When it comes to movie titles, sometimes less is more. Why, after all, title a Western The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford when Unforgiven will do? Why call a horror movie I Still Know What You Did Last Summer when Halloween is perfectly sufficient? Anyway, since I’ve been too busy to write [...]
You’re alone… it’s dark… it’s a notable calander date… suddenly you hear a noise… you turn around and see… the top ten slasher movie villains of all time! Ah, slasher movies. For years I was a classic horror snob and turned my nose up at the slasher genre, but I was a douchebag then and [...]
Greetings, sports fans and welcome to comawhite.com. Enough of that. When it comes to sports, I’m generally not a fan. True, I work for the Scottish Wrestling Alliance and I love wrestling, but as for 90% of other sports, I can take or leave them. That said, sports movies are a different story. There’s nothing [...]
Considering the fact that he’s one of the most famous fictional characters of all time, and undoubtedly the most famous superhero ever, there’s never been a truly great Superman movie. Superman: The Movie, the Richard Donner cut of Superman II and Superman Returns have their moments, but there’s never been one single movie that Superman [...]

So, we’ve had the top ten sci fi villains, so let’s have a quick look at the top ten heroes from science fiction. I’m complining this list based on the following factors: 1. Universe saving – how many times has this hero saved the universe or their home planet or whatever? 2 Impact on the [...]
Along with stop motion animation and practical makeup, proper painted movie posters are fast becoming a lost art. Like Tom Jane’s character in The Mist – himself a poster artist – points out, it’s easier to photoshop two big faces next to each other than it is to paint a poster from scratch. The undisputed [...]
Firstly, my apologies for the lack of postage in the past while – server issues and other bullshit have prevented any new posting. Anyway, to celebrate my grand return to… whatever this is, let’s have a quick look at the top ten werewolf movies – no Twilight need apply. Onward! 10. Ginger Snaps (2000) A [...]
The inspiration for this list came while watching the bonus features on my Planet of the Apes boxset. There’s a fascinating bit of footage that stars Charlton Heston in the same role he played in the movie and Edward G. Robinson as Dr. Zaius. Apparently, this short scene was shot in order to show the [...]
Sequels are a funny thing. Ocassionally a home run’ll get hit and something like The Empire Strikes Back or The Godfather Part II will come along and blow everyone’s mind, but for every Wrath of Khan there’s a King Kong Lives, a Beneath the Planet of the Apes or Rocky V. More often than not, [...]
