The Dossing Times

I’m sure there are tracts of text devoted to rumblings amidst the shareholders of Independent News and Media this week, there is however plenty of coverage stateside following a sudden resignation by the head honcho of Disney and his replacement by a rival. The Disney line-up has been thrown into disarray with Johnny Depp publicly [...]

Throughout ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ there was often a suggestion of slaying and hunting evil being an aphrodisiac, an animalistic urge and a source of appetite. Where a parallel was created between fighting and sex, said sex was shot with a teen audience in mind and only bare shoulders exposed. ‘True Blood’, similarly centred on [...]

The unique selling point for ‘District 9′ is worth discussing and having seen the movie is due praise.
