Red Rat is a very unique artist, both in terms of look and sound, if you’ve never seen or heard him, I can only describe him as a larger than life, almost cartoonish reggae artist from Saint Ann’s Bay, Jamaica. During the latter half of the 1990s, Red […]
Movies don’t always have to be high-concept, high-brow, or critically praised to be entertaining and that’s exactly how I feel about The Barbarian Brothers and their sometimes forgotten contribution to cinema. The Barbarian Brothers, also known as Peter and David Paul, twin brothers and fellow body-builders from Connecticut, […]
Similar to Mafioso Hip-Hop’s hackneyed sound in the 2000s, Trap music in the 2010s is fast becoming an unoriginal and banal style. Having said that, every time an artist breaths new life into this derivative sub-genre, they reinvigorate it and help it live for a few years more. […]
It’s great when you chance upon something watchable on YouTube, you type in a broad or vague search term and the results (every now and again) bring you something noteworthy. This I have to stress is a rare occurrence but it happened to me recently when I stumbled […]
Larry Cohen is a very underrated screenwriter and director. He is described by many as a “B-Movie auteur” and although I agree with the “auteur” part, his films for me are much better than typical B-Movies, both in terms of plot and direction. Cohen’s films are usually unfairly […]
James D’Arcy is a very underexposed and underrated actor. His roles which are usually small or sometimes in unsuccessful films have kept this very talented actor from becoming a household name. It’s a strange situation that just because someone’s films are either commercial failures (Jupiter Ascending), poorly directed […]
Joseph Bishara is a film composer who has scored many contemporary horror movies. Some of these horror films have been low-budget B-movies but regardless of the quality of the picture, Bishara’s score has always been a rose amongst the thorns. In films such as The Vatican Tapes and […]
The great thing about Netflix is that now and again you end up watching shows and movies you wouldn’t normally seek out. When you’re bored, you find yourself browsing through the genres and during a period of insomnia you take a punt on an unknown film. It’s especially […]
I first saw Andre Royo in John Singleton’s remake of ‘Shaft’ playing the snitch named “Tattoo”, and even in such a small part I remember thinking he was a decent actor. Although Jeffrey Wright stole the show in that particular movie, Royo has since established himself as a […]
These days if someone criticises mainstream Hip-Hop they get labelled an elitist, but what these people don’t seem to understand is that when someone speaks ill of contemporary rappers, they’re being critical of the individual artists not the sub-genre itself. If someone doesn’t like Chief Keef for example, […]
Before Sacha Baron Cohen and Marc Wootton created their various satirical characters, and way before Vitalii Sediuk accosted celebrities and famously received a restraining order, there was a much wittier and sharper celeb-harasser named Dennis Pennis. Pennis was a character created by Paul Kaye and Anthony Hines; he […]
Paul Dano is one of the best up-and-coming actors today, in fact he’s arguably one of the best actors of his generation. That’s not to say that Dano has found huge success, in fact these days being underrated unfortunately goes hand in hand with being the most talented […]
People forget how good an actor Danny Glover really is and because his ageing cop character Roger Murtaugh from the “Lethal Weapon” series is so ingrained in people’s minds, most of them neglect his other more weightier roles. Playing a Police Officer is of course one of Glover’s […]
