On a very recent episode of my podcast (The Movie Show by FromPage2Screen) Anthony Alex & I were chatting about the sad loss of Larry Hagman. Then we mentioned Charlene Tilton who played Lucy Ewing back in the day (and apparently in the updated Dallas too, but I havent seen that) I wondered what Charlene…

Earlier on I was guest on a show called The Monday Movie Show, co hosted by Stuart Miller. This particular episode (recorded on a Wednesday) was a British Film Special where we spoke about the UK film industry. Its successes, its failures and solutions. We spoke for 45 minutes so of course only touched upon…
Once an assistant to Ferris himself (Matthew Broderick), Michael Arndt left that job and began writing the screenplay for a very cool film entitled Little Miss Sunshine. Fast forward to now and Michael has Catching Fire (a.k.a Hunger Games 2), and Toy Story 3 to his name. But more than that, Michael Arndt has now…
With the first film still selling pretty well on DVD and Blu Ray, and Catching Fire not even close to being in our theatres. Its been announced that the remaining entries into The Hunger Game franchise has bagged its director. Francis ‘Director of I Am Legend’ Lawrence who is directing Catching Fire (Hunger Games 2)…
And its back. How many installments of the Leatherface saga have there been. Looking back ive seen the original 1974 film, the sequel starring Dennis Hopper, I dont think Ive seen Leatherface but did watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre:The Next Generation starring Rene Zellwegger & Matthew McConaughey . Then it was onto the Platinum Dunes…
One of the first action films I remember watching on VHS in 1985(ish) was the awesome American Ninja,starring Michael Dudikoff & Steve James. Pretty sure that if I rewatched that film nowdays it wouldn’t stand the test of time, but for the 14 year old me, watching it in ’85 it was great stuff. Telling…
As I mentioned in a previous article. I aim to shine some (more) light on films made in the United Kingdom. For more than one reason (1) I live in the UK. (2)These films whilst have had a lot of attention, definitely deserve more attention and shouldn’t be hidden under the piles of Hollywood projects that are out there.…

After seeing Jaws on the cinema screen , I decided to see what happened to the Brody children (or rather the actors who played them in the 1975 classic film) It came as a shock to me that Chris Rebello who played Michael Brody sadly passed away November 30th year 2000, aged 37 after spending…
I re-watched this film earlier this week. The first time I saw it was back in 1984 in a dark cinema, I enjoyed the film so much that I watched it 3 times on its initial run. Rewatching this film made me wonder where the cast went afterwards? Well This isnt a detailed blog as…
Doing some research for an up and coming podcast about Stanley Kubricks The Shining, it got me to wondering whether or not Danny Lloyd (playing Danny Torrance) was still acting. Checking out his IMDB link indicates that he stopped acting in 1982, some more research dug up this recent photo of him. (although Danny did…
The Sixth Sense brought him to our attention. although he was Forrest Gumps child. Pay it Forward made us cry (unless you are a stone cold hearted creature), Some people hated it, some people loved it, AI(Artificial Intelligence) but where the hell did Haley Joel Osment vanish too after these films? Well turns out the…
Some of you may recognise his name, some of you may not. But ALL of you who have seen the following films will go ‘ahhhhh’ once I tell you that Brad composed the music for : The Terminator, Terminator 2, True Lies and a ton of other projects. But Brad is most famous for his…
Continuing the seemingly popular ‘what happened to’ blogs that I do from time to time, I thought I would create this one after watching the first (and best) Lethal Weapon film from 1987. We all know that Danny Glover is still working as hard as ever so lets focus on the other members of the Murtaugh family.…
Continuing my bafflement as to where some of the actors and actress that I recall being on the big screen yet are nowhere to be seen, heres is a puzzle that predates most of the other ones that I have posted. When I was about 11 I remember seeing a film on VHS called Bronx…
Remember the Roald Dahl film from 1996, the film Matilda? Remember the funny Robin Williams film Mrs Doubtfire? Do you also remember the Richard Attenborough film Miracle On 34th Street from 1994? Well if you say yes to one or all three of those questions, then you’ll remember Mara Wilson But where did she go?…
Its a way to tell someones age if they have ever heard of Sondra Locke. Partnering her name with Clint Eastwood should give a clue, but what ever happened to Sondra Locke? The Outlaw Josey Wales,The Gauntlet,Every Which Way But Loose, Bronco Billy,Any Which way You Can and Sudden Impact were all films she starred…
