Halloween used to be about setting off bangers and throwing eggs at people’s windows. But now it’s gone all commercial. Somewhere along the way, the true meaning of Halloween (humiliating someone by covering them in egg yolk) has been lost. Continue reading
James Bond… DER-DER-DER!! He’s the man, the man with the terrible movie titles! Skyfall. It doesn’t really mean anything does it? But then what does Tomorrow Never Dies mean? Or The Living Daylights? 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?

So with the battle between Obama and Romney in mind, here are the best vote-offs in movie history. Continue reading
Judge Dredd is back. He’s a good judge and all, but cannot fully devote himself to the role since he’s also employed as police officer, jury and executioner as well. Oh, and according to the man himself, ‘I am…. The Law!’ too. Will Karl Urban be able to deliver that line with the same gusto as Sly Stallone? More importantly, will he be able to deliver judgement as judgementally as these guys? Continue reading
We call them petrol stations here because you get petrol at them, but in the US they call them gas stations because you get gas at them. Or something. But who cares what they’re called when they can provide the fuel for a great movie. Here are some cinema gas stations worth filling up at. Continue reading
