H Is For...Halfway Across The Galaxy And Turn Left!

This was an Australian kids TV show back in the 90's and my favourite ever to come out of the country. I was hooked on this after viewing just the intro, love that music! I even missed the first so many episodes but still went back every morning during the school summer holidays to watch it. I even managed to hook my friends on the show.

G Is For...The Goonies!

Don't be one of those awkward people who will say that 'The Goonies' begins with a T, you drop 'the' from the title ok?

Now that's out of the way...

Are the Goonies good enough?

Well Cyndi Lauper thinks so and so do I!

F Is For...Fullmetal Alchemist!

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return,

To obtain,

Something of equal value must be lost.

That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange.

 In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth.

Fullmetal Alchemist is one of, if the not 'the best' anime out there! The story focuses on two brothers who suffer a tragedy when attempting to bring their dead mother back to life using alchemy and a technique called human transmutation. However it goes horribly wrong and Alphonse Elric loses his body. Edward Elric,the older brother, loses his left leg and then sacrifices his right arm to attach Alphonse's soul to a suit of armour so he can stay alive.

E Is For...Evan Bonifant!

Tum Tum grew up

Or more precisely an interview with Evan Bonifant! For those of you who don't know him, Evan is an actor best known for his role as Tum Tum in 3 Ninjas Kick Back and as Buster in the Blues Brothers 2000. These are two of my favourite childhood films so I decided to message Evan and ask for an interview. He kindly agreed and here it is!
  



Evan, you are best known for your roles in the films listed above. What was it that influenced you in becoming an actor?

Evan: My Brother Adam. He was hired to be in a film called Toy Soldiers and I followed him to New York with my mother as I was only 4 years old and he was not old enough to chase the dream without my mother's assistance.

D Is For...Dead Space!

In space no one can hear you scream...but they can in your bedroom hiding beneath the quilt while you try to escape the Necromorphs attempting to tear you apart limb by limb.


When I first saw a preview for Dead Space in a playstation magazine I thought it was just a trashy gorefest that wouldn't gather much attention. Just killing aliens on a spaceship by dismembering them? Yeah great fun. Just trashy.

Well I was wrong as Dead Space is survival horror at its best and the dismembering is actually quite clever and fun.

C Is For...Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers!

Sometimes some crimes,

Go slipping through the cracks,

But these two,

Gumshoes,

Are picking up the slack,

There's no case too big,

No case too small,

When you need help just call,

Ch-ch-ch-Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers!

How catchy is that song? It's one of my favourite cartoon themes of all time and another childhood favourite that I used to watch on the weekends and I even owned some of the episodes on VHS.

B Is For...Black Butler!

I discovered this anime on Netflix quite a while back and decided to give it a go. After viewing it for several minutes I almost turned it off as I couldn't stand listening to those posh, over-the-top, English accents! This had nothing to do with me being Welsh either! 

However I carried on and soon adjusted to the voices (that makes me sound crazy) just like I did with Naruto's when I first watched it.
