| Awsom 50 - The Return ;)Well, may I just apologise to everyone who has been checking on the site and this blog for the last month or so, as I am fully aware how I have failed to keep either updated. This has been down to personal issues, and the fact that I'm desperately trying to find work at the moment. The good news is that this is slowly improving, and rest assured that I don't intend to let Awsom 50 just die.
I have a number of articles and reviews waiting to be included, so please bear with me and I will start work again on the site during next week. I am still having to put most of my efforts into applying for jobs however, so the ressurrection process will be hampered slightly by this.
I really appreciate your support during this time. My sincere apologies to everyone who has written articles and such, but I didn't see this coming and it's been an intensely difficult time.
Keep it action!

| All quiet for next two weeks...Just a quick update to tell you all that there will be no updates on the main site for a couple of weeks, as I am having to move back to England from Norway. I am trying to set up an internet connection, but have been told it may well take 14 days to become live. So, apologies to everyone, but I'll try and keep this blog updated when I can. Many thanks and keep it action :) James | | |
| Dolph's best...? THE MECHANIK review added.Well, I certainly loved it, and Tom Jollifee seems to agree. Take a look at his review and see if you agree...
Tom's THE MECHANIK review
I was just so impressed with the directing style, and as for the Peckinpah style finale - just loved it.Next up for Dolph is MISSIONARY MAN which he's currently filming - it's a Western, and yes he's directing as well! Can't wait.
What with this and the GOJIRA review added in only a couple of days, the site has seen more action than it has in ages! I must be careful otherwise I might over do it... ahem. Anyway, there's plenty more to update to the site... just need to find the time.
Cheers

| King of the Monsters... Gojira review added, and 300 builds...The original Japanese Godzilla, or "GOJIRA" as it was originally called in Japan, has been a favourite of mine ever since I first saw it many years ago. However, this original version took a long time to surface for people outside Japan, as the "Americanised" version GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS was the staple release until recently. So, a big thank you to Ray Kelley for his review of the movie as it should be seen. Another fine piece Ray. :) Enjoy...
Gojira Review
Meanwhile, the anticipation for 300 continues to build. It's been released to rave box-office numbers in the States, and now I get to see it this coming weekend. I had a lot of time for Zack Synder's DAWN OF THE DEAD remake, so am intrigued to see what he's come up with for 300. Expect a review soon.
Keep it action

Awsom 50 - The Online Source for Action Movies

| The waiting game... and a Host from the depthsYou may have noticed that Awsom 50 has been quiet in its' updating of the site of late. I try and put up about one review a week, but the problem at the moment is that there is still a lot of behind the scenes work going on. Firefox browsers will still notice some pages do not look as they should (pictures out of alignment, text being the wrong colour on the review pages etc), but the painstaking work of going into every page within the site and updating pieces of code is progressing nicely.
It is frustrating, as believe it or not there are a lot of reviews/articles waiting in the wings. Aside from myself, Awsom 50 now has a handful of good solid writers (Daniel Auty, Ray Kelley, Tom Jolliffe, Vien Dammage and more to come), so the possibility for the site to continuing growing is now certainly there. We still need more contributors though, so please get in touch with any reviews or articles you may want Awsom 50 to use at the following address... awsom50action@hotmail.com
Meanwhile, on the movie front, I managed to catch the much talked about Korean monster movie, THE HOST on DVD the other night. There will be a review on the way soon, but for all the hype calling this the best monster movie in years, I was somewhat disappointed.
Anyway, thanks for your patience...
James
