We Rosses tend to be an unsocial lot. We barely have time to be nice to one another, so why would we bother spreading love among our fellow movie bloggers? Alas, for us, this often means we miss out on a lot of the admittedly great blogging memes that go round every once in a while. For that, we apologise, we will try harder to be better this year. Maybe. Anyway, the reason I’m rambling on about that is this post is our own little lame contribution to our good pal Paul over at Paragraph Films and his exceedingly funny James Bond January. He has been going through every one of the 261 films or whatever it is in the series, with truly entertaining results. I go to this guy’s site regularly just for his hilarious use of WordPress tags alone. He really is that good. If you get the chance, get through his Bond reviews. In the meantime, join us after the jump for Ross McG’s own little addition to JBJ. That’s James Bond January, not Jon Bon Jovi, in case you were wondering. Continue reading

Top Five… Movie Buses
Posted in TOP FIVES with tags Bus, Movies on January 24, 2011 by Ross McGMovie buses aren’t like real buses at all. While you wait ages for a normal bus to arrive and then two come at once, great cinematic buses pull into your stop about once every decade. When they do arrive, however, they are always worth getting on. Click HERE or the picture above of a certain iconic cop waiting on the bus to read this post Ross McG has done for the good guys at the UK’s biggest movie blog, HeyUGuys.co.uk. So get over there if you can and comment and have a good delve round their site, it’s ace. Continue reading
‘I was born in the wrong decade’ – the Mandy Moore interview
Posted in INTERVIEWS with tags Disney, Mandy Moore, Movies, Tangled on January 24, 2011 by Ross McGFrom pop princess to Disney princess, Mandy Moore has come a long way. At just 26, her albums have sold millions and she has starred in a whole host of movies. These have varied from the syrupy (A Walk To Remember) and the downright forgettable (Licence To Wed) to the completely inspired (Saved!). She has backed those up with TV roles in the likes of Entourage, Scrubs, Grey’s Anatomy and The Simpsons. She is married to singer Ryan Adams. In her latest film, Disney’s rather fun 50th animated feature, Tangled, she voices Rapunzel. She spoke to Ross McG about her teen idol roots, why she has had enough of rom-coms, her desire to work for Quentin Tarantino and how she was never going to end up like Britney Spears. Click HERE or the picture above to read the interview at Metro.co.uk. Continue reading

Posted in BLOG POST OF THE WEEK with tags Amelie, Batman Begins, Blogs, Movies, Sherlock Holmes on January 21, 2011 by Ross McGI have a real love/hate relationship going with Castor over at the movie blog Anomalous Material. I love him because his website is just all kinds of awesomeness and is one of the first I click on every day… and I hate him because his website is so awesome. Not the kind of hatred that keeps me up at night, but pretty damn close. This I’m sure is the first of many occasions when Castor’s stuff will feature in our blog post of the week and this one is a doozy. Click HERE or the pic above to read his envy-inspiringly detailed look at where Amélie, Sherlock Holmes and Batman Begins were shot. Good job, Castor. I still kind of hate you though.

Posted in COMMENT with tags Batman, Comics, Movies, Spider-Man, Superheroes, The Dark Knight Rises, X-Men on January 24, 2011 by Ross McGBatman, Spider-Man and the X-Men have met their match. The internet. Remember when movies used to come out and you used to just go and watch them? Then you weren’t born any time after 1988. Has the internet sucked all the love out of movie-going?
