Zombeavers

On Thursday night, my friend Mel invited me along to a screening of Zombeavers as part of Film4's FrightFest 2014. The film sees a group of college kids facing a hoard of zombie beavers (and I don't think that's a spoiler as it's IN THE TITLE!!!). And even though I left the cinema wondering what I just watched, I enjoyed it. It's big dumb fun, and sometimes that's enough!

Look What I Drawed...when I was four and a half years old!

My mum was having a sort out recently when she found a bunch of drawings that I did when I was four and a half (when you're that age, the half is very important!). I was pleasantly surprised when I saw them, especially by the fact that there were quite a few recognisable characters included...

O Captain! My Captain!

I woke up this morning to the news that Robin Williams had passed away. He had starred in so many films that I watched as a kid – including Mrs Doubtfire, Hook and Jumanji – as well as films that I watched when I was older including Insomnia and One Hour Photo.

But probably my favourite performance of his, and one that I watched countless times growing up, was as the voice of the Genie from Walt Disney's Aladdin.

Today's character on Sketch Dailies' TMNT Week is Sergeant Bananas.



A fairly niché character, that I think was created just for the toy line. I did actually own this figure when I was a kid!
