It is fair to speculate that the majority of us enjoy when a nice surprise reveals itself. Discovering something previously unknown, experiencing something for the first time typically brings a rush of excitement, achievement, contentment.

As a child it happened a lot for me – films like E.T., Star Wars, Gremlins drew me so much that I just became completely transfixed. With Gremlins I never even noticed that it had freaked out some of my friends so much they had left the cinema!

Over recent years we have seen a real pile-on from online naysayers whenever Disney has announced a real-life re-imagination of one of their classic animated films. I’ll admit that I raised an eyebrow when I first heard about them deciding to do it but I soon saw the power of it and have continued to do so.

Sunday 12 July 2026 01:30 PM
Earlier this year cinema goers were hit with the gory onslaught that was Lee Cronin’s The Mummy. Anyone that saw it would probably be thinking that it would be difficult to see any horror film out doing it this year when it came to look away moments and fake blood used. Well stand back and get ready because Evil Dead Burn has just entered the conversation.

The hairstyles changed. The workout gear changed. The exercises did not. Looking through old fitness photos, I realised something: I have been teaching – and relying on – glute medius exercises to stay agile for more than 40 years.

When road trips go everywhere except according to plan
Sunday 28 June 2026 02:00 PM
After a year of rugged travel, I made a suggestion to Patrick. “Let’s do an easy trip.” My definition of easy was a leisurely three-week road trip through Central America. We would start in Panajachel on Guatemala’s Lake Atitlán and meander through six countries before finishing in Panama City. One car. One driver. Colonial towns, volcanoes, national parks.

When I walked into the cinema to watch Minions & Monsters I was not expecting to be taken on a journey through the history of Hollywood.
