Dracula (19/08/12) The ancient vampire Count Dracula arrives in England and begins to prey upon the virtuous young Mina Harker. A few months ago I sat down to watch the classic Frankenstein. Turns out Sky Movies were showing all three of Universal’s classic monster films. […]
Every year I set myself a target, usually of about 100, of films to watch. These are new films. Not new, new films. But films that are new to me. Any time I’ve seen a new one, I post a bit of a brain dump […]
Dead Snow (21/01/12) A ski vacation turns horrific for a group of medical students, as they find themselves confronted by an unimaginable menace: Nazi zombies. You have to know when you’re sitting down to watch a film about Nazi zombies, nothing can be taken too […]

Looking back to last year’s film watching challenge, I am way behind on my target of over 120 films watched in a year. This time last year I’d seen nearly 100 films already, and my target was only 100! Eep! If I have any chance […]
I’m on a roll! Or so it may seem. Final Destination 5 (19/08/11) Survivors of a suspension-bridge collapse learn there’s no way you can cheat Death. There are few films that, when you go to see them in the cinema, you get a round of […]
