Here is a fun (hopefully) horror character filled romp for all the kids, and the kid in all the adults. Having so many old horror types, The Mummy, Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, (what was his name Not Herman!) and so on, reminded me of those old Abbott and Costello films, (no, not the Lib...

Hugh Grant would not have been my first choice for a pirate, unless, the pirate was a klutz! Grant brings to life the antithesis of the fearsome. Indeed, the Pirate Captain, as his character is known, is a rather unaccomplished type, whose most fervent desire is to be awarded the Pirate of th...

Written by Joe Cornish (co-wrote Adventures of Tintin) Attack the Block is his directorial debut. This sci-fi gives a brand new edge to the alien invasion story we have seen ever since the 1950s. However, before I get into that, I need to honour a job that I have largely ignored for a far too lo...

This film is by a relatively new kid on the director's block, that being William Brent-Bell, who has been in the industry for a long time as Production Manager and 2nd Unit Director. As for Brent-Bell's directorial work, the most recent film direction was for Stay Alive (2006), which was no...

So, here we go again, a total reboot of the Spiderman franchise, with a new "Spidey", played by Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. I really liked the old "Spidey" (my nickname, by the way) so I expect big things from the new arachnid-kid on the block! Co-starring Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors,...

DARK SHADOWS: fog's review with trailers

May 8th 2012 13:58

Back in the box!

I love Johnny Depp, love Helena Bonham-Carter, love Michelle Pfeiffer and I am a huge fan of Tim Burton; so, put all these great talents together, pour them into a large bloodied martini, encrusted with fangs, add a cameo from the doyen of horror, Christopher Lee and the doyen of the musical horror world, Alice Cooper, underscore it all with some great tracks of the seventies and one would think one is ready to be enormously entertained for the entire duration of this film’s lengthy 113 minutes...or so I would have thought

THE IRON LADY: fog's review

April 22nd 2012 18:15

Directed by Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia, Gloriana) this multi-award winning production brings Britain’s most notorious (or celebrated, depending on your political stance) Prime Minister of the 20th century, Margaret Thatcher, into sharp focus. Because Thatcher was so unyielding in her purview of how Britain should change, a film about her life, no matter how sensitively it is handled, will cause both sides of the political trough to bristle at some point, particularly British audiences
