2019’s Black Christmas is described online as a “loose remake” of the 1974 film of the same name, but that’s putting it mildly. This is in no way a remake. This movie has hi-jacked the title of a semi-classic horror and superimposed it’s own narrative, a messy narrative […]
The “Inspired By True Events” disclaimer at the start of The Aeronauts should be written in a larger font. In real life, meteorologist James Glaisher, along with co-pilot Henry Tracey Coxwell, broke the world record for altitude in 1862 as they ascended in a gas balloon to approximately […]
Jade: The Reality Star Who Changed Britain, is a pretentiously-titled, three-part documentary that charts the rise and fall of a pudgy, pug-faced prat who gained fame after appearing on the reality show Big Brother. The programme takes around three hours to convince its audience that Jade Goody was […]
Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood is one of the most overrated films in recent years and it’s made by the most overrated director of our time. As all the posters and trailers state, this is Quentin Tarantino‘s 9th film (it’s his 10th if you include his Grindhouse […]
Ma (starring Octavia Spencer) is a disappointing film. It may be billed as a psychological horror but the movie never manages to unsettle the viewer. It’s not a good sign when a horror thriller isn’t scary or thrilling and that’s the main problem with this film (there are […]
The media and the public’s reaction to the birth of Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor has been racist to say the least. I don’t mean “racist” in the most extreme sense of the word, but discrimination and the distinction or demarcation of race are all part and parcel of bigotry. […]
Although quite unique, Shirley Bassey’s singing voice has always sounded strange to me, like an airhorn on a train somehow became sentient. To my ears, her elongated vocals are akin to a cat slowly being squashed under a slow-moving steamroller. Her singing also has a slight doppler effect, […]
While I’m in the mood for writing about past-it, racist Rock stars, I have to mention Eric Patrick Clapton CBE, member of bands The Yardbirds and Cream, and number fucking 2 in Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Guitarists (higher than Prince, Van Helen, Santana, Chuck Berry, and B.B. King […]
Morrissey is a perfect example of the need to separate the art from the artist. I’ll be the first to admit that despite wandering around the periphery of pretentiousness, The Smiths’ made some memorable, downbeat, melancholic rock. That being said, regardless of the fact that the group’s musical […]
Following any kind of criticism these days, the criticism in turn receives criticism, the second set of criticisers criticising the first set of people for criticising what they think should never be criticised. This cycle of shite then leads to the second set of people labelling the first […]
Iggy Azalea, that mole-faced, bubble-lipped, cultural-appropriating racist Aussie is back with her latest EP titled Survive The Summer …whoa there, why all the hate I hear you ask? Well, Iggy Azalea as I’ve mentioned numerous times before, is a white Australian who probably slaps, pokes and pinches her […]
When you criticise someone’s celebrity hero, fans usually have a hissy fit. They can’t comprehend why someone would besmirch their all-time favourite star. Of course, hating a celebrity can be for something as trivial as not liking their face all the way to something significant such as disapproving […]
It’s always astounding watching the pliant public buy into the latest establishment-supporting, media-created story or event. On May 19th this year, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be married and this date will mark yet another occasion where the powers that be re-educate or even brainwash society into […]
