[Bea’s Reviews] Big Trouble In Little China [1986]
“When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol’ Jack Burton always says at a time like that: ‘Have ya paid your dues, Jack?’ ‘Yessir, the check is in the mail.’ Continue reading

Bea’s Experience With ‘Star Wars’ – A personal opinion
Star Wars is important, you don’t need me of all people to tell you that, but rather than review and critique the series up to this point (and let’s face it, could I honestly add anything that hasn’t already been said about the movies?)

Author: Anne Rice Published: 1989 Publisher: Ballantine Books, USA This ain’t Karloff. This ain’t Lee. This ain’t Fraser. This is Anne Rice.

[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] An Open Letter To Creative Assembly RE: Predator game ideas! [by Bea Harper]
Alien Isolation rocked like nobody’s business last year with it’s tense atmosphere, intelligent AI, super immersive gameplay and overall experience of intensity. Creative Assembly, aligned with Sega delivered a fantastic experience as to what it would be like to be in Ridley Scotts’ retro-futuristic industrial nightmare and I feel it only makes logical sense of … Continue reading

Villainlicious: Emeric Belasco [Richard Mathesons’ Hell House] by Bea Harper
If I had to short-list a bunch of my favourite authors (bearing in mind the consistency and quality of their work) the late and dearly departed Richard Matheson would easily be in the Top Three. His tales have endured for just over half a century and still remain among the finest when it comes to … Continue reading
