Death in a Northern Town ( Deat in a Northern Town 1)
By Peter McKeirnon
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
Follow the zombie outbreak as it happens in the small Northern English town of Runcorn, with journal entries from survivor John Diant, bringing you the apocalypse from his perspective as he goes in search for his missing daughter with his retro, chain smoking best friend 80s Dave.
Bloody brilliant!! I laughed so much! In my opinion it was well written and definitely funny. Love finding little gems like this especially from British authors. The Geese were just a fantastic idea and I loved this apocalypse included animals too. Loved the bloke throw zombies off the high rise block of flats and the zombies heads on pikes.
Can’t wait to read more I would recommend give these authors a go! X

Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Despicable Me 3 (2017) in Movies
Sep 25, 2019
Today is the last day of June, midway through the year, and I'm imminently going to be a Cineworld Unlimited Black Card holder. How did I celebrate this momentous occasion? I went to a 3D showing of Despicable Me 3 and had to pay for the privilege because my new card is still on it's way. The volume was massively loud, and I'm almost convinced it was to drown out the few kids that were in there. (NOTE: It didn't work, they just shouted louder.) I always worry that you can do a franchise to death. But actually, this was a nice entertaining film, and I'm really happy they put 80s music in it. Toe tapping through the film and now I'm home I'm trying to restrain myself from getting the playlists out and dancing round my living room. Hands down favourite part of the film... Agnes is talking with the barman about unicorns... just so wonderful.

Ill Be Running Man
The Running Man- is actually a good movie. Its action mixed with sci-fi mixed with survival. And who better than Arnold to be in it. He does say alot of one liners in this movie. Like his one liner in the terminator, "Ill be back".
The plot: In the year 2019, America is a totalitarian state where the favorite television program is "The Running Man" -- a game show in which prisoners must run to freedom to avoid a brutal death. Having been made a scapegoat by the government, an imprisoned Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenegger) has the opportunity to make it back to the outside again by being a contestant on the deadly show, although the twisted host, Damon Killian (Richard Dawson), has no intention of letting him escape.
Wait one second, its 2019 and this is has not happened yet. It still could.
Its a very underrated sci-fi action 80s movie. I would reccordmend watching it.

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated The Stuff (1985) in Movies
Oct 1, 2020
Here we have an 80s horror that looks cheap, has a crappy sound mix, involves questionable acting from all involved, a lot of shots that feel like corners were cut, and a ridiculous premise, and it's pretty damn glorious.
The Stuff is wonderful low budget horror. The practical effects are brilliant, and the dialogue is so damn stupid. It's vintage Larry Cohen in short.
The only actual criticisms I have involves Paul Sorvino's character. Even in an over the top cheese fest such as this, his character is severely out of place, and the general fun of the film takes a bit of a dive when he's introduced, casual racism and all. Also, the ending sort of appears from no where.
Any other criticisms are good-bad criticisms. For example, a lot of the dialogue seems improvised, and it's awkward as fuck, but kind of adds to the overall quirkiness of this insane killer dessert B-Movie.
The Stuff is great. Also looks legit tasty.

THAT is how you make a film!
Okay, I know what you are going to say... "Marvel, its okay for us to go 30 seconds without laughing" But DAM! This is how you make a movie! There is so much more to it than just the humor, which is just the right amount of silly, cheesy, perfectly timed.
I just love the 80s vibes, it's done to perfection, form soundtrack to colour palet to end credits it is a wonderful blend of Nors awesomeness and Back to the Future mixed with a little Sat Wars.
Can not get enough of this one, defo in my top 5 Marvel films. Oh Deadpool, you know you my guy 😘

Have also seen the movie mentioned below. It was just OK; not great.
<original 2016 review>
Prior to reading this, I'd heard good things about it, and was aware that - like seemingly nearly all of the current Young Adult Dystopian novels - there was a movie for it in the pipeline, by none other than Spielberg himself.
Set in the near-future, I found this to be like a cross between the Bruce Willis movie Surrogates (in that nearly everybody seems to live their life vicariously through other means), The Matrix (cyber reality) and maybe even a bit of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the MacGuffin that gets the plot rolling). it probably helps that - unlike the characters - I actually *was* a kid in the 80s, and so get plenty of the various pop-culture references made.
Plenty, but not all - this, remember, is set in America, so leans more towards the American or Japanese spectrum of popular culture than European.

Kevin Phillipson (10072 KP) rated Doctor Who: Galaxy 4 in TV
Nov 16, 2021
Watched last night not one of the best of the early sixties who but I give it an 8 just for the animation. Anyway to the story itself as I was growing the only way I could see this was the noveliztion which came out in the 80s due to the BBC deleting all copy's from the archives but only episode 3 exits which is available to watch on the blu ray. but thank goodness they animated so now we can watch it in its glory. William hartnell is the doctor in this one there are times he can be heard fluffing his but that doesn't detract from his performance and then there's the chumbleys basically who looking for a replacement for the daleks and not a very good one at that but they serve as a plot point later in the story . Overall good animation not great story but let's hope this won't be the last 1st doctor animation we get
