Hot Stuff!

Gladiators is coming back to the UK and here's a great excuse to watch it!


Giggidy!

24 year old Jemma Palmer, stage name 'Inferno' and has been compared to Angelina Jolie's portrayal of Lara Croft (from Tomb Raider films) for at least a couple of good reasons (catch my drift?).

The show will be shown exclusively on Sky One, dang it!

Son of Rambow (2007)


'Son of Rambow' is a lovely British comedy, set in the early eighties that pays homage to the original Sylvester Stallone Rambo film, First Blood.

*** SPOILERS ***
The basis of the film is built around the friendship between two very different characters. Will, a member of a very strange religious cult and Carter, the generic schoolboy misfit who causes trouble wherever he goes and has a thing for video piracy.

Will lives a very sheltered life due to his family's religious beliefs, having spent all his young life not seeing a single film or watching TV. He spends most of his time escaping through his sketch book. Carter manages to persuade the innocent and naive Will into bunking off school and takes him back to his strange house (which is on the same site as an old peoples home). Whilst there Will is left on his own when hiding from Carter's older brother, all alone with a dodgy copy of 'First Blood' playing in the background.

First Blood being the only film he's ever watched has a huge impact that totally changes his perception of the world. Will adopts the Rambo persona after having a crazy yet brilliant semi animated dream sequence, spawning new and exiting ideas to be scribbled in his sketch book.



The two friends start making their own film called 'Son of Rambow' using Will's excellent drawings for the storyboard and Carters video camera with brilliant and hilarious results.

*** SPOILER END ***

Its a really lovely story and the cast of kids are superb. I highly recommend it.

P.S; Look out for veteran actor/comedian Eric Sykes cameo.

Max Payne (2008)



Remember the Max Payne video game from Rockstar Games studio? Well, its going to become a movie at last.

Its probably a bit too late if you ask me, while the games are really good they've kinda been left behind now with endless other video game series out there emulating a similar formula.

The last game Max Payne game; The Fall of Max Payne came out five years ago. There are rumors bouncing around the internet of a third game currently in development. That would certainly warrant a movie title if successful.



Anyway, IMDb have a page for the Max Payne movie with (Marky) Mark Wahlberg down for playing the lead so thats a good sign things are moving forward.

Thanks to my good friend Hempknight for telling me about this.
