The day has finally come. After ages of trying to get something on to The Guardian website, they have published my top 5 battle speeches as part of their Clip Joint series.

200,000 page views

2013-06-19T05:37:00.000-07:00

Another landmark, 200,000 page views! Thanks to everyone who stops by, re-tweets, contributes and helps spread the word about I Love That Film. It was only three months ago I was announcing the second year birthday of this blog and the massive amount of 150,000 page views. So it took me 2 years to get to 150,000 and only three months to get another 50,000 more. That's got to be a good sign

The LEGO Movie Trailer

2013-06-19T05:05:00.001-07:00

Superman and Batman together in one movie at last! It's the LEGO movie. It's got Will Arnett as Batman and all sorts of other superheroes, ninja turtles and popular culture characters popping up in little yellow brick form. Will Ferrel, Morgan Freeman, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks and Liam Neeson are also on voice duties in what promises to be an epic or very small proportions. It is directed by

Those lucky buggers over at Digital Spy have been chatting to Shane Meadows, no doubt doing the rounds in order to promote his Stone Roses documentary Made of Stone. But the wonderfully naughty folks at Digital Spy managed to sneak in plenty of questions and got some juicy bits of info about This is England 90, the follow up to the This is England and the two TV series TIE 86 and 88.

The History of Internet Movie Marketing

2013-06-17T09:44:00.003-07:00

I'm currently writing one of the last chapters of my book on The Blair Witch Project for the Auteur Devil's Advocate series and I'm trying to find out a bit about the history of movie marketing using the internet as a tool. Everybody knows about the effectiveness of the website that was made to promote The Blair Witch Project but I'm curious about how ground breaking it actually was. I'm finding

Recent Articles for Yahoo Movies

2013-06-16T03:53:00.000-07:00

I've been writing lots of articles for Yahoo Movies recently on the likes of Man of Steel, the possibility of a Justice League movie, the Fast and Furious franchise and The Hobbit. Yahoo want people to write about the major film franchises so that's the reason for picking these films to write about. It's not that I'm a huge Superman or Fast and Furious fan, I just like being on Yahoo Movies and

Big trailers: Man of Steel and The Desolation of Smaug

2013-06-12T09:26:00.000-07:00

The final Man of Steel trailer was released this week and seems to prove that this latest version of Superman is bound to be a smash hit. It looks absolutely stunning and while there might be a little too much footage in this latest trailer, I applaud the way this film has been marketed. It may not have gripped me from the start with the first teasers looking a little too serious for my liking

Message from Side By Side Producer

2013-06-08T08:18:00.001-07:00

On the plus side, after having Game of Thrones spoiled for me, I also on the same day received this lovely message from the producer of the fantastic documentary Side By Side which I reviewed for Filmoria here and also compared to the documentary Sound City here. The producer is Justin Szasla and he sent me an email saying exactly this: Hi Peter--I am the producer of the doc SIDE BY SIDE and I

Spoiling Game of Thrones

2013-06-08T07:45:00.000-07:00

I knew I wouldn't make it a week before someone spoiled the latest episode of Game of Thrones for me. I'd like to first thank all the people who were restrained on their Twitter or Facebook accounts and did not spoil what happened in the episode that was aired this week. My Twitter and Facebook feeds went absolutely nuts with constant out pouring of emotional wailing. I knew something bad was

This is the End Review

2013-06-05T09:09:00.002-07:00

This is the End should be completely self-indulgent twaddle. The kind of movie that could be the end of careers and make you hate the stars who so self-consciously play themselves in an attempt to be hip, clever and funny. Full of quirky cameos of the friends of the stars and showing the lifestyles of the rich and famous, it should be insufferable. However This is the End is actually a very fun
