If you’re reading this then it’s a safe bet you’re a big movie fan (or my ex-wife, haunting me from beyond the grave), but let’s face it, we can’t always afford to head to the cinema every night. If only there was a place that showed great movies that you could watch in your own home…
Luckily, there is; and this weekend, it’s totally free!
Starting at 6pm on October 30th, Sky Movies is offering non subscribers a free weekend pass. If you’re an existing Sky subscriber who’s foolishly bypassed their awesome movie service then you get free, unlimited access to classics like The Godfather and Breakfast at Tiffany’s, family favourites like Enchanted, all-out action with The Incredible Hulk and legions of other great movie options.
If that isn’t enough to convince you, Sky will throw in an early Christmas present for all new subscribers to Movies HD – a free Sky+HD box!
The latest movies, in eye-wateringly gorgeous HD; all day, every day – Give your movie gland a treat and subscribe now!
If there’s one lesson we can learn from the movies, it’s never replace your dead son with a robot copy. While Astro Boy’s dad Dr.Tenma (Nic Cage) has to learn this the hard way, it’s a blessing for the rest of us as we get to catch up with 40-plus years of Japanimation in a movie that may struggle on plot, but is so eyeball meltingly gorgeous you won’t hold a grudge.
It’s that super-spooky time of year again, and there’s just time to remind any readers in London town who aren’t on a ripper walk this weekend to get themselves tricked out and head down to Islington Union Chapel, where purveyors of top-notch whiskey Jamesons will be providing the treats; a series of excellently gruesome horror films for the gore-hound of distinction !
STS will be checking out Hammer classic Dracula on Thursday, and there’s also the likes of American Werewolf, The Shining and soon-to-be-cult Colin, with a director’s talk thrown in to choose from!
Best of the entire thing is free, and our generous hosts may even slip you a free nip of their fine product to calm your nerves afterwards. Check out the official site for more details
That’s right, we’re taking another look at a side-character who, despite their limited screen-time really helps to make the movie a great one. This time we’re going to plumb the hidden, brooding depths of Emil M. Antonowsky, better known as “the guy who gets melted with toxic waste” in Robocop!
Let’s face it, if characters from movies were real, you’d hate them. Imagine if your neighbour was a chiselled man-mountain who regularly slept with supermodels in between blowing things up with his flying, time-travelling tank.
Us regular guys just couldn’t compete.
Fortunately Hollywood knows this, and balances things out by rampantly increasing the odds that he’ll be horribly killed at any moment – and none more so than when he’s getting’ some! Sure the sex you have may be dry and perfunctory, but at least it won’t end in death by robot. Want proof? So do we- it’s death by sexy as we take a look at cinema’s deadliest sex scenes!
