"A Sideline In Vengeance" update #6...

Quick update on "A Sideline In Vengeance", my conspiracy thriller screenplay: just the other day it made it through to the Quarter Finals (feature category) of the Shore Scripts 2016 competition ... which is nice (to use a random quote from The Fast Show).

The Quarter Finals represents the Top 6% of entries, and this year has seen the largest number of entries in the competition's history.

So the six-and-a-half-month wait is finally over. All said and done, and despite the cliffhanger annoying me at the time, it made the most sense to do it this way in hindsight. We've had the anticipation of the wait, but in terms of structuring the story it was the wisest choice. So ... we've got our answer ... and boy, that's a hell of a way to start a season. Talk about an emotional wringer...

Matinee (Joe Dante, 1993) Blu-Ray/DVD Review

Find more Arrow Video reviews here.

“Mant! Half Man, Half Ant – All Terror!” Piranha, Gremlins, Innerspace, The 'Burbs, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, Small Soldiers – chances are you've seen one or all of these Joe Dante films – but what about his 1993 ode to B-Movie showmanship Matinee? Picture the scene: the year is 1962, the location – Key West, Florida – and the Cuban Missile Crisis has struck fear into a nation. Paranoia is rife, if it's not reds under the bed then it's the shared nightmare of an invading bomber dropping Atomic destruction from the skies. This could be the last weekend of their lives – so there's nothing left to do other than hit the Saturday matinee showing of a brand new monster movie, in which atomic radiation and a bite from an ant turn a shoe salesman into a giant, rampaging … Mant!
