Ranking All The Alien And Predator Movies Seagulls Gather 2024-08-17 | Thanks to two fan-service crossover movies in the early 2000s, it is fair to say that these two franchises are forever linked. But that's okay because a slew of dud sequels and prequels have effectively watered down the quality to the consistency of Belgian lager. But thanks to this handy video you can now find out exactly which three movies, out of thirteen, are actually worth watching. As always, you're very welcome.My books, the British sci-fi comedy Professor Lovecraft, are available on Amazon here: cutt.ly/W9GeO37
True Lies is bad for your mental health Seagulls Gather 2024-08-10 | Although James Cameron's film True Lies was a big success in 1994 it has gone on to be, arguably, his least talked about movie. The movie was a fun spy romp and being old and reasonably popular was obviously a prime candidate for an unwanted, not-needed remake just like everything else.With its light-heared take on gender roles the film dealt with issues that make it a prime candidate for a "modern audiences" deconstruction and the new True Lies delivers all the Joss-Whedon-from-Wish LA girl babbling and insufferable girl-bossing that you would expect from every single TV/streaming show made in the last five years.Insufferable and incompetently made on every level, True Lies is guaranteed bad for your health.My books, the British sci-fi comedy Professor Lovecraft, are available on Amazon here: cutt.ly/W9GeO37

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Book Review Seagulls Gather 2024-06-08 | My review of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, a 1979 novel that compiled and expanded a number of episodes and concepts of an earlier radio series. The success of this series launched a longer and on-going series of books and a cult TV show, it put ideas like the paranoid android, the meaning of life being 42 and others into the wider culture, and - much later – inspired a movie with Bill Nighy. Well, it can’t all be sunshine and roses.My books, the British sci-fi comedy Professor Lovecraft, are available on Amazon here: cutt.ly/W9GeO37

The Phantom Menace: 25 years on and still terrible Seagulls Gather 2024-05-04 | Are you an angel? The Phantom Menace is celebrating its 25th Anniversary! Released to much hype and very nearly equal disappointment turning rapidly to derision, The Phantom Menace saw the return of George Lucas to the directors chair and introduced generations of new fans to Memes. Lots of Memes.Some people have said the film has aged like fine wine. It hasn't. Some people have said that the existence of the Disney trilogy makes the film better.

Disneys Dirty Depends - Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny Seagulls Gather 2024-03-03 | Dial of Destiny, the latest disaster in the Indiana Jones 'franchise' came out in 2023 amidst rumours of a $300m+ budget, poor reviews from peers and audience apathy. It bombed harder than the RAF. It's predecessor, the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, arguably sowed the seeds for the cinematic failure being more memorable for the memes it launched than the film itself. Crystal Skull ruined the series' good reputation with existing fans and failed to capture a new, younger audience. To follow that up with a $300m budgeted movie is the sort of corporate genius that rivals the Sinclair C5 and New Coke. However, with such a vast budget and fifteen years between movies to get things right, there was no reason why Dial of Destiny couldn't be a new watershed for the series.My books, the British sci-fi comedy Professor Lovecraft, are available on Amazon here: cutt.ly/W9GeO37

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde Book Review Seagulls Gather 2023-12-23 | My review of Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray". This 1891 novel delves into the human psyche, morality, and the corrupting influence of aesthetic pursuits. The novel challenged Victorian sensibilities and sparked both admiration and outrage among critics of the time.Dorian Gray is a young man whose portrait ages and decays while he remains untouched by time or sin. He is influenced by Lord Henry Wotton into a life of hedonism and immorality which Wilde uses to showcase the hypocricy of his time.The book would gain further notoriety when it was used as evidence in Wilde's 1895 criminal trials. As such, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" remains relevant a century after it was written.My books, the British sci-fi comedy Professor Lovecraft, are available on Amazon here: cutt.ly/W9GeO37CHAPTERS:0:00 Introduction0:21 Plot Summary4:30 Context5:43 The Message11:25 Is it Good14:09 Conclusion

Puckoon by Spike Milligan Book Review Seagulls Gather 2023-09-16 | My review of Spike Milligan's book 'Puckoon' a 1963 novel that is set between the wars during the period Ireland was partitioned.Spike Milligan was a British-Irish writer and comedian famous for his work with the surreal comedy group, "The Goon Show." Set in the fictional Irish village of Puckoon, the book is a satire of the absurdity of bureaucracy and human nature. The story follows the chaos that ensues when an arbitrary partition of Ireland splits the town in two.
