Dir.: Jon Faverau Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Gwenyth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges and Terrence Howard The film that shot the Marvel Avengers pantheon into the Big Leagues. A lot of the film does rest on the ‘Just Go With It’ school of thought, but as this film proves, that only works if you are invested in … Continue reading

Dir.: Ang Lee Starring: Eric Bana, Jennifer Connelly, Sam Elliot and Nick Nolte I found this one to be a worthy addition to the wide and varied lore of Bruce/Hulk. It’s not what people were expecting, but it serves as a fine allegory for the power of human negativity and the redemption of a willing … Continue reading

Who is he? WHAT is he? What does he want? John Ryder isn’t so much a man, but an entity, a transient force of nihilism, despair and moral existentialism who literally appears out of nowhere to terrorise and question young Jim Halsey (C.Thomas Howell) in Robert Harmons’ The Hitcher. Overview Although The Hitcher is relatively obscure compared … Continue reading

SO. After the highly indulgent and poorly veiled worship of Col. Tavington, I decided to basically made a column devoted to the discussion and exploration of my favourite villains from film, television and literature because as you may well know, I adore my villains quite frankly, I can’t imagine an exciting fictional life without them. … Continue reading

Author: Stephen King Original Publisher: Grant So. Here we are. Below I share my thoughts on this novel (without spoilers, no fear), as well as my feeling about this quest I have just embarked on with King and the fruits of this gargantuan labor of love and how this has inspired me as an amateur … Continue reading

Author: Stephen King Original publisher: Grant Boooooooo-ee! Steve King went absolutely META in this one, baby. As I am loathe to divulge any crucial details in regards to the overall story of The Dark Tower series, I guess there is no subtle way of putting this one other than if King was gonna commit the … Continue reading

Before you ask, yes, this post truly is nothing more than an indulgent piece of my own making, but do you know what? Colonel William Tavington is one of the greatest villains to have ever hit the screen and even fifteen years later after the release of ‘The Patriot’, the character still remains one of … Continue reading

Original publisher: Grant Originally published: 1997 (Judgement Day!) Yyyyyyep, this is perhaps my personal favourite installment of The Dark Tower bar none. Although The Wastelands well and truly kicked the ball high, The Wizard And Glass kicks that baby high into the sky and makes it sail like a damned comet of awesomeness with a … Continue reading

Originally published: 1991 Original Publisher: Sphere Books Okay, NOW we are cooking with gas, sports fans! The third installment to ‘The Dark Tower‘ can confidently be called the book of which things really start to shake.

Dir. John McTiernan Starring: A bunch of manly men and a mean-arse ET. The hunt begins. I give a love-filled review of this action/science fiction horror classic. It’s big, it’s mean and it’s ready to rumble no matter what, just like the titular Hunter Who Makes Trophies Of Man. My rating is a very obvious … Continue reading
