Oh how my memory diminishes it. The Rage In Placid Lake was an admirably quirky little Australian comedy, while I watched it. Now, a few days later, I cannot help but attach phrases like: “low ambition”, “sketchily drawn” and […]

FLYING SAUCER ATTACK — PART 1 OF 2
The other day new fave bad movie site the Agony Booth published a detailed and hilarious vivisection of one of the most horrifically bad films I’ve ever seen, Overlords of the UFO. About fifteen years b[…]

Little Britain is the Boyzone
As is the way with list television, I stumbled into the 50 Best Sketches last night and got sucked in. Lord knows why, it was an intensely irritating programme. Comedians sitting around, discussing why a sketch is funny […]

England vs. Azerbaijan: The usual coverage. An absurdly one-sided game, finishing 2-0. Pundits claim it’s the highest chance to goals ration for one team ever. We won, and I don’t care too much ab[…]

The new big thing is films made completely in computer, actors existing at best on green screen. It was used in Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow, the upcoming Sin City and in super-bore Japanese yawn-fest Casshern.
