One of the reasons things have been a bit quiet on here recently is because of our new business – a scuba diving school and shop. I’ve not really been reading much – in fact I managed to read only five books across May and June. July has been much better…
The Walking Dead
22 May 2012 by 2 Comments
It’s been a while since I read any graphic novels, my excitement over Runaways was tempered by the disappointment that was Buffy, Season 8 and I took a break for a while. The second season of The Walking Dead has just started…
Dark Shadows

I had the luxury of a little free time in the day and decided to take myself off to the local multiplex, it was the first dry day in ages so what else would I want to do? I was torn – did I go to see Avengers Assemble again or did I check out one of the new releases…

I’m not a big fan of horror films. I’m not averse to them, they just don’t scare me that much and I tend to get frustrated by the idiocy of the characters. That may be one of the reasons I enjoyed Scream so much – it had decent scares and knew that the victims were morons…

I’m keen for this website to be a two-way conversation between me and the people who read it, I also want to broaden my horizons a little so every now and again I ask for ideas for books and movies to review. It was on Twitter that Lost Souls by Poppy Z Brite was suggested…

Here we are – the last Bank Holiday Monday until Christmas. I’m sure there’s lots to do but I’m going to stick with the tradition of sitting watching movies…
Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?

Trashy, campy nonsense – loved it!
Given my love of all things camp and the amount of time I spend with men who regard Bette Davis as the ultimate icon it seems incredible that I’ve made it to 2011 without seeing What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? Thanks to a reader’s suggestion ….
