Kick-Ass (2010)
The belly laugh is one of those wonders of the world. An uncontrollable and sometimes frightening phenomenon, I have seen better men than myself cry (real tears), fart, cough up beverages from the nose and […]

Tremors (1990)
Tremors is the greatest monster movie of the 1990’s as it works on so many levels. Firstly, the monsters are ugly, viscous and straight out of the 1950’s sci-fi’s. Secondly, the leads, Valentine (Kevin Bacon) […]
