I'm a sucker for quizzes. For more years than I care to remember I have been doing a quiz in a daily newspaper. In all that time I can can only remember getting all the questions right once. At least in THE HORROR FILM QUIZ BOOK it sticks to one theme. So I guess it is happy quizzing!

If you proclaim yourself to be a horror film aficionado, then this book will back you up or catch you out. As a film producer of thrillers and chillers, I thought I would know all the answers. This book promises hours of fun, and brings into sharp focus some all-time great classic horror chills.

12 Rounds Review
WWE superstar John Cena is back with his second film, and this time it’s actually really good. John Cena is one of many wrestlers to try to jump from the world of pro wrestling to the big screen however not many make it. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has been the most successful in the transition followed by, unfortunately, Hulk Hogan.
‘12 rounds’ is a great action film. It has a good plot and good action scenes. I, however, am not a huge fan of John Cena, never have been and properly never will be, however his acting roles are getting better and after his role in ‘The Marine’ a few years back I can see him one day in the near future leaving WWE.
The films co stars put on a hell of a show. ‘Queer as Folk’ star Aidan Gillen showed off his bad guy skills as Irish terrorist Miles Jackson whilst Ashley Scott (The Kingdom/S.W.A.T) was very good as Cena’s Girlfriend Molly Porter.
I will give this film an 8/10. This is for my slight dislike for John Cena. The film however was very good and I would highly recommend.

Film Review - Baby Blues/cradle will fall
Now i wont give much away as i hate it when people do that, but this film was surprisingly good. i like a good horror with unknown actors and this is one of those films. The film stars Ridge Canipe as 11 year old Jimmy. Fans of the television series supernatural may remember Canipe from his role as Young Dean Winchester (Canipe also played Tommy in the smile time episode of Angel). If his roles in both of these are anythig to go by this young man has a grand acting career ahead of him.
In my usual style i will have to give 'Baby Blues' or 'Cradle will fall' as it is called over here in the uk a score outta 10. I will give this film a 9/10 however i have a very strict guideline to reach the 10/10 mark. till next time film fans!
