DVD RvReview: Bambi

Posted in BLOG POST OF THE WEEK with tags Best Picture, Movies, Oscars on February 4, 2011 by Ross McG
When we started Blog Post Of The Week recently we were initially keen to feature something from a different movie blogger each week. But that premise just got blown out of the water by our pal Univarn over at A Life In Equinox. Last month we picked his piece on how IMDb’s ‘Known For’ new section doesn’t really, er, work. But this week we couldn’t ignore his quite brilliant post, Diary Of A Best Picture Winner. On his Twitter account, Univarn said this was ‘the first post in a while I’ve written and it came out just how I wanted it to’. At first glance that might appear an arrogant comment, but it’s not. We know exactly what he means. That feeling of just writing something that you’ve just nailed. Well, Univarn, you nailed it buddy. Click HERE or the picture above to read his post. Continue reading

Find out what Ross McG thought of Ben Affleck’s The Town by clicking HERE or the picture above. In other news, we’re running a caption competition on the photo. It’s a competition where you don’t win anything though, other than the right to be obnoxious like us. So far, the best we got is: ‘The cast of My Name Is Earl were gutted to hear their show had been cancelled.’ Yep, you can do better than that… Continue reading

Blog Post Of The Week: X-Men: First Class And Superhero Nostalgia
Posted in BLOG POST OF THE WEEK with tags Comics, Movies, X-Men on January 27, 2011 by Ross McG
This week’s post of the week comes from Darren over at The Movie Blog. If ever a website deserved its title, this is it. He’s been on our blogroll since we started and for good reason. While at RvR we often deal in a pithiness that can very quickly get tiresome, Daz dissects films in intrinsic detail, always remembering to entertain the reader as he goes along. For instance, I have little to no interest in comic books, but I love reading what he writes about them, in the same way I suppose that I know nothing about cars but like watching Top Gear. Okay, I think I’ve bigged him up enough. His post that we’re featuring this week is about the new X-Men movie. Instead of drooling over the new pictures released, Darren delves into how the film’s historical setting will impact on audiences. It’s a great post. Read it by clicking HERE or the picture above.
