The Friday Night Post Pub Movie 2: Fast Five [2011] May 17, 2013 These days even movie reviews have sequels. As Fast and Furious 6 races into cinemas today it becomes baffling to the point of admiration that the franchise built of speed (and little else) has managed 5 sequels in 12 years. This week marked a rare and unusual event for me, not only did I venture [...]

Health and Safety Nightmares: Power Tool Abuse, Hollywood Style! May 15, 2013 Horror films have long been criticised as immoral, inspiring all manner of antisocial behaviour in their impressionable audiences.

Agent Coulson’s (Clark Gregg) elite group is made up of fellow agents [...]

Share Your Shame: Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief [2010] May 14, 2013 In keeping with the spirit of Share Your Shame, I’m going to start with a guilty confession.
