Hello readers,
Welcome back to another edition of your very own Blockbusters and Schlock-Buster review.


So, this week I’ll be continuing my journey and talk more about ‘Top Gear’. I’m assuming by now everyone has watched at least an episode, If not then, Why not?

Today I’ll be talking about my personal favorite episode/s, ‘The Africa Special’. Where Jeremy(Jezza), Richard (Hamster) and James (Captain Slow) goes on an epic journey to find the undisputed source of the mighty river Nile. The trio starts their journey on 3, second-handed estate cars bought each for 1500 quid.

As it progresses the boys turn their cars into sleeping accommodation and driving through a town called ‘ Jezza’ in Uganda to find the source of the river. And crossing a river with a home built ferry which is more like a raft for pulling cars.







The second episode starts with a bit tensed atmosphere as Jeremy poorly cuts a hole in James bonnet which leaves him pissed out for the first 10mins of the episode. Eventually with the horrendous road condition which caused them nothing but trouble. The trio finally reaches the perimeter of their destination where they make a mad dash on foot to the finish line to find the source which James aka Captain Slow does.

Daddy's Home (2015)

"Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious." -Peter U. Let me start off this post by explaining as to how happy comedy movies make us. That's the main reason I chose this genre of movies and would like to keep updated you about really good picks when it comes to comedy so that people can have a good laugh!  These kinds of movies have the main intention to make people happy though comical situations presented in movies. It always keeps you on your feet and isn't restricted to any age group, whether old or young. Everyone likes to have a good laugh and there are some really good actors out there who specialises in this genre. Let's kick things off by talking about one movie which was quite a hit and was enacted by the ever famous Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. The movie was such a big hit that's they had to make two parts for it. Daddy's home (2015).  Image Sourced from IMDB  (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1528854/?ref_=ttmi_tt) This movie

Baywatch (2017)

Hey guys, We're back with another comic update for this week! So I'm sure most people would have watched Baywatch since it hit the theatres on 25th May (in Australia, June 1st.). The movie gives off a very goofy vibe since one of the main protagonists of the movie, Zac Effron has displayed this characteristic.                                                              Image sourced from IMDB The Emerald Bay, lead by Lieutenant Mitch ( aka The Rock/Dwayne Johnson) has a team of perfectly skilled lifeguards handling the entire beach and making sure everyone is safe. Recently, a new requirement was put up by the team for new recruits. They are looking for people who have the ability to develop skills like theirs and become a proud team member. Unfortunately, they land up with two men who are deprived of such skills and seem to be very keen on joining their elite force. An egoistic Olympic swimmer who eventually does prove his worth to join their force when a new drug is i

Xtro (1982)

Hello everyone! Hope you have enjoyed out content this week. Today’s movie is Xtro (1982) written and directed by Harry Bromley Davenport. A horror/science fiction schlock film.   (Image sourced from IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086610/mediaindex?ref_=tt_pv_mi_sm) It follows a young boy, Tommy, who's father, Sam, was abducted by aliens but returns three years later. Sam isn't the same and starts to have a disturbing negative affect on Tommy. Xtro is one of my favourites of Schlock cinema, mainly because it doesn't try to pretend it is a big budget blockbuster. The film knows it is a B-Grade movie and capitalises on its standing. The film's low budget is obvious with poor acting and below average special effects, except for the alien which looked surprisingly good. However, rather than making the film unwatchable, these flaws add to the character of the movie and make it quite enjoyable to watch. So despite its Schlocky standing, Xtro is a f
