Everyone says that a sequel is never quite as good as the original and for a lot of franchises I would agree. But there are a growing number of sequels that are not only equalling but surpassing their predecessors. This week’s top five takes a look at those sequels. Unfortunately Speed 2 [...]

I love the Universal monster movies, I have always loved sitting up late in the night with a cup of hot coffee and watching the old black and white movies flickering. Whilst there aren’t a huge amount to choose from I thought I might lend my hand to ranking them in my personal preferences.

At the end of the day this is an impossible list.
To cut the field down from the calibre of artists that have drawn the Batman over the years is just something I’m not up to. I don’t know if anyone could, certainly not pleasing everyone (if anyone!).
These are five artists that I just love, [...]

A little morbid maybe but there is nothing like a cool movie death. I’m not talking about gory horror movie deaths either, there are way too many of those imaginative ends for me to condense into a list of five.
Now I know this is going to stir up some debate, so bring it, throw [...]

I think this is my favourite top five list so far because it gave me the chance to reminisce on what I think are absolute little comic book movie gems.
The Stan Lee cameo.
Forget anything else but above all Stan Lee is a living treasure/legend/icon. The man is responsible for some of the greatest comic [...]

Well it’s Friday for me and that means two things, I can sleep in tomorrow (but I won’t) and it’s time for the Friday top five.
Every once and a while I am reminded that it is show business, not show friends. Production companies are increasingly not your friend. They package stuff and tell [...]

Looking at our storage facility the other day was a little sobering when we realise how many of our boxes are dedicated to books and DVDs. Books certainly out number the DVDs, we could set up a small library and it makes our removalists miserable. But then I noticed how many boxes of [...]

With the passing of Stan Winston this week I think it only fitting that for the Friday Top Five we take a look at some of Stan Winston’s work:
The T-Rex - Ok, you watch a movie from the 90s and it has CGI whatever in it and you think to yourself man that CGI barely [...]

What else could the Friday five list be on a Friday the 13th? Obviously my top five horror movies, I will however point out that these aren’t the scariest movies. I don’t go into all that freaky deaky Ring and Grudge type of horror that the kids are all digging now days. [...]

This is the hardest list I think I’ve tried to put together, it’s personal, ever changing and way too crowded for a list of only five. But five songs it is. These are probably as close as I can reasonably get to a top five and I guarantee that tomorrow morning it will [...]
