A web page filled with information on things I like from Films, to Games, Books, Music and Godzilla.
Back in 2012, I started to get into the classic Samurai films of Akira Kurosawa. The first one I saw was the magnificent Seven Samurai, and since then have watched others including Rashomon, Ran and Throne of Blood.

I got my first taste of the works of Studio Ghibli in 2014 when I saw The Wind Rises. It was a film I rather enjoyed and put it in my top 10 films of that year. Then in 2015 I watched My Neighbor Totoro and since then began to watch more and more Studio Ghibli films. I have not seen them all – yet! – but I have seen many of their classics including Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Kiki’s Delivery Service. But my absolute favourite to date is Pom Poko.

Godzilla vs. Gigan is a Japanese Giant Monster Movie released in 1972 and the 12th film in the Godzilla series.

We are now (roughly) at the half-way point of this year’s series of The Apprentice and it has so far been something of a mixed series. The challenges have had some ups and downs and there hasn’t been much I feel in a way of stand out moments; except maybe for the one candidate actually needing a trip to the hospital for a legitimate injury. Continue reading “Top 3 Candidates To Win The Apprentice 2018”
It is soooo Funny! It works really well on all levels to make what is both a really good film but also a side-splitting comedy. Continue reading “Mini Film Review – Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle”
