Due to the closure of Jeff Goldblum's Laugh, I have archived the articles here because I am damn proud of them!

Why The Muppets Are Great Role Models
12/04/2014 19:26
It’s time to play to music.
It’s time to hit the lights.
It’s time to meet the Muppets…
Or, if you have been following their antics since childhood, The Muppet legacy transcends the decades and have been entertaining us, gladly, since 1955. With the release for The...
Scary Movie Children
12/04/2014 19:24
Children. Those innocent eyed cherubs that we look at and go “nawh.” It is indeed true that children are the future and the future is going to be adorable. Who doesn’t see an absolute cutie in cinema and go all gooey as their high pitched squealing wraps around lines? Who doesn’t coo as they teach...
Why Sing A Longs Are Good For The Soul
12/04/2014 19:23
Sing like nobody is listening. Isn’t that the old adage? But imagine being surrounded by people and asked to sing; louder and with more passion than you have ever done before. The premise is utterly terrifying, almost as if you were suddenly stripped nude and paraded around for people’s judgement....
Best Paul Williams Musical Moments
12/04/2014 19:20
We could have been anything that we wanted to be. So Paul Williams became a composer and boy, are we happy that he did. This iconic man made his name writing for The Carpenters, gaining fame for his pop hits and cool tunes (the smooth DJ voice is utterly implied.) Luckily for film...
Under The Skin - Review
12/04/2014 19:19
Highbrow and art-house cinema have spent a long time trying to find the balance between style and substance. A lot of them, it is safe to say, fall into the former, abandoning the depth of a story for pretty images in an attempt to stir the audience. It isn’t necessarily a bad thing because...
Cameron Frye - Ultimate Hero
12/04/2014 19:18
Eighties teen movies are obligatory viewing. Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink; even St Elmo’s Fire. Plunge into the depths of these movies and you’ll find all you want and need out of a movie; morality, feelings, drama and wit. One such film will always resonate louder than the rest...
Best Movies About Books
12/04/2014 19:17
The 6th March is World Book Day. And who hasn’t grown up without books in their lives? Not filmmakers, anyway, as Hollywood has been plunging into old texts and pulling out blockbuster movies or series. In fact, it has become the staple of movie makers these days, especially with an abundance...
The Act of Killing - Best Picture
12/04/2014 19:11
The Act of Killing. Wow. If you haven’t seen this movie then I urge you to watch it. It is an imperative movie; an essential. One that is an extremely difficult but an educational look. Created by Joshua Oppenheimer, it’s a unique look at the people behind the Indonesian killings of 1965-66 where a...
Best "Cult" Cult Musicals
12/04/2014 19:10
The way I see it, there are several levels of musicals. You have your mainstream ones that your Nan (and practically everyone) likes that pop and lock with feathers and sequins such as West Side Story, Grease and Chicago. Then you have your cult musicals, ones that didn’t make...
Best Cinema Scenes
12/04/2014 19:05
Who doesn’t love going to the cinema? Immersing yourself into the darkness, surrounded by strangers in (hopefully,) comfy seats as your favourite actors tell stories on screens bigger than your humdrum television. There are few times where your concentration is completely centred on the escape into...
