“Three more days to Hal-low-een Sil-ver Sham-rock.” Nobody will be singing that in this version of Season of the Witch which sees Nicolas Cage don wig and sword and crusade through the supernatural thrills of the 14th century. His task? To…
Here's the trailer for the upcoming Nic Cage flick SEASON OF THE WITCH. The verdict? Um, it's got Christopher Lee and Ron Perlman in it... Honestly, it reminds me of the B movies I used to see on the shelf at Blockbuster.

The Twilight phenomenon is nothing new. It’s just the apotheosis of a sort of pop-cultural nosferatu makeover that has been chugging along since Anne Rice sent moody young romantics swooning with Interview With a Vampire way back in 1976.

I'm not sure exactly why – there is nothing inherently menacing, I think, about an English accent. But whatever the reason, I have spotted a cinematic trend here that...
It was sad to learn of the death of the actor Edward Woodward. I never knew his TV work, the work which won him his Golden Globe. For me he will always be Sergeant Neil Howie, the virginal Scottish policeman from The Wicker Man , the 1973 horror classic directed by Robin Hardie, one of my all-time favourite movies. It’s a movie full of pagan magic and mystery, a wonderful evocative fantasy of...
British ambassador to the United States Sir Nigel Sheinwald usually writes about climate change policy and the difficulties in Afghanistan on his blog , but today he chose to write about bloodsucking vampires. It seems, as Sheinwald accurately points out, the Brits export a considerable amount of vampires to Hollywood. Robert Pattinson, Stephen Moyer, Kate Beckinsale, Gary Oldman, and Christopher...
First Look Shots of Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter in “Alice in Wonderlands” I’d like to peak inside the mind of Tim Burton.
