Today I conclude my brief look at movies I think have made significant contributions to Apocalypse Cinema. The Omega Man. Based on Richad Matheson’s classic I Am Legend, Charlton Heston chows down on scenery as the last man on earth after a weaponized disease wipes out most of humanity, leaving behind only demented survivors bent on [...]
Ridley Scott's daughter talks about Cracks, her directorial debut, to Hermione Hoby What drew you to the script? It's that microclimate of a boarding school – it's a world that I could really respond to. I went to a private day school and I'm quite nostalgic for it, although I hated it at the time. But there's something very comforting about the regimented life of having everything planned out...
James Cameron has been talking rather candidly about the latest Terminator film, Terminator Salvation and its director McG. As well as that he's talked about what he thinks Ridley Scott is doing with his career, and it's the wrong thing. You have to admire Cameron for his outspoken views, and how he's totally on the money, especially talking about Ridley's recent films. Get back to science fiction...
With NINJA ASSASSIN, director James McTeigue has attempted to make what may be the first A-level ninja movie. To some, this is an admirable and utterly awesome undertaking; to others, it is madness.

Broadcasters are taking the safe option by commissioning literary adaptations that guarantee an audience "In these difficult times there's a little more security in adapting a book than in commissioning an original script," says Liza Marshall, head of drama at Channel 4 and soon to be head of film and TV at Ridley Scott's production company, Scott Free. "Although you couldn't run your...
Continuing my series of posts assessing the best films of the decade, today I spotlight my favorite films of 2001. Some reminders: I cannot judge movies I haven't seen, so if you feel a film you like was unjustly left out, it might be that I haven't seen it; also, if I already wrote a review for it, I'll simply link back to the review. Since I was late with this one, I'll be posting these once a week...
Low-key day. Made breakfast for the kids, which included a smoothie. We opened up the fridge, crammed banana, blueberries, an orange, some baby carrots, two icecubes, and some milk* into the cup thing for our brand new immersion blender we picked up at the Supastow yesternight. Time to fire that baby up, and [...]
