Most days, I get told that I’m stuck in 1985, due to my habit of wearing AC/DC t-shirts and having a hair style based on the style of TJ Hooker, the flyest cop around. But I could easily have been a 70s guy. While the 60s were a rather pointless decade, the 70s was rad. Big muscle cars, awesome leather …

But once I got done being a sissy, I put together a list of directors who I thought could take over the reins. Danny Boyle …
While Sylvester Stallone’s latest musclebound movie may have knocked me out cold for all the wrong reasons, I am greatly looking forward to the third entry in his Expendables franchise. The second film was easily the most fun – that didn’t involve a green rage giant ragdolling a god – that I had in the cinema in 2012, and I can’t wait see …
