Welcome to October, the month of scary movies! I’ve decided that, seeing as I’ve been given free reign over the Midweek Movie Mouth-Off (muahahaha!), we’re going to have a month of discussing all things Halloween. To start off, let’s talk about the first scary movie you ever saw. Now, depending on how old you were, the first scary movie you …
I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let …
David Fincher’s latest, Gone Girl, is just over a week away from release but its already cranking out some stellar buzz.

From the original 1970’s show to the new rebooted movies, the universe they created allowed me to hide from the boring one I live in right now. So the news that William Shatner has been approached by JJ Abrams and asked whether he would reprise his …
I’ve got a massive love for good ol’ Kung-Fu movies. But this romance with terrible sound effects and dubbing didn’t start with classic films such as Snake In The Eagle’s Shadow or Fist Of Legend. It started with Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. That movie was magical, and filled with more Kung-Fu than Michael Bay’s vision of China. That film is …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
