  My wife is doing a run/walk for Cancer Research UK in May. It would be most generous and lovely of anyone reading this site to donate some money to sponsor her. As little or as much as you like!
  You can donate by going to to her sponsorship page….

  In tribute to one of the creative geniuses behind beloved british tv shows such as Bagpuss, The Clangers and Ivor the Engine, I post this enlightening article written by the great man in 2003 from his own website.

  Albums of the Year

  12.05.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  There’s been a lot of great albums released this year, so I thought I’d post what I think what were my favourites. I’ve not listened to every album released this year of course, so there are probably lots of great ones that have passed me by, but out of what I did hear these are [...]

  Some Thoughts On Licensed Video Games

  11.14.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Licensed video games rarely have an easy time in the gaming press. Rarely, if ever, do they rise above being “merely competent” or anything approaching a worthy artistic expression. This has long been the case and although there have been a few notable exceptions over the years (Goldeneye, The Chronicles of Riddick), licensed games continue [...]

  This was an intended response to an individual who took issue with the attitude of the contributers in the Batman-On-Film podcast. I think it serves its purpose as a standalone piece so I will include it here.

  Thank you indeed for your correspondence, it aids both my failing ego and my chance to appear as [...]

  Some thoughts on Withnail & I

  10.05.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  With the adaptation of Hunter Thompson’s The Rum Diary having suffered so many delays and still reportedly in pre-production, I felt it would be appropriate if I examined the best reason why an adaptation of a Thompson novel by Bruce Robinson is such an exciting prospect.
  Withnail & I is certainly the epitome of the cult [...]

  Why the re-birth of James Bond is a dishonest enterprise

  10.04.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  The release of Casino Royale in 2006 promised to be the re-imagining of James Bond that would allow the character to keep pace with The Bourne films. He was a more realistic individual; gone were the one liners, gadgets and outlandish plots, replaced with black and white flash backs and grimy toilet violence. Daniel Craig [...]
