Turbo Kid: Mini Review...

What's it about?
An apocalypse, ravaged by acid rain and pollution, has obliterated much of the human race, with those still left alive reduced to scavenging and bloodthirsty combat. The year is 1997. The Kid (Munro Chambers), a lone teenager scrabbling through the rubble for the plastic relics of the 1980s, and all-round comic book obsessive, one day stumbles into Apple (Laurence Leboeuf), a curiously manic pink-haired waif whose previous best friend is a festering corpse.

"A Sideline In Vengeance" is off to a good start...

A quick update on the screenwriting front: Four days into the process and already I've got the first act done - and tweaked into a third draft for good measure.

Next week I'll be heading into the belly of the beast - Act II.

"A Sideline In Vengeance" is underway...

After getting the bulk of the planning done during December (and a little bit of last minute tinkering in the first few days of 2016), I've started writing my new screenplay called "A Sideline In Vengeance".

It's a conspiracy thriller inspired by some dark and twisted stories that have been hitting the headlines in the UK over the last couple of years...

Find more movie reviews here.

“They won't be singing kum-ba-ya, they'll ve screaming kum-ba-noooooooo!” Taking the bulk of it's cues from Sean S. Cunningham's iconic 'slasher flick that defined the 80s' Friday the 13^th (1980), The Final Girls (not to be confused with the entirely unrelated Final Girl) is a meta comedy-horror mash-up in which a group of friends attend a screening of 'Camp Bloodbath', only to end up journeying into the film itself. However, if they thought it was going to be difficult escaping the machete-wielding Billy Murphy, they clearly didn't stop to think about getting their camp counsellor cohorts – pre-destined to fornicate with abandon – to keep their zips up and their buttons fastened...
