If Music Be The Food Of Love, Act On

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 …

Before They Were Marvel-ous Heroes

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 …

To Remake or Not To Remake

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. …

Extreme Fear Can Neither Fight Nor Fly

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 …

Before They Were Marvel-ous Heroes

Groot AKA Vin Diesel

WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I think this is the first character where Vin Diesel actually plays an out-and-out hero. Put it this way, Xander Cage = criminal, Richard B.Riddick = murderer and Fast and the Furious = not so clean cut either. I don’t know how many of you know this, but he …

If We Prequels Have Offended

Beginning with Bumblebee

WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers In order to watch this article, I watched Bumblebee for the first time, but I had to make myself suffer through Transformers for the second time. I put it this way because the film was just as bad as I remembered. Now, that’s not saying that Bumblebee was a …

To Remake or Not To Remake

Last House on the Left 1972 vs 2009

WARNING: This Review May Contain Spoilers So here we are again, the proof of a lack of imagination in the noughties film industry meaning that they decided to remake old horror films. Today’s victim is straight from the 1970s and the mind of one Wes Craven’s (not for the first time and, I’m sure, probably …

If Music Be The Food Of Love, Act On

Singer to Actor: Jamie Foxx

WARNING: This Article May Contain Spoilers I’ll be honest, I was never drawn to Jamie Foxx as a musician, especially as it seems he was only ever a featuring artist. The only song I think I even like of his was Gold Digger which is technically a Kanye West song (yes, Kanye West – I’m …
