I’m in kinda a bad mood. Then, I saw the trailer for the new Muppets film Green With Envy (click [here] for Facebook Fanpage) and my heart was filled with joy for exactly 1 minute 32. Then I felt sad. So you know what I did? I bloody well watched it again. I am so [...]

So I was lucky enough to get free tickets to TimeOut’s double-horror-bill Of Dracula and Theatre Of Blood last night. It began with Mark Gatiss and Robin Ince discussing their favourite horror films with the dude from TimeOut, which was quite cool but pretty much the only thing I took away from it is that [...]

I found this paper animation thanks to a fabulous post over at io9 (click [here] to read) and totally fell in love with it. I adore animation as it is, but the crudely stylized paper in this is just something that extra bit magical. I’ve never seen gore, or samurais for that matter, done so [...]

This short film is one of the most magically scary and simultaneously wonderful things I’ve seen in a while. Sex Ed Done by Lovecraft?!? I mean, really?? How the film-makers got the parents of these kids to agree to let them perform is beyond me. There’s a high chance they’re going to turn out to [...]

Let’s ignore the fact that remaking Akira as a live-action film is largely pointless, because actually, there are [...]

It was AnOther Magazine’s newsletter, click [here] for their site, and normally I skim these things for occasional gems and today something caught my eye. Betty Page was a fascinating character of whom tons has been written about without me sticking my oar in. If you [...]

I came across this just now and was really struck by it. It’s from a Russian film called ‘Mirror’ by Andrei Tartovsky. I’m not familiar with his work but, in quite an obvious way, it really reminded me of some David Lynch short films I watched recently. Those in turn are heavily influenced by the [...]

Please go and see this film. It’s quite simply magical. I really don’t want to spoil anything about it as I knew very little before seeing it last night and the way in which the entire film was presented was an utter delight. And to be honest, part of the delight came from it being [...]

OMG. I could so handle it. Coffee and pro-plus spiked cherry pie would just about see you through. It’d be like watching it on drugs. The delirum would get to you so hard after a while not only would you think you were *in* the red room you’d so like totally think Donna Hayward was [...]

And apparently I’m not the only one to think so. HK boutique Joyce recently (okay, I’m a little behind on this but y’know what, so what, I’m not a fashion blogger and I only just remembered about this) commissioned Rodarte to do four beautiful and unique dresses based on four of Maggie’s films: In The [...]
