This was a tweet earlier, and so many questions and issues meant it was impossible to convey details in 140 letters, so onto longform we go - I will keep it tight though!
Donald Trump, up until this week he meant almost nothing to me, a man almost a parody of what a billionaire should be. Refusing to accept baldness, a plane with his name down the side, possibly the worst interior design taste ever - if you are ever in New York go to Trump Towers and try not to laugh, it is impossible. So for me, and I guess a lot of the UK, he was just a sideshow, nothing to do with us and just odd appearances on TV, with his hair.
This week changed my view of him a lot.
In reverse order, today he released this video and statement on facebook.
Apart from obviously being filmed inside incase of wind on his hair, at first glance this is a funny mad old rich man, like Monty Burns from The Simpsons, with too much time on his hands. At second glance this is a horrible, threatening video demand from a bully. The clear implication being that if Obama does not do what he says then he wants all US citizens to die from AIDS and Cancer. If he had a mask on that would be a terrorist threat, the gold door to his office would be getting kicked of its hinges by now by a SWAT team. He plays the Boris Johnson card, looking and acting a bit of a buffoon, but actually being a right bastard bully who knows exactly what he is doing, and exactly where the line is. Carefull not to cross it, but like the worst kind of politician making it clear that the rest of us should.
On its own this is annoying, funny and a little sad, but something earlier this week made this hit me a little harder, and is part of his character that should be seen more. I was pointed, by many but especially @erb66 to a film that was shown on BBC about Trumps plan and building of a golf resort in Scotland.
Now phrased like that it sounds like the worst film ever, why would you give up 90 minutes of your life to watch a film about a rich man building a playground for him and his mates. But the film "you've been trumped" is so much more than that. With obvious political corruption from the off, this is the story of a very rich man who knows he is above the law, and acts like it, continually. It is hard without detailing almost every scene of this film to express the anger and rage that people feel when watching it. All the people I know who have seen it have said they physically shook at some scenes, and were open mouthed at others. This is not the buffoon side of him, this is the side that gets what he wants. The crimes committed and sanctioned by the police and Scottish Politicians in this film are amazing, no wonder they chose not to be officially interviewed for it.
From personal abuse to physical, threats to actions this film is a must watch, the trailer is here.
It is stunning that any part of this was allowed to happen. The best / worst bits of the film are Trump talking in America, seeming to forget we have TV here in the UK, where he makes it very clear what he thinks of the locals in Scotland.
Watch it, you won't be sorry.


Marvel fan-favorite Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) ended his journey when he made the ultimate sacrifice to defeat Thanos (Josh Brolin) in Avengers: Endgame. Despite his death, Marvel fans were hopeful that he will be brought by the studio back into a future movie, likely via the multiverse or even some kind of flashback.

Larry King is still in talks to land himself an exclusive on the upcoming Gotti movie. The chat-show king met with John Gotti Jr. in New York this week, sources tell Page Six, to discuss a TV special tied into Fiore Films' "Gotti: In the Shadow of My Father." King hopes to interview Gotti Jr. and the cast, which includes John Travolta, Lindsay Lohan -- who will be playing Kim Gotti -- Ben Foster (Gotti Jr.) and Joe Pesci. Representatives for King didn't get back to us, while a spokesman for the movie, which is to be shot in New York for release at the end of next year, told us that despite rumors, "He [King] does not have a cameo role in the movie."

The bosses are arrested and put on trial; aware that they will not escape conviction, they plan to eliminate anyone involved in the scheme to prevent them from testifying.
Among those killed are three casino executives, Teamsters head Andy Stone, and money courier John Nance. Ginger travels to Los Angeles and ultimately dies of a drug overdose in a motel.
Sam himself is almost killed by a car bomb and suspects Nicky was behind it. With the Mob now out of power, the old casinos are purchased by big corporations and demolished.
The corporations build new and gaudier attractions, which Sam laments are not the same as when the Mafia was in control. Sam subsequently retires to San Diego and continues to live as a sports handicapper for the Mob, in his own words, ending up "right back where I started".
The research for Casino began when screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi read a report from the Las Vegas Sun about a domestic argument between Frank "Lefty" Rosenthal , a casino figure, and his wife Geri McGee , a former topless dancer.
Argent was owned by Allen Glick, but the casino was believed to be controlled by various organized crime families from the Midwest. This skimming operation, when uncovered by the FBI, was the largest ever exposed.

Much of the original fanfare surrounding the release of the documentary film “Saving Brinton” is dying down and the main subjects are moving on to other projects, but have one more appearence left to complete on Thursday.
Mike Zahs, the subject of the 2017 documentary film that has been shown worldwide and was in the running for an Oscar this year, said he and two of the filmmakers would host the film during the Iowa Public Television membership drive at 8:30 p.m., Thursday, March 7. National Public Television began showing the film in a variety of cuts earlier this year and Zahs believes it has been shown in every state.
“They will show the film and there will be breaks,” he said. “(Filmmakers) Andrew Sherburne, John Richard and I will be there during those breaks live. It seems logical to me because it is an Iowa film and an Iowa station. It seems like a perfect match to promote Iowa.”
He explained the public station is offering a DVD of the film to people who join “Friends of Iowa Public Television” at a certain rate.
Zahs said a few showings are scheduled for Des Moines and the team has received inquiries to show the film in Spain as well as at the University of Southern California. Recently Zahs spoke with someone who had watched the film on Florida Public Televsion. He commented the movie still is going strong.
The documentary film shows the story of Zahs, a former Washington Middle School history teacher described by the filmmakers as “an eccentric Iowa collector” who uncovers a series of antique films in the basement of a local resident, finding them to be the works of Frank Brinton who began shooting the films as early as 1879.
Zahs may have traveled the world to show the film and speak with viewers, but his favorite stories of the film always land close to home. He recalled recently he was teaching in the Mid-Prairie School District and he learned of a fourth-grade boy in one of the classes who had a passion for local history. On viewing the movie, the boy found himself in one of the shots.
The story had actually begun over 100 years ago when Washington residents Frank and Indiana Brinton traveled to local theaters, sharing the new invention of film with the public. Several of the films were discovered in 1981 in the basement of Indiana Brinton’s executor and were given to Zahs. The documentary chronicles Zahs’ quest to preserve the films and to give them a modern audience.
People seeing the 87-minute documentary can expect to see both the story of the Frank Brinton films and the story of Washington County. There are plenty of community shots from the last four years, including such things as Washingtons 175th anniversary celebration, the unveiling of the new marquee at the State Theatre, and the celebration where the State Theatre was named the longest continually running theater by Guinness.
Zahs commented he is helping Richard with one of his future projects regarding a pioneering group at the University of Iowa called the Iowa mountaineers. He said people from Washington County may be involved.


Claire Denis and I own the same pants. (Owning the same pants as your hero almost but not quite feels like an achievement.) I learned this yesterday at a screening of Denis’s new film, Bastards. She was in town, wearing my pants, for TIFF’s retrospective of her work, “Objects of Desire: The Cinema of Claire Denis,” and introduced the movie in person. Bastards is Denis’s take on noir, and it is bleak, unconventional and difficult (all attributes of a movie worth your time). I’m still digesting it—especially the final scene.
I also attended a screening of one of my favourites, Beau Travail,1 which features one of the most arresting dance scenes—maybe one of the greatest endings?—in any movie. The retrospective is on until November 10, so there’s still time to catch White Material, L’intrus, and a few others on the big screen.
I love you, Denis Lavant. ↩


My husband and I both loved the Swedish vampire film "Let the Right One In," so that seemed like the perfect inspiration for a valentine for him this year. The movie is visually gorgeous with Swedish winter scenes in grays, blacks and whites, and always a little splash of red added. I used soft graffiti fabric that I made, old found fabric, and red velvet bits. It is backed in a luscious black velvet. I am very fortunate to be married to a man who does not think I need to be locked up when I give him something like this.

Watching the preview of ZONE 222, a new comedy series from the stable of Native Media outfit during their Press Conference anchored by Femi Johnson just held recently at Savoy Suite GRA Ikeja is very appealing as this new comedy in town is not only hilarious but educative and informative as well. The comedy which features actors like Kunle Bamtefa as Prof Bos, Tomiwa Kukoyi as Jambito, Papa Sam as Haji Kay, Jaiyeola Muyiwa as Prof, Anthony Igwe as Imported, Vannesa Ogboru as Josephine, Eden Attai as Fatimah and Patrick Diabuah as Fredo. The characters in this production are well coordinated by the director of production in the person of Rogers Ofime who did a lot of excellent work on gesticulation, characterization and good directing. And it is obvious from the excellent directorial approach given to the production by Rogers Ofime that he is from the theatrical background.
ZONE 222 is a comedy series that depicts characters of all sorts on our various university campuses across the country and it is a much watch production for all and sundry.
ZONE 222 soap series were all shot at the University of Ife campus and its environs. Kudos must be given to both the cast and crew of this wonderful project for having done a very good job with the supervision of their director Rogers Ofime.
The production was adapted for television from a book entitled "Love Is Blind" written by Mufu Onifade. This play has been staged severally for NANTAP Arts week and for the university students on our various campuses.
Serializing this book for television is a very good move in the right direction as the audience will not only laugh but will be informed and educated as well. All the characters involved in this project have done justice to their given roles as they have interpreted them very well in terms of characterization.
ZONE 222 will be premiered on the 1st of June 2016 on Africa Magic Urban Channel 153 on DSTV. It will be aired from Monday to Friday at 8:30 pm with the repeat broadcast at 9:30 am local time. While the international time is at 21:30 CAT on the same channel with repeat broadcast at 10:30 CAT.
NATIVE MEDIA has produced other wonderful projects for television in the past which are still currently showing on DSTV. According to Eric Ossai who is the series producer for the company and also for this project, they have done other projects like The Johnsons, ToronGiwa, Hotel Majestic, Hush and this new baby called ZONE 222.
From my own assessment, this project will go very far because of its potentials of educating, informing and making its audience to laugh. The goal behind any comedy is to make its audience laugh which ZONE 222 has already met. Pretty soon, the characters in this production will soon become household names because of the quality of this production.
Conclusively, my thump up for the cast and crew of this wonderful project as I say more grease to your elbows and more feathers to your caps.


Ben Stiller will be honoured for his contribution to Hollywood at a lavish film ceremony, reports IMDB.
The Tropic Thunder star has been selected as this year’s honouree for the Museum of the Moving Image’s 24th annual black-tie salute.
Stiller’s colleagues are expected to pay tribute to the star and present clips from his film career.
The event, which benefits education programmes, will take place on 12 November in New York.
Momi director Rochelle Slovin says, “Ben Stiller is one of the great talents of American entertainment: a memorable actor, an accomplished director and writer, an Emmy Award winner and an innovative producer.”
Last year’s recipient of the honour was Tom Cruise. Previous recipients have included Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman.


“No Letters Behind Bars,” the short documentary about the postcard-only policy, will be part of Youth CineMedia’s lineup at the SB International Film Festival. This year’s slot at the Lobero Theater in downtown Santa Barbara is on Sunday, February 9th, 11am-2pm. The event is free. This documentary, starring Right to Write lead organizer Marissa Garcia and made by YCM focuses on the effect of this policy on her relationship with her husband in the SB County Jail. “Having the opportunity to film at the Santa Barbara County Jail, and to share how this mail ban personally effects me was bittersweet. What’s important is that we are not forgotten,” said Marissa. Youth CineMedia is a formerly-Santa Barbara based media group that creates social justice-oriented short documentaries; they have a three-hour slot at the film festival to showcase both their new docs and a retrospective of the work they’ve done in the past 10 years.
We hope to see all of our supporters there! All of the documentaries look great (I’m really excited for “Hideous Hair” myself). You can see the line-up and get directions at their Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/713080125391571/


'Bring It On' Star Gabrielle Union had Replica Clovers Uniform Made
Chances are if you were ever a cheerleader, there is movie that totally defines your cheer life: Bring It On. Not many can argue that it was [and still is] anything short of an awesome movie. It pretty much sums up the cheerleading life even today: Cheer routines, romance, funny, quotable moments that nearly every cheerleader uses in real life and of course the first choice in any cheer sleepover.
Union is now the star in Being Mary Jane and recently married famed NBA player Dwyane Wade. It’s great to hear that one of her earliest movie roles as Isis, the captain of the Compton High School Clovers, still holds a special place in her heart.
In a recent interview with Us Magazine, she revealed that she had her own copy of her famous Clovers uniform made just because she loves the movie so much.
“I had a replica made. Just for fun… or not. We would always be all together… Toros, Clovers. We had a lot of fun, and we continue to have a lot of fun together whenever we’re all together. It’s a movie and a gift and a friendship that keeps on giving.” – Gabrielle Union
Can you believe that The Bring It On movie was released over 14 years ago? It’s hard to believe that next summer will mark 15 years since its release date on August 22, 2000.
Can we score a Bring It On reunion? If it means bringing the cast together for a new movie, we’d support it! Maybe Union’s Isis and Kirsten Dunst’s Torrance as star as grown up cheer coaches who meet again when their teams compete against each other? Of course, Jesse Bradford and Eliza Dushku will have to make a return as well.
Here’s a look back at the Nationals scene from 2000:

As promised, here is my new acting showreel, filmed and edited by fellow actor and East 15 student Scott Lyons. We filmed at East 15 Acting School and in Epping Forest early one evening, where I provided a veritable feast for a horde of midges. Take it from me: do not go into the woods at twilight unless you are wearing extra strength bug repellent, or expect to be scratching for a good week afterwards.
Most of my actor training has been in theatre, although I have acted in two short films (I now have my own IMDB page). Looking back at the footage for my new showreel, there are a few habits I would like to work on, particularly the weird things I do with my face. On stage an expressive face is useful, but on camera they often say less is more, and in this case that is definitely true! There’s a lot of my face showing the audience that I’m thinking, rather than just thinking and letting the camera pick this up. As ever, practice makes perfect, so the more experience I can get on camera, the better!
In the digital age, every emerging actor needs a showreel. Back in the day, if you wanted to get an agent you had to invite them to come see you in the flesh, acting in a play, but these days we have the internet at our fingertips. With agents’ and casting directors’ days getting even busier, they are just as likely, if not more, to click on a link on Spotlight to view your showreel, than trek out to whatever tiny theatre space above a pub you’ve saved up your meagre earnings to hire. This is not me dissing such venues – they’re the bread and butter of what we do and some of the most innovative and inspiring theatre I’ve seen has been in a black studio space above a bustling pub – but many agents just won’t travel that far from where they’re based unless they have an inkling it’s going to be worth their while. Which is where the showreel comes in….
This is our chance to give a taster of our talents, to hook the agent, pique their attention, and basically show them we can act. With this in mind, at drama school last term we were encouraged to put together our own short showreels and upload them to our Spotlight profile. Choosing the right material to film proved perhaps the biggest challenge – something not too emotionally heightened, outlandish or risqué – and then there was the task of trying to choose a location that worked well both for the action and on film, getting the lighting and sound levels right, and making sure we didn’t film over anybody else’s clips! It was a fantastic learning experience, and after a spot of editing training we all gave it a go.
I downloaded a free 30-day trial of Final Cut Pro so I could edit at my own leisure, but I have to say trying to edit footage on an 11-inch Macbook Air screen was not the easiest of tasks! You can watch the final edit below. Although it will suffice for the moment, I will be re-doing the showreel before our industry showcase in September. I don’t feel I did my best acting at all as I was still getting used to working in front of the camera rather than on stage (everything has to be brought down a few notches, and you certainly cannot lie to the camera!). The two clips also don’t show enough variety as they are rather similar, and in hindsight, they’re probably not the best scenes for my casting. So please be gentle! I’ll be posting the new and improved showreel on here later this year, so watch this space! Meanwhile, enjoy (yes, that is my best grumpy face to kick us off)…

Your Story Agency will help screenwriters develop the basic concept and outline their story. Once the basic story structure is developed, an experienced Story Agency will provide consulting and creative direction to ensure that the movie script is written according to marketable standards.
Your Story Agency
Consultations with a Story Consultant. Your Story Consultant will assist you in the creation and development of the script, and offer invaluable advice concerning plot structure, characterization, dialogue, story line, and themes. A Story Consultant will also determine if you are writing to marketable standards or if you should go back and polish your story. A screenplay ghostwriter can also suggest developmental avenues you may not have thought of. Corporate Video Production
Professional Consulting. The next step is to engage a professional screenplay ghostwriter to help you flesh out your story and develop the appropriate plot structure. With a thorough and in-depth analysis of your story, a top-notch story consultant will help you craft an effective and interesting ending. He/she will also help you outline your story and build your characters and subplots.
Screenplay Ghostwriter. When you hire a screenwriter to collaborate with you on writing the screenplay, you are creating a joint venture – a long-term relationship in which you both share in the profits. You will both be working together on the screenplay, and you will share royalties based on the overall sales of your movie. In addition to sharing in the profits, you can use your story consultant as a marketing tool. A professional screenwriter will be able to give your project a sense of direction and use creative marketing methods to promote the project.
Storyboard Artist. You will also need to create a storyboard to help plan the progression of your film, as well as a storyboard artist to draw all the pictures and outlines for your movie’s characters, locations, and other key elements. Both services can be provided by a professional screenplay ghostwriter or consulting agency. Both services can help move your story towards completion.
Deleted scenes and alternate endings. Depending on how extensive your research, you may discover that you need to trim some scenes or even include an ending you had not originally planned. A good story consultant will be able to work with you to determine the best way to incorporate these deleted scenes. Once you have decided where and how these scenes should be placed in your film, a storyboard artist will draw these scenes and help you place them within your film.
Storyboard and Conceptualization. The final stage of this process will be to collaborate with your storyboard artist and a studio visual Development producer. You will jointly identify a vision for your film, which will guide the conceptualization of the film. The producer will work with a writer or screenplay ghostwriter to write the screenplay, while the designer will conceptualize and create the images needed to flesh out the final film. The two of you will then need to work together to map out your movie’s timeline, budget, and location possibilities.
Creating the Team. When you hire an agency, your story consultant, and studio, you will put your film in the capable hands of experienced professionals. A talented screenwriter or storyboard artist can bring your film to life, but you are ultimately in control of who makes the decisions for your film. As a screenwriter or storyboard artist, you have to know your characters, locations, and other important aspects of your story to best create the film you want. Hiring a company that can provide you with the creative team necessary to bring your idea to life can give you confidence that your story is in capable hands.


Welcome to the first instalment of Horror Hammer. Within this section of the blog, I plan on reviewing the horror films that I will inevitably be watching between games.
I don’t assume to be anything special with regards to films, but I do know what I like; don’t we all?!
Last week, I went to see an old friend. Between our discussions of Anime, Video Games and books, we got onto the subject of films. Horror films became the topic of discussion after a brief interlude discussing Bob Chipman’s Schlocktober. This continued onto some of our favourite films and my friend stated his adoration of The Cabin In The Woods. Upon telling him that I hadn’t seen it, his mouth hit the floor and I found a copy of the film whirling through the air, speeding towards me.
After getting home, I left it on the side for a couple of days…
“Surely it isn’t going to be *that* good…” I thought to myself. How wrong I was…?
It is kinda hard to write about this film without spoilers, so I am gonna state it now…
I WILL BE SPOILING THIS FILM. IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY IT AS INTENDED, STOP READING NOW!
Genuinely, if you want to watch this film, go and watch it. It is absolutely fantastic!
“Five friends go to a remote cabin in the woods. Bad things happen. If you think you know this story, think again.”
That is the blurb on the DVD case. It is then followed by a number of actors and writers, including Joss Whedon. [For all you fanboys and fangirls!]
I threw the disc into my Xbox and started up the film. After a number of trailers, the DVD menu comes up. As much as I like interactive menus that are in keeping with the film, having one that directly links to the twist of the whole film, was a little disheartening. I appreciate that the company probably think tat you won’t be buying the DVD, if you haven’t already seen the film, but that isn’t always the case. I can recall buying Sinister and the box art gave away the whole third act of the film! When I lend that film to people, I give them the disc in a card sleeve, just to retain some of the mystery.
I’m too kind, I know! Or maybe just a little over precious with the cinema experience!
The menu is a large, multi-screened computer terminal… Intrigued by it’s relevance? I got an idea of where this was heading, immediately…
Regardless, I set the film in motion. Fortunately, I was very surprised to find that the film opens in a some sort of laboratory/testing facility with a pair of scientists engaged in water-cooler banter. You get some conversation about inane chit chat before a couple of seeds are sown regarding “a big test,””some subjects” and “the importance of tonight’s experiment.”
Just as you are starting to get into this expositio… BAM! SAM RAIMI TITLE SCREEN JUMP SCARE!
“Classic,” I chortle to myself as I wiped poop from my previously clean pants…
Anyway, this is where the films starts throwing tropes our way. Ragtag group of teens featuring a range of characteristics and visuals. They all discuss the merits and downfalls of university-based backstory before heading out to a house in the country.
All fair game.
Then, as they are driving off down the road, a mysterious figure on the roof radios in about birds leaving the nest. All very cryptic, but you should start to realise that this is far from a conventional, teen-horror film.
The story progresses and the students meet a peculiar petrol-station owner who tells the students that their journey will end in tragedy. This guy is dismissed as a loon and they reach the country house… The Cabin In The Woods that the title alludes to. Obviously, no-one in their right mind would stay there, but this is a film so that is all ignored. As the students are discovering some weird features of the house, the scientists are discussing bets and pheromone levels in the house. this is where you first realise that the scientists are controlling the student’s fate… Trippy, huh?
More student shenanigans unfold as the cast decide that getting drunk will pay off. Whether this is student protocol or induced by pheromones released by the scientists is up to you. I think it is likely half and half. =P
Things continue and everyone ends up in the cellar. This is where things start to get going, full stride. The room is decorated with ornaments of all sizes, shapes and origins…
Meanwhile, the scientists are taking bets on different monsters…
Everything comes to a head and a diary featuring torture methods and ancient writings is picked up.
Big reveal : Items in cellar is linked to monster. Monster kills all students, ergo students decide own fate. Woah!
From this point, the students each meet their own demise in cliched means, with a couple of minor details changed. My favourite design choice was easily a broken bear-trap on the end of a chain, used to catch fleeing students and drag them back, kicking and screaming. Sweet as fuuuuuuuck. ^^
As students are picked off, the scientists seem to be triggering intricate systems that mark off people in a ritual. As later evidenced, the students are linked to character tropes in an ancient ritual to appease “The Old Ones.” Drug user is “The Fool;” Blonde bimbo is “The Whore;” and so on. This all ties up at the end, honest.
Four students dead and it is revealed that it doesn’t matter if “The Virgin” lives or dies, just as long as she is the last to meet her fate. All the scientists start celebrating the success of their labours when rumblings start occurring from below and a phonecall from the mysterious “Director” is received. Apparently something has gone wrong.
Turns out that “The Fool” wasn’t so foolish. His drugs had blocked the effects of the pheromones and personality altering effects and he has managed to survive an attack. He saves the virgin from her encroaching doom and they end up in the grave that the monsters crawled out of.
After fiddling around in the grave, it turns out to be an elevator. The two remaining students seem to be sussing this situation out and realise that it has to lead somewhere. That, and the alternative is going back into the woods to meet up with “Zombie Redneck Ritual Torture Family…”
As they descend into the facility, the film’s budget comes into perspective. It turns out that all monsters were at the facility’s command. All manner of monsters have been collected in one facility, purely kept to appease these “Old Ones.” This part of the film is truly awesome and leads into an unbelievable third act finale.
For whatever reason, security are sent to pick up the students and eliminate them. That doesn’t happen. Instead, the students release “The Army Of Nightmares” into the facility. It is a fantastic sequence and ends in utter bloodshed. The corridors are just red. [Similar to the third act of The Evil Dead ’13.]
Anyway, for whatever reason, the two remaining students end up in the ritual chamber, piece it all together and then SIGOURNEY-ALIEN SLAYER-WEAVER turns up?! My jaw-dropped! She totally steals the scene and then takes an axe to the head.
As the remaining students state, as the world starts to crumble around them, “It sure would have been cool to see ‘The Old Ones…'”
Boom, giant hand bursts from the centre of the Earth and the film ends.
My description doesn’t really do the film justice and I made sure to keep it as concise as possible, while maintaining the majority of story elements. This film does a lot of things right. It has multiple plot twists, so much foreshadowing and a great number of surprises, which I have ruined. =]
The casting is really good, the character you actually care about survives and deserves to, to be fair. The surprise casting of Sigourney Weaver is perfect and, the consistently missed role of Chris Hemsworth is really good. Thats that God guy from Thor. Although he was a bit wooden in his big screen debut, he is completely different in this film and rocks “The Jock” perfectly. These two actors really do steal the scenes they are in, as far as I’m concerned. The real shining performance in the film though has to be from Fran Kranz. He plays the oblivious, yet esoteric drug user with such fantastic flamboyance that you want him to survive, just so you can see where he ends up next. Obviously, this is all in part to Joss Whedon’s writing, and as much as I’m sick of everyone worshipping his bum-hole, he has done a very good job of writing believe dialogue throughout and does craft a fantastic group dynamic.
As mentioned, the budget was clearly saved for The Army Of Nightmares. These are just fantastic and range from giant snakes to creepy child ballerinas, murderous clowns to circular-saw wielding robots, Unicorns to Mermen! Everything that was even slightly hinted at earlier makes an appearance and many, many more. Perfection. You get to see a huge number of monster destroy numerous security forces and make a ruddy good mess of it all.
I’d say that this film doesn’t make much of an impact, but it really does. It genuinely achieves everything it stated on the back of the box. It really is “a mind blowing horror film that turns the genre inside out.”
I whole-heartedly endorse this film and implore you all to watch it immediately, after suffering a sudden head blow to forget everything prior. =D
Honestly, the next review will be a bit more scathing. Positive reviews are boring, right?
Horror Hammer is written by Ellie and her head-based compadres. They don’t claim to be a good critic, but they needs to write something somewhere, so why not here?
All pictures are sourced from the internet and Ellie neither claims to own them, nor wants to own them.


A few months ago, I received an email from Netflix with the information about a new Jurassic World animated series and the option to receive a screener of the season. Well, there was no way I was going to miss out on dinosaurs, so I eagerly said yes.

before we get to my top 5 reasons to watch, let’s check out the trailer!
Top 5 Reasons to Watch Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous
- the characters — diverse, delightful, and easy to root for and relate to
- the dinosaurs — I mean, does this need more of an explanation?
- the animation — it was so intricate, that I found myself watching the background and looking for the mini details that seemed to be in every scene
- Bumpy — Okay, she’s also a dinosaur, but I loved her so much that she definitely deserved her own point
- the ending — I was really surprised with how it ended and I’m wondering what it means
This series was so much fun and I know I’ll be watching it again.
Huge thanks to Netflix for providing the screener episodes. Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous releases September 18, 2020.
Will you be watching Camp Cretaceous? What’s your favorite dinosaur?

Galigali Galixon's scenes to be removed from new movie "Gintama" before its release in July
Comedian Galigali Galixon who was arrested for drink-driving, will have his scenes in the upcoming movie "Gintama" removed before the film is screened in cinemas from 14 July as announced by key investor TV Tokyo. The movie directed by Fukuda Yuichi and starring Oguri Shun, features Galixon in a small number of scenes. Following news of his arrest, meetings between the production committee members and distribution movie company Warner Brothers were held before a decision was made to exclude him from the movie with no change to the release date. Another actor will be chosen to play his role and the new scenes are to be inserted into the movie.


Ok. So we all have that one friend, don't we? That friend who, whenever you see them, makes you laugh til you cry? I've got a few of those, which is one reason life is so good.
So my friend, H, is one of these individuals. She knows me inside-out, it would seem. The creep. She reduces me to tears of all varieties. At least 5 days a week. Often more.
She comes out with the BEST questions. And, more importantly, she's totally unashamed of these queries. I love her. One day I'll find a pocket that she can live in so I can carry her around with me all the fucking time. But enough fawning.
One drunken Saturday night/Sunday morning, after living it up at our favourite haunt, we went to McDonald's. It was in time for breakfast, for fuck's sake. That's the kind of late night it was.
So we park up and start munching (the guy who drove us was stone-cold sober, so don't get all preachy-weachy. No drunk drivers here).
H: Guys. I have a question that's been bugging me all fucking night. People keep mentioning this person in jokes, and I've got no idea who the fuck he is.
Us: Go on...
H: Who the FUCK is Gandhi?
H: Yeah, I tried to Google him, but couldn't find shit-all about him. Who is he?
Us: How did you spell his name?
Us: (holding back laughter, poorly)
H: WHO IS HE?
Us: Why don't you tell us who YOU think he is?
H: Is he the president of Egypt?
Us: No. He's from India.
H: Isn't that near Egypt?
H: Is he a film director or something?
Us: No, but there's a biopic of him, honey.
H: What the fuck is a 'biopic'??
Us: A film about him.
H: Oh. So is he Arabian then?
Us: No, again, he was Indian.
H: Is he dead or something?
H: WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DEAD FOR?
Us: Google it tomorrow, sweetie.
H: Ok. Did he wear flip-flops? I bet he was cute.
Us: *uncontrollable laughter*
Just a snippet of life when H is involved. She asks these questions completely innocently.
It's fucking admirable. A lot of us take the knowledge that we've had ingrained in our minds for granted, so for her to question these things, well. I think we all need to be more like H.
Thank you for making life more enjoyable.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's film 'Jai Ho' has received mixed reactions at the box-office.
Its collection did not translate the hopes of the makers and it was nowhere near what Salman's other blockbusters saw after the release.
The response at the theatres and the collections garnered are not "matching up" and Salman is left confused.
Now he might have the answer.
Salman's entire 2hr 17 min 'Jai Ho' has been leaked online within just days of its theatrical release.
An Indian daily reports that a pirated print of the film, was uploaded on YouTube by a Dubai-based user on January 28.
The video had 1,08,151 views till the time it was taken off by the video-sharing site on Saturday night.
But later a better print of the film was put up on Sunday morning.
The pirated versions spread like wildfire throughout the weekend.
Emirates24|7 tried to get reaction from Salman and his manager but they remained silent on the matter.
YouTube officials also remained unavailable for comment.
Other Bollywood films in the past have also found their way on YouTube, but this seems to be the quickest such pirated leak so far.
'Jai Ho' could have garnered more cash had it not been leaked.
Directed by his brother Sohail Khan, 'Jai Ho' has managed to collect approximately Rs. 61 crore (INR) in the opening weekend of its release.
However, Salman believes that their effort at doing something different from their regular stuff might be a reason for people not thronging to the theatres.
The 48-year-old says that he is the only person to be blamed for any kind of debacle.

It’s the most wonderful time of the TV year… Christmas.
Finally, all of our favourite films are on within the space of a few days. And for once, we’re all at home to watch them. As fantastic as this is, it can be overwhelming. Personally, I like to make a list of all the films and TV shows that I’m planning to binge watch. One thing tends to make it to the top of my list…
The film that says its Christmas to me, that I’ve watched every year with my Dad for I don’t know how many years, is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. If you’ve never seen a National Lampoon’s Vacation film, this one is a good place to start. It’s not the first in the series, but it doesn’t take a genius to workout what’s happening; it’s a scenario we all recognise – the festive fun of all the family coming together at Christmas. When you’re the Griswolds this can only end badly.
I’m sure you have seen it, I mean it’s on every year. But if not, it’s on at 3 50pm on ITV 1 this Christmas Eve (British TV) and I recommend you make watching it a priority. Then, once you’re done watching that, watch all the other Vacation films. Including the brand new one (which is hilarious btw). Oh, and Elf. And the Santa Clause. And Holiday Inn.

I am a cinematographer working for narrative films, documentaries and commercials. In 2016, I was honoured to be one of the first two Quebec women admitted to the prestigious Canadian Society of Cinematographers.
After graduating from UQAM, I was invited to join the famous Budapest Cinematography Masterclass where I had the privilege to meet two great masters, Vilmos Zsigmond and John Schwartzman, which truly was a life-changing experience; I knew from then on that I would dedicate my life to cinematography.
After that, I honed my skills through practice and experimentation. I shot over 50 shorts and features like Le journal d’Aurélie Laflamme, Camion, L’ange gardien, Gurov and Anna and most recently Father and guns 2; many of which won local and international awards (Camion, Where I am, The Astronaut).
My television work includes whole seasons of Beaux Malaises, Et si?, Ruptures, and Les Simones. I also shot the extremely popular New Year’s Eve sketch comedies Bye bye in 2016 and 2017.
To me, cinematography is a way of approaching the world. I love to probe the depths of human psyche and explore new environments, which is well reflected in my documentary work. (J’m’en vas r’viendre, L’autisme au gré du vent, Fermières).
Some of the series I worked on, such as Who do you think you are, Tabous et Interdits and Le théâtre des opérations (which won Gémeaux Award for Best Documentary Cinematography) allowed me to travel the world, which inspired my work a lot.
Art itself is also a powerful source of inspiration for me. My passion for formal research influences me to play with colours, light and composition. Aesthetic is a powerful vehicle for emotion and is an important element of my photographic approach, as it can be felt in L’éducation nautique, awarded Best Canadian Experimental Short at the 2007 World Wide Short Film Festival.
These two poles – documentary and aesthetic – characterize my cinematographic approach. They complement and support, feed and develop one another; reality proving fertile ground for beauty, and exploration of formal elements being a incredible incubator for ideas.
Devoted to passing down my knowledge to the next generation of filmmakers, I also teach cinematography at UQAM and INIS, in Montreal.

SynopsisEvery day, there is a war being waged on America's inner city streets - a war between residents, drug dealers and the people sworn to protect one from the other. This war has its casualties, none greater than L.A.P.D. Detective Sergeant Alonzo I larris (DENZEL WASHINGTON), a 1 3-year veteran narcotics officer whose questionable methodology blurs the line between legality and cornlption. His optimism has long since been chipped away by his tour of duty in the streets, where fighting crime by the book can get you killed, and getting the job done often requires Alonzo and his colleagues to break the laws they are empowered to enforce.
A gritty, realistic drama set in the morally ambiguous world of undercover police investigation, «Training Day» shadows Alonzo as he tests the resolve of idealistic rookie Jake Hoyt (ETHAN HAWKE), who has one day and one day only to prove himself to his fiercely charismatic superior. Over the next 24 hours, Jake will be pulled deeper and deeper into the ethical mire of Alonzo's logic as both men put their lives and careers on the line to serve their conflicting notions of justice.

‘Macbeth’ with a TBT twist continues this weekend and next
All you have to do is read the description of “Macbeth” on Thunder Bay Theatre’s website to find out the twist of this Shakespearean classic. In TBT’s version, the lead is a woman. In fact, everyone leading this production is female, too.
“A brave Scottish general named Macbeth meets three prophesying Witches on her way home from battle. The Witches give Macbeth a glimpse into her future, and the promise of kingship. Spurred by her wife and wrapt with guilt and paranoia, Macbeth begins to fight for power in the only way she thinks will work: murder.”
Director Molly Stricker has thoroughly enjoyed working with her cast of 16. There were no hiccups in last weekend’s opening, despite the superstition or “magic” many believe goes hand-in-hand with the play whose name must not be spoken in the theater by anyone other than those involved in the production.
Stricker says the play itself is magical, and she is excited to be working with an all-female leadership crew.
“Having an entire team of females has been really cool,” Stricker said. “It was just amazing to see a story about women told by women.”
Along with Stricker, the production staff includes choreographers MaryKathryn Kopp and Desi Rodriguez, Associate Director, Production Manager and Sound Designer Tabitha Camp, Fight Director Quan “Sam” Sun, Scenic Designer Bridgid Burge, Costume Designer Eileen Thoma, Lighting Designer and Sound Consultant Chris Riley, Technical Director Jason Luther, and Lexie Lino on stage crew.
The cast includes Erica Werner as Macbeth, Thane of Glamis, Carey Blackburn as her wife, Lady Macbeth, Reed Horsley as Banquo, Adriana Helinski as Fleance, Banquo’s daughter, Emily Ahrens as First Witch, Desi Rodriguez as Second Witch, Sierra Glosson as Third Witch, Jacob Kerzner as Duncan, King of Scotland, Lucas Moquin as Malcolm, Duncan’s eldest son, Ely Irving as Donalbain, Duncan’s son, Stefon Funderburke as Macduff, Thane of Fife, Quan “Sam” Sun as Lennox, Jordan Hand as Ross, Kerzner as the Porter, Joey Lanier as Seyton, Austin Heath as Angus, and Kingsli Kraft as Gentlewoman.
“Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s last plays that he wrote, so it’s considered to be one of the more developed and better-written ones, so it’s very concise, which is great,” Stricker explained. “It moves pretty quickly. It’s not too long. It’s just over two hours, so it’s even shorter than a lot of other shows that we do here.”
She explained the plot, for those unfamiliar with the work of William Shakespeare.
In the Shakespearean original, Gen. Macbeth, on his way home from battle with his comrade, Banquo, encounters three witches who predict that he will become thane and then king, but he does not believe them. Right after the witches leave, a messenger from the king arrives to tell Macbeth he is to become thane. That spurs him on to confer with his wife about overtaking the throne, which he eventually does with her help. But then guilt, fear and paranoia set in, driving him into darkness and despair.
“He gets really scared and he starts thinking that he needs to kill everyone around him because he can’t trust anyone,” Stricker said. “Which is kind of true.”
So, the play remains true to the script, other than changing the pronouns to reflect the female lead.
“We didn’t change any of the titles,” Stricker said. “She’s still called ‘king,’ she’s still called ‘thane,’ she’s still called ‘lord,’ all of those things that are traditionally male-focused. So, by doing that, we created this, like, really interesting story about a woman who is trying to rise to power, and is fighting within the system that is working against her, and so she can never win, because the system wasn’t designed for her to win. Which I believe is an allegory for how we all exist, and what we all go through every day.”
So that’s the TBT twist.
“We’ve also added a lot of girl band pop music, as well as hip hop, and some 1950s and 60s girl band oldies, and we’ve added a lot of dance and movement to the show as well,” Stricker said.
There are dark themes, violence, and possibly a lesbian kiss. The content may not be suitable for children.
This is not going to be typical Shakespeare, so it should appeal to many audiences beyond just the theater buffs.
“If you’re not a Shakespeare person, this is the show for you,” said TBT Education Director Adrian Alexander. “It’s fascinating.”
The play runs through Nov. 17, at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $20 per adult, $12 per teen 13 to 17, and $8 per child 12 and younger. Call the box office at 989-354-2267. TBT is located at 400 N. 2nd Ave. in Alpena.

The production is sponsored by Family Enterprise Inc.

Astrid S Releases New Video for Single ‘Breathe’
March 21, 2017
Astrid S’ new music video for “Breathe,” her current single, was premiered today through Noisey. Following a vigilante couple as they travel through time, the video features impeccably curated fashion and set design, delivering a product that feels more like a short film than a music video. The video was produced and directed by Cherry Cobra, a duo based in Stockholm.


Now that The Bachelorette/Bachelor in Paradise is over, what ever will I watch?! Good thing fall TV is right around the corner….Here are some of my top picks for new shows I’m looking forward to as well as a couple of returning shows I’m excited to start again! In no particular order.
“A low-level Cabinet member becomes President of the United States after a catastrophic attack kills everyone above him in the Presidential line of succession.”
I LOVE political shows and this is such a cool concept, especially since it’s based on an actual policy. It’s one of the top-rated pilots of the season and I can’t wait to check it out!
“A period drama that picks up where the famous story of Romeo and Juliet leaves off, charting the treachery, palace intrigue, and ill-fated romances of the Montagues and Capulets in the wake of the young lovers’ tragic fate.”
Shakespeare + Shonda Rimes = YESSSSSSSS.
“A family comedy narrated by Katie, a strong-willed mother, raising her flawed family in a wealthy town filled with perfect wives and their perfect offspring.”
The trailer is really funny! This looks like a good light-hearted show for week nights.
I’ve seen all twelve seasons so far, so how could I back out now? This is the show I’ve watched longest and am most invested in. Like everyone else.
Shonda Rimes makes the best TV shows. This one just keeps getting more and more twisted and I love it.
It feels like this is a lesser-known, totally underrated show. It’s hilarious, and if you haven’t seen it, you should totally watch from the beginning!
What are your favorite TV shows? Is there anything new starting this year that you’re looking forward to? Let me know!


I was very sad to find out a couple weeks ago that Paul Newman had passed away. He was one of, if not, my favorite actors. A lot of that has to do with Grandpa. Paul Newman was Grandpa's all-time favorite. He compared every actor to him and every movie to one of his many classics. For years, Grandpa tried to convince me to watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (I think it was probably his favorite), but I wanted no part of it. My junior year in high school, I finally obliged and it spiraled from there. After that, I couldn't get enough of him, and once I got netflix, I put almost every Newman movie in my queue.
Grandpa would always tell me the story about when he took all the kids in the station wagon to the drive in to see Butch Cassidy. My mom even remembers it. I've had this idea for 6 or 8 years to try to rent out the drive-in theatre about 45 minutes from Clinton, and see if I could get them to show Butch Cassidy sometime when a bunch of us were home. Sadly, it never happened, and I think I'll regret that forever. Grandpa would have loved that.
I got Grandpa to watch Inside the Actor's Studio with me when Newman and Robert Redford (the other favorite actor of his) were on. We laughed, and joked once about how Grandpa's brother, my Uncle Don, reminded us of Newman and Grandpa reminded me of Robert Redford.
And to top it all off, the man makes the best salad dressing (parmesan garlic) and spaghetti sauce there is.
In honor of one of my favorite actors, and in tribute to some of Grandpa's favorite film moments, here are a couple of his best clips:
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid:
Okay, this isn't actually a Paul Newman clip, but it is one of my favorite Friends moments - probably because it's the convergence of my favorite actor and favorite TV show. The background is that it's the morning of Chandler and Monica's wedding, and Chandler is panicking and doesn't think that he can make marriage work. (Fast forward to 3:51)
