Welcome! This is one of those shitty amateur blogs about movies by someone with no journalistic experience and a poor command of the English language. Now that I’ve seduced you into reading, we can commence!

This is the movie blog for you if you have an open mind about films. I’m the kind of guy who thinks Jean-Luc Goddard was in Star Trek and thinks Kurosawa is a motorbike manufacturer but knows how many bad guys Arnie kills in Commando*.

Screenkicker is over a year old and it has expanded into a podcast and now a YouTube channel! My friends Chris and Denis are the engines of the podcast and the video content which will be coming thick and fast in the near future.

So if you like films, and you can tolerate someone unqualified judging them then subscribe to Screenkicker today!

Cheers
Mikey

    • Thanks very much! I see my approach as being more in line with shotokan and not kenpo. Actually i’m talking shit, I had to google ‘kenpo’ but thanks for teaching me a new word!

  4. Hello,

    I’m writing from CLD Communications, a personal PR company that deal with actors and actresses. One of our actors is going up to the Edinburgh Film Festival and we are contacting some press in advance to secure some coverage. I wondered if you could give me an email address for Michael Boyd so I can contact him regarding this?

    Thank you. Hope to hear from you soon.

    Kind regards,

    Helena Shadbolt

  6. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and following, because now you’ve given me the pleasure of exploring your blog! Although I don’t write a movie blog myself I’m seriously addicted to reading them. There’s one thing I have to know though. What would you say your all-time favourite movie (as of right now) is?

          • Planet of the Apes (the original ’68 version of course!) Not gunna lie, if I could get a time machine up and running, I’d go back to 1968 to dry hump Charlton Heston. Just to see what it was like, lol.
            I’ve loved that movie for a long time and don’t ever see it being unseated as favourite.

          • Planet of the Apes! I think I’m in love with you! It’s such an amazing film. I remember my grandad showing it to me and my brother when we were children. Good times 🙂

  14. We also love the Alien movies too. However, we would probably root for the Predators instead. Lol. Big fans of them! One of my blogger friends recommended us to watch Prometheus, so it sounds like a movie tonight with that tonight! Do you have a movie review for that on here? Just curious….

  36. Thanks for the follow, looking forward to exploring your blog. Maybe I’ll learn something about movies since my kids are all under 6 and the next time I see an adult movie will probably be about ten years lol
