Since around May time this year I’ve been writing a monthly film event guide for The Skinny North West highlighting some of the best movie events worth checking out. Seen as my column is available on the magazine’s website as well as their print edition, I thought it was about time I started re-posting it on my blog. Check it out below.
Between November 2011 and February 2013 I worked as the freelance Film Editor for Front, one of the UK’s leading alternative men’s magazines. It was an amazing experience and one that opened up loads of doors to some unbelievable interview opportunities.
During my editor stint I got tips on how to be a bad ass from Danny Trejo, learned how to kill zombies with The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus, nattered with Dolph Lungdren about the first time he ever met Sly Stallone and talked blue meth with Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul. What’s more, I was also able to catch sneak-peeks of movies months ahead of their theatrical release, see my reviews in print each month and even offer the occasional poster quote. As a die-hard film fan, it was a pretty sweet deal.
It was also a lot of fun to write a section that welcomed cheesy puns, geeky film trivia and my rubbish attempts at being funny. In total, I sourced and wrote original copy for 16 issues, making a brand new 2-page section each month. I even whipped up a few stand-alone Q&As for the mag’s Kill List news section, all of which can be seen below. Want a better look? Click the image to see it in big-O-vision.
Earlier this week Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie and Gonzo The Great all arrived on DVD and Blu-ray for you to take home and keep forever and ever. Just before Christmas, I talked to the man responsible for resurrecting the Muppets from fuzzy obscurity, director James Bobin. During our brief chat we discussed everything from the Brit filmmakers life-long relationship with Kermit and pals to which celebrity cameos were nothing more than internet gossip. So without further ado…
The June issue of Loaded hits shelves today, if you come across it whilst out and about, why not stop staring at Vikki Blows for five seconds and check out pages 25-29 to read my captions for the nude celebrity feature. What’s that you say? You can’t even do that? Oh, alright, here’s some easy to view pics below…
