Blimey. I've been kinda busy, and so for a while nothing has been going on here. Expect that to change over the next few weeks, and today has already been a hive of activity with the uploading of all my latest Doctor Who art. I'm really going to try and get my teeth into Dadmancult.com and start filling up the reviews sections in the coming weeks and months.

The week has already got off to a good start with the weekend announcement (who announces things on a Saturday?) by 2Entertain that we can expect 'Day of the Daleks' sometime in 2011 with new CGI effects and revoiced Daleks. Bit of a shame, I kinda liked the drunk / stoned / asthmatic Daleks in the original, but I'm sure it'll be an optional extra and we can enjoy the serial as it was first broadcast...3 battered wobbly Daleks struggling to traverse a lawn in order to destroy a peace conference...after they get past the lawn, obviously.

Out on Blu-ray October 12th in the US is 'Magic', a rather forgotten and underrated Anthony Hopkins starring chiller from 1978. Helmed by Richard Attenborough it's an effective and creepy tale about a ventriloquist / magician losing his marbles in a Dead of Night kinda way. I've always retained a soft spot for it, and even if you find the film somewhat heavy going, Jerry Goldsmith provides a neat score. Not much else of note hitting the shelves that week, unless you're looking to add to your 'Lost Boys' movie collection. There are some rubbery Japanese shenanigans available in the form of Gamera, or was Gamera Korean? I'm not very well up on my Asian atomic mutation creature flicks.
