Happy Halloween!

I hope you're all having a great Halloween. I'm not up to much (as per usual) but decided to see what scary films were available to buy at the local used DVD shop. Last year I watched the special edition of the Shining and had a brilliant time, especially with the sound turned up and the lights off!

My search quickly ended when I found 'Street Fighter' for just £2. Its not Sonny Chiba's film 'The Street Fighter' (which is great fun) nor the pretty awesome Manga... its the 1994 Van Damme version! It's truly 'shocking', but obviously not in a Halloween way, just in a "how did they get this so wrong?" way.


Raul Julia (who plays the evil warlord M.Bison) died before the film was finished. For a bit of fun, try to spot the scenes where they used a body double for him and shout out "ZOMBIE!".



As I'm on the subject of Street Fighter, here's a classic scene from Jackie Chan's film 'City Hunter'. Enjoy!

My 4 Tier Rating System

Ever since starting this site I wanted to have a rating system in place. Friends of mine will know I created a 4 tier rating system a few months ago using the Superman films as a reference.

Its really simple, if something is excellent you could say it's 'Superman - The Movie' or use any reference to that movie, such as specific character names i.e. Zod.

If something is really awful you could say its 'Superman 4' or 'Quest for Peace', Nuclear Man etc.

(you can figure out the bits in between for yourself!)

And that's the basis for the rating system. I've only chosen the Christopher Reeve films, the Brandon Routh one doesn't count.

Try it yourself. It can be applied to literally everything (not just movies) and I think it works really well!

Its finally here...

Its the first fricken EXPENDABLES trailer... woo hoo!!!
