Revisiting Chazelle’s wonderful First Man, a stunningly crafted and acted look at the man behind one of mankind’s greatest achievements and more than most, a heartbreaking look at parental grief.

Heisei Era Villains

Stephen Collins, Hermon Berhane, David Sands and Gabriella Leon in Cleaned Out from Sam Arnold and Hear Art Project coming to LumoTV tonight at 6pm.

Gave up halfway through the Showa-era Gamera films as they were getting progressively worse and jumped straight to the Heisei-era and just as I hoped, just like the Godzilla films of that era, a superb reboot with excellent kaiju and tokusatsu effects, strong cast and storylines.

A typically hard boiled, lean, mean, gritty and masculine Hill classic with a classic ensemble cast gritting hard boiled, macho dialogue through their clenched teeth and a glorious amount of shoot outs with an abundance of good old fashioned bullet squibs.

NEW SAM RAIMI FILM INCOMING…

Such sad news about the passing of Drew Struzan who was easily the most important and iconic film poster illustrator in the industry with too many incredible posters to mention but his alternative poster for Bladerunner will always be my absolute favourite.

Had the pleasure of being commissioned by writer Grant Kempster to take portraits for his forthcoming new novel.

I'll be giving an online talk for Directors UK members on how to direct Deaf actors on Monday 3rd November, 10am-12pm and Luke Snellin will join me later to discuss directing his Deaf cast for Warp Films and BBC's Reunion - come join us! directors.uk.com/career-develop…

Jeff Zornow Corner Godzilla vs Megalon ZORNOW MUST BE DESTROYED #Godzilla

Revisiting Oliver Stone's The Doors (via The Final Cut) and whilst it's still a struggle being engaged by a stunning Val Kilmer's Jim Morrison's character who comes across as arrogant and difficult, the film is a triumph of 90s filmmaking with it's spectacular concert sequences.

A beaut of a making-of book that nearly sprained my wrist whilst holding it when I took this photo but I expect nothing less from a Guillermo del Toro film ❤️

Paying tribute to some icons of horror on this special day ❤️

Tonight's double bill...

Robert Englund poses with his new star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with a Freddy Krueger glove.

Loved Shanks' Together with a superb duo in real life Brie and Franco, some stunningly and horrifyingly-executed body horror and one of the best needle-drops in horror cinema.
