Thanks to North Korea, Nuclear warfare has been in the news recently. Rather than reading propaganda and watching porn on the internet, Kim Jong Un might find it more beneficial to watch films such as ‘Panic in Year Zero!’ to understand nothing good can come from nuclear weapons. Well, unless you survive the war and you live as vigilante, fighting mutants and strutting around like a king. That would be cool.

‘Go Ninja, go Ninja, GO!’ My 80′s childhood was all about either He Man or the Ninja Turtles. Heck, I must paid off creators, Laird and Eastman’s mortgage’s with the amount of Turtles merchandise I had. I saw the first one at the cinema and loved it, I even received the Turtles VHS for Christmas (which was green no less). Then came Turtles 2, and with it came Vanilla ‘High Top’ Ice. Stuff ‘Beauty and the Beast’ for Best Original Song, the Oscar should have been given to V-Ice. Word to your mother!

‘The Tunnel’ is a strange film, more so for the making of it, rather than the film itself. Firstly, the Australian filmmakers tried to raise $135,000 in crowdfunding, but had to make do with only $36,000 raised. Once completed, the film was distributed through BitTorrent for people to download for free. The film garnered enough attention through these untraditional means to have the film have a small theatrical release and subsequent DVD distribution deal with Paramount. Not bad, eh?

Nominated for an Academy Award and produced by the likes of Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis, Monster House was a certified hit on it’s release earning $140 million at the box office. It’s amazing to think where technology has come. Dracula was scaring audiences only 70 years ago in grainy black and white, and now we have computers to create scary (albeit kids) movies. What will it be in the next 70 years? Even more scary when you think about it!

It’s Christmas, so if you are sick of the crumby family movies on TV (i.e. Christmas with the Kranks), check out one of the all time greats! Sure, it doesn’t have Chevy Chase carving a dry turkey, Macaulay Culkin NOT apologising to Buzz, or Gremlins invading small towns, but Jimmy Stewart shows that a life without Jimmy Stewart would not be a terribly good one! ‘Merry Christmas, everyone!’. Be sure to leave your own review in the comments below. Enjoy.
