In defence of… Ashton Kutcher

Posted on November 14, 2011 by OGR

I don’t like Ashton Kutcher one little bit. I say this knowing full well it is based upon precious little aside from what I have seen and read about about him over the past several years. After all; I HAVE … Continue reading →

In Defence of… Eddie Murphy

Posted on November 5, 2011 by OGR

The last few ‘defendants’ in this space have all had practically as many protectors as detractors, Jason Statham, Johnny Depp and even Charlie Sheen all have numerous die hard supporters regardless of the number of potshots taken at them. The … Continue reading →

In Defence of… Uwe Boll

Posted on October 6, 2011 by OGR

A few months back I was accused of defending a man with no need of defense, one Mr Johnny Depp. Then shortly afterward I singlehandedly revived Eddie Murphy’s career with an article so fresh, thoughtful and persuasive, I hadn’t even … Continue reading →

‘Classic Horror’ vs ‘Modern Horrifying’.

Posted on August 6, 2011 by OGR

I recognise that it must’ve started a lot earlier than this but for the sake of convenience I will start with the film Marathon Man and the infamous ‘Nazi dentist’ scene, in which the aforementioned goes to town on Dustin … Continue reading →

Why buy the DVD when you get the movie-milk for free (or at least a lot less)?

Posted on June 4, 2011 by OGR

I own 500 odd albums on CD and maybe another 200 singles and EPs. I also own say 200 movies on DVD or Blu-Ray, with another 50 odd assorted TV series, music DVDs and sports DVDs lying about. These have … Continue reading →

Horror is dying… GIVE ME MY GENRE BACK!!!

Posted on April 2, 2011 by OGR

I blame Wes Craven. It took one of the pioneers of modern horror to push the genre into the mainstream, and inadvertently away from the devoted fans who kept it alive and flourishing for so many barren box-office decades – … Continue reading →

In defence of… Charlie Sheen

Posted on March 9, 2011 by OGR

Charlie Sheen cares not for you. He probably doesn’t hate you… Doesn’t have the energy. It’s just that unless you satisfy his criteria to justify the title of “goddess” (my guess: 5ft 9, silicon infused, a vacant expression – and … Continue reading →

In Defence of… Jason Statham

Posted on March 5, 2011 by OGR

Some random quotes from the imdb thread entitled “How does Jason Statham keep getting work?: “Seriously, he’s awful, he’s in my raccoon wounds.” “Terrible actor. Worst ever? You bet.”’ “His films are works of pure garbage.” “My husband watches his … Continue reading →

The definitive Vampires Vs Zombies discussion

Posted on January 1, 2011 by OGR

Monster crossovers are nothing new, you’ve only got to look at the Underworld collection of mediocrity – only marginally bailed out by Kate Beckinsale in skintight leather – to see Vampires get it on with Werewolves. Slightly less monster-y are … Continue reading →

The Case for B-Movies

Posted on October 9, 2010 by OGR

Last month I realised that I had so many reviews backed up for shitty films that I momentarily stepped back and wondered if I had been deliberately watching bad movies – something I have sworn not to bother with. After … Continue reading →
