A Little Bit Of Love For Tom Cruise

July 3, 2019 by Tom Jolliffe

Tom Jolliffe shows his appreciation for Tom Cruise on the actor’s 57th birthday… Approaching 40 years in the industry. Tom Cruise has spent over 30 of those as a superstar. He’s been a box office behemoth. A star turn, a headliner and a poster boy for blockbuster pulling power. He’s also been maligned and dismissed. […]

After the Endgame: Can Marvel Studios Do It Again?

July 1, 2019 by Tom Jolliffe

Tom Jolliffe looks back at the MCU’s success to this point, and wonders whether they can repeat the formula again… So the dust has settled.

Tom Jolliffe returns with the latest instalment of the 90s Video Action Stars Rampage [read part one and part two]… At this stage in my revisit of 90’s video action stars, I find myself not only dredging through the dark recesses of my brain in order to think up who to run the rule over […]

June 27, 2019 by Tom Jolliffe

Tom Jolliffe goes deep underground in the Labyrinth to uncover a darker underbelly… Celebrating its 33rd anniversary, the cult kids classic, Labyrinth has grown in reputation over the years.

Essential Cinema: Wake In Fright

June 27, 2019 by Tom Jolliffe

Tom Jolliffe takes a look back at the Australian outback classic, Wake In Fright… Occasionally I’ll see a film which almost escaped attention upon initial release. Perhaps a great piece of cinema that didn’t quite stick upon its release. Wake In Fright, a key landmark in Australian cinema never quite captured the world outside the […]

90s Video Action Stars Part II – Jeff Wincott, Michael Dudikoff, Mark Dacascos and Cynthia Rothrock

June 19, 2019 by Tom Jolliffe

Tom Jolliffe continues his look back at 90’s video action stars (read the first part here)…  As I continue on with my 90’s action rampage, revisiting those VHS purveyors of fisticuffs and footicuffs (footicuffs?), I find myself already suffering brain degradation. Some films I revisit have blurred in my memory and re-watching only confirms what […]

Tom Jolliffe takes a time machine back to the booming straight to video action era of the 90s, and looks at some of the headliners… Call me sentimental but the idea of a VHS player whirring away in its machine, having been carefully picked from the local video shop gets me all misty eyed. In […]
