Cinema Wishlist- Films I’d Love To See on the Big Screen

I have an ever-changing mental list of films that I'd most like to see on the big screen. A few entries on this list I've been lucky enough to actually see in a cinema such as Halloween 3: Season of the Witch, Cruising, The Hills Have Eyes (the masterpiece original, not the remake shitfest), Mommie …

The Irishman, Laurie Strode and The Empathy Chip

I'm so glad I studied Psychology in college. I've always found the subject interesting and have sought to build on what I've already learnt through my interactions with different people throughout my life. I became aware of Narcissistic Personality Disorder quite by accident recently. It was information that I had been trying to discover for …

Day 15- 31 Days of Halloween- Unhinged (1982)

Three women are travelling to a music festival but crash their car. They awake in the isolated mansion of an elderly matriarch and her daughter.

10 To Midnight (1983)- J. Lee Thompson’s Vigilante Slasher Sleazefest

I remember one of the first films my family rented when we first got a video recorder (VCR to my American buddies) in 1983 was the Charles Bronson sleaze-fest 10 To Midnight. OK, I know it sounds weird that such a lurid piece of exploitation was hired for a cosy night of family movie watching, …
