Nerd Icon – David Warner

David Warner is one of my favourite actors. He has a refined yet intimidating voice which compliments his remarkable charisma. He has given his talents to many iconic TV and film franchises for over 50 years. You may not immediately know his name but his body of work is so immense and so diverse that […]

‘Starlight’ – Michael Jackson – Track Of The Day

When it comes to demos, Michael Jackson’s are the best. Recorded in his own home studio they are pretty close to being mastered tracks, with everything from drum techniques to backing vocals all mapped out. They still sound a bit rough but MJ’s perfectionism is still evident, even if it didn’t make the cut on […]

Kevin Feige Shares Thoughts On Blade’s MCU Future

Even though Blade is the reason the super hero movies of today exist, there is currently nothing in the works to bring him back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Wesley Snipes brought Marvel movies kicking and screaming into the cinemas with Blade and Blade II. The half human, half vampire paved the way for other Marvel […]

ReRead – Roald Dahl

If you haven’t gathered from one of my previous Rewind posts, I am a huge Roald Dahl fan. Recently I’ve been rereading my old favourites and rediscovering ones I don’t remember liking very much as a child. Two such titles are Danny the Champion of the World and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. While I […]

Pablo Belisaro Ochoa – Hitman (2000) – Boss Rush

IO Interactive’s Hitman series is infuriating. At times it reaches new highs of video game enjoyment and then gets dragged back down by nasty little flaws. The stealth sections are exquisite but the cheap AI and the occasional rubbish boss battle have plagued the entire franchise since day one. All these pros and cons can […]

Batman The Animated Series: The Riddler – Forgotten Childhood

Previously I reviewed an episode of Batman The Animated Series featuring Clayface a lesser known yet well loved Batman baddie. The shapeshifting nature of this villain made him very difficult to animate and as such he only appeared in three episodes. Today I’ll be looking at another, far more well known villain who was easy […]

‘Living Doll’ – Cliff Richard & The Young Ones – Track Of The Day

I don’t like charity singles. Raising money for a worthy cause is fine. It’s the songs themselves I can’t stand. They are either self-righteous, saccharine or both and they really get on my nerves. BBC’s Comic Relief campaign has had more than a few but the only one I enjoy listening to is their very […]

Lethal Weapon 4 (1998) – Screen Savers

When was the last time you saw a third sequel entitled “Movie Franchise 4”? These days they just drop the numbers and change the title. I’m not sure why this is but it seems to be a relic of the 80’s and really best left there. This is especially true with Lethal Weapon 4. Released […]

Barry Norman Made Me A Film Buff

“I always knew that nobody’s right and nobody’s wrong in criticism. The only thing I could do was to make sure that whatever I said was what I really believed.” By the time I was twelve I was a huge film fan. I had seen more movies than anyone else I knew. This was largely […]

‘Star Trekkin” – The Firm – Track of the Day

This week sees the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek. To honour this special occasion I shall be highlighting some of my favourite musical moments associated with this fascinating franchise. To round off this musical week, there really is no alternative. It’s that irritating and marvellous novelty song which burrows into your ear like those ceti […]
