading

Top Five… Forgotten Oscar Nominations

Posted in TOP FIVES with tags , , on February 24, 2011 by Ross McG

They say history only remembers the winners, so why should Oscar history be any different? Here we countdown the Oscar noms that have completely slipped our tiny, fragile, little minds. These aren’t forgettable performances or movies – far from it – just the ones that make us go, ‘Wow, he/she/it was nominated for an Oscar for that?’ Continue reading
