Here’s another hit from the successful and ever-popular children’s musical, Bugsy Malone. This has to be one of the most under-rated musicals in history. The soundtrack is a knock-out and manages to incorporate adult themes into a movie featuring only child actors. In this song and scene, we are reminded that tomorrow’s another day. We […]
Yep. You’ve all seen them, the movie characters who make you wonder when exactly they’re going to die, usually horribly. They stand out in movies. You know the ones. The girl who goes into the basement when she hears a strange noise. The fella who goes outside to get firewood when there’s a maniac about. […]
Society just loves to immortalise celebrities, even when we know better. Even in Republics, the people move to create new monarchies from among the A-listers. In the UK, the two groups have now converged with the inclusion of Meghan Markle into the Windsor family; a celebrity who is now a royal. There is also the […]
Horror movies, where would we be without them? Probably not hiding behind the sofa for a start. People love to be scared. We pay a premium these days to go to the cinema and sit amongst smelly, popcorn-chomping, crisp-farting others and be frightened by what appears on the screen. The studios love the genre. Some […]

A regular contributor to this site once said, ‘Mensa is an organisation for those with a high IQ, but which is being run by idiots’. Hmm, quite a claim and one which Rebel Voice will take lightly, although the commentator was once a member of that organisation so perhaps there’s…
It’s perhaps of concern that so many people like to dress up as horror villains and wear masks associated with evil intent. Halloween must be a psychologist’s wet dream. We, the people, like to become the bad guy, if only in our fevered imaginations. We become Michael Myers, Leatherface and Freddie Kruger, giving little thought […]
Fool Me Twice by Robert B. Parker (Michael Brandman) Robert B. Parker died in 2010. This novel was released in 2013. It is not Parker’s own work, of course (unless a seance was employed), but that of Michael Brandman, approved by the Parker estate. It’s understandable why Brandman has been chosen. He writes like Parker […]
Hmm… Rebel Voice is never sure about posts like this. The subject matter is of interest to readers but in essence is bullshit. Actors are over-paid attention-seekers who seldom use the platform they have been given for anything of worth. There are exceptions to this of course. A,B and even C listers get paid more than […]
The entertainment business can be a fickle world, especially if you have independent opinions. Stars, rising and otherwise, are all concerned with their careers. They network and hobnob and cajole to further their own place within that domain. This often means that intelligent people, as many celebrities are, will ignore whatever principles they have in […]
What would a movie be without a villain? Probably a documentary about making marshmallows. We all love to see the bad guys on screen. Some of them are mediocre, some not. Some are truly terrifying, some are bland. Some of them meet a standard demise, and some of them go out with a bang, perhaps […]
We love the movies. We love them so much that we are willing to pay an extortionate price to sit in an uncomfortable seat with a lunatic behind us chomping loudly through a monster bag of crisps and slurping on lemonade whilst his bored girlfriend asks questions about Wolverine’s claws and excessively hairy body. “So […]
A sad death in a horror movie? It seems to be a contradictory statement, as horror movies are not renowned for such sentimentality. Think Michael Myers in Halloween, Freddie Krueger in Nightmare on Elm Street, The Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz. What? That wasn’t a horror movie you say? Are […]
