Ice, Ice, Baby!

Iceman has always been one of my favourite X-Men/Marvel characters. His powers were just so cool. Well I’m pleased to say that Sideshow Collectibles thought so too. They are now stocking a polystone statue at a great reduced price. But it won’t stay that way for long. So get on over to http://www.sideshowtoy.com and grab […]

I love The Munsters, from the catchy theme tune to the creepy costumes, I’ve always loved it. So I was jazzed to see that Sideshow Collectibles are stocking this baby, and at a reasonable price too. Snap it up before someone else does and then sells them at a hike. Order yours today from http://www.sideshowtoy.com […]

Riddick (2013)

Dear oh dear. Before I start let me say I dig the first two movies. I actually like Chronicles of Riddick more than Pitch Black, probably one of the few that does. I was jazzed when David Twohy and Vin Diesel announced they were bringing Riddick back. They did mention that they were returning to […]

Hellraiser: Inferno (2000)

I have decided to make this my first Hellraiser review from the whole series and I’ll tell you why. This film gets a lot of shit. Even Clive Barker despises it. However I love it. The reason, or one of the reasons I love it, is because it dared to be different. Pinhead does not […]

Bubba Ho-Tep (2002)

In terms of ‘cult movies’, you don’t get more cult than Don Coscarelli’s  horror comedy ‘Bubba Ho-Tep’. Based on a short story by Joe R.
