Night 4/31
Film of choice: The Phantom of the Opera
Starring: Lon Chaney
Year: 1925

On an opening note, during the opening days of this challenge I am yet to watch a colour film and last night was the third night running where I have watched a silent movie.

Being a massive fan of the musical theatre production of the same name this was a...

Night 3/31
Film of choice: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Starring: John Barrymore
Year: 1920

Once again this is one of those films you can watch and know exactly why it is considered a "classic". John Barrymore's performance is amazing, his expressions help tell the story in the silent movie format and the transformation appears simple - I am sure it wasn't - but it...

Night 2/31
Film of choice: Metropolis
Director: Fritz Lang
Year: 1927

Once again this is the first time I have seen this film and I guess this is the point of the challenge; to finally see all those horror films I have been meaning to see.
This is certainly a beautiful film, visually and musically, and to have a two hour silent movie is very...

Night 1/31
Film of choice: White Zombie
Starring: Bela Lugosi
Year: 1932

Despite having the '50 Horror Classic' box set for almost two years, this is the first time I have seen this and I can see why it's a classic. Bela Lugosi is ofcourse fantastic and those moments where you just see him staring at you, as he controls his zombie army, is still...

It has been a long time since I last posted one of these and I fear an epic catch up blog would be long and quite frankly boring. So here is how my life is looking right now...

There are things I have strived to have in my life for many years now and they are:
-A loving girlfriend (who can I see spending the...

So..."SGUK Amsterdamage", kind of sounds like the members of SGUK were going to damage Amsterdam with their craziness but instead I feel as if it was us who got damaged.

I have not had that much fun in such a long time. Everyone and everything was awesome!

Day One was quite intense. Waking up early, making sure you have everything when you are not awake...

So how did last weekend and week go for me?

As I said before, this World Cup tournament has been very surprising and unpredictable. However Germany beating England was not either, Germany are a very solid team and England have not ever performed as a unit, so it would have surprising if England won in my opinion. This weekend the surprises have not stopped, Netherlands...

"Silence will fall"...well it did for quite some weeks but I feel it is time for a proper blog / update.

So what have I been doing since I got back from trip to Toronto, Ontario, Canada?
I have been doing as much overtime as I can physically and mentally do, saving up so I can go back, and hopefully have enough left over so...

I hope everyone is well, had a great weekend and didn't get too sunburnt

I felt it was time for a new blog but I don't really have much to say.

The only things that have been on my mind recently are the things I want / need, and there are far too many of them to list here, but if you want to know...

Hello everyone, it has been a few weeks since my last blog, as it has been a pretty busy three weeks for me.

Sci-Fi-London 9 started on Wednesday 28 April. The first night was very insane, as we have the Arthur C. Clarke Science Fiction Book Awards and the UK Premier of 'Splice', both of which meant the cinema was packed with VIPs (Novelists, Judges,...

I was going to post a happy, everything is going really well, wow blog but I have seen someone today that has completely thrown me and I don't know how to feel or what to think...

Good evening, I hope you are all well

So another week has passed and like the majority of you the first few weekdays sucked because I was working, except Wednesday which I had off to watch Arsenal Vs. FC Barcelona*, but then came Friday and the long weekend

*Arsenal Vs.FC Barcelona was a really entertaining match to watch, for a neutral football fan, for every...
