Well I once got paid for a film review. I reviewed Escape From L.A. (which had just come out on VHS) for SFX magazine and earned £25 or £30 for it.

I remember little about the film or the review. I'm pretty sure I made a comment about it being more of a remake than a sequel (to Escape fro New York), and probably made a remark to the effect that it felt even more dated than the original.

Some things really are best forgotten.

Incidentally, I ordered the beautiful Solaris from Amazon the other day. It was going for £7.97, whereas the remake was going for £3.97. In yer face, Clooney travesty!
