The Hollywood Awards Season is not only underway it has almost reached its conclusion and there are now only two major awards ceremonies left to be held. The Oscars, which will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel on February 26th (February 27th for us Aussies), and of course, the Seeds On Ground Awards which in their first … Continue reading 2nd Annual Seeds On Ground Awards and Final Top Ten

This has been a particularly lacklustre interesting year in movies so far. Of course there has been some triumphs, but, unfortunately, there has also been some spectacular … Continue reading 2016 Rolling Top Ten Vol. 1

Written by Sam Shannon Over the last ten years or so, Marvel has quite simply set the standard in superhero action films. Their latest effort, Captain America: Civil War is their best film yet. The third Captain America stand-alone film has come to be known colloquially as Avengers 2.5, due to the inclusion of a plethora of heroes usually only found when the Avengers are … Continue reading Captain America: Civil War Review and Power Rankings

Written by Sam Shannon “As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster.” – Henry Hill I recently turned 25. Coincidentally, so did one of my favourite films, Goodfellas. Released in 1990, Goodfellas was directed by Martin Scorsese and featured three amazing performances by Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and a virtually unknown Ray Liotta. Goodfellas has not only become … Continue reading Goodfellas Redux

This is where the entire team here at Seeds On Ground, currently consisting of just one person, will hand out awards for the first six months (and a bit) of the year.

Written by Sam Shannon Over the past two weeks I have tried and failed many times to explain why I enjoyed Ant-Man so much. From the outside looking in, it’s an absolute guaranteed flop and a rare blip on the shiny reputation of the Marvel juggernaut.
