Michael Edwards hasn't wrote a bio yet, but if they had it would appear here.
Everyone loves a gangster film. The Godfather trilogy features in numerous top 10 lists scattered across the internet, and Guy Ritchie made a living from the crafty cockneys on the other side of the Atlantic. But how close the reality are [...]
I haven’t been this disappointed by a film since the new Indiana Jones, and my disappointment provoked so much fury then that I’m a little bit nervous about venting my frustration about X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Nonetheless, so lame was this [...]
As a child my Dad used to watch a fair amount of Star Trek. He watched the original Battlestar Galactica too, as well as Star Wars on video – repeatedly. I have to say that of all the sci-fi he [...]
