WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers My first introduction to Common was actually when he starred in Hells on Wheels back in 2011 so I had no idea that he was a rapper – along with the fact that rap music has never really been my thing. I haven’t finished the series but I would …
Pediophobia
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers This isn’t the first time I’ve said this, but this was genuinely a fear I had growing up. Especially as I had someone repeatedly buying porcelain dolls that just stared at me while I slept (getting shivers just thinking about it). I wanted to stay away from the Chuckys …
Gilgamesh AKA Ma Dong-Seok
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Fans of Korean cinema would have been aware of Ma Dong (Don Lee as he was credited for this film) prior to the release of The Eternals but, like the actual character of Gilgamesh, I had absolutely no idea who he was. However, I am not saying this as …
Japanese Horror
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’ll be honest, you can’t really write about international horror films and not have an article on Japanese horror. They have brought us Ju-On and Ringu – which are creepy on their own but the Americans thought the ideas were so good that they had to remake them. Mentioning …
101 Dalmatians 1961 vs 1996
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers As we all know, Disney have gone round making a whole bunch of their animations into live-action films. Well before they decided to do this in the 2010s with Lion King and so forth, they had already remade 101 Dalmatians back in the late 1990s. Obviously, this is one …
Singer to Actor: LL Cool J
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers OK, so technically LL Cool J was a rapper not a singer but I need to keep some consistency between my articles. I say this a lot but I genuinely wasn’t that into LL’s music growing up – apart from Control Myself which he performed with J.Lo. Last Holiday …
Thena AKA Angelina Jolie
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’m not going to be coy about this, I have been a massive fan of Angelina Jolie’s for a very long time! As I’ve said before, I had absolutely no idea who The Eternals were before watching the film but that didn’t mean I was any less excited about …
Based on True Stories – Serial Killers
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers Anyone who knows me will attest to the fact that I may have a mild obsession with serial killers, which probably all started when I learned about Jack the Ripper. Give me a true crime documentary on any of them, and I’m hooked. So, I thought it would be …
Miracle on 34th Street 1947 vs 1994
WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers So it’s that time of year already, and what better question to ask than – is Santa Claus real? Well, here are two films that ask this question in, for me anyway, very different ways. Rivalry and Reputation This, for me, is the biggest killer of the remake. …
Arachnophobia
WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I know I’ve referenced spiders in horror films previously when writing the Creepy Crawlies article – but there’s enough films that include them that it seemed to be worth writing them an article of their own. Not that I am in anyway comfortable with watching these films as I …
