What's the first film you were taken to see as a kid? Believe it or not, mine was Paint Your Wagon (1969) with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood when I was 3 years old. Umm I don't think my parents really chose that one for me somehow! I blame my father wholeheardedly for any subsequent Clint Eastwood fixation. |

What was the last truly scary horror film you saw? I grew up on Hammer House of Horror & Stephen King books which explains a lot but I just don't think films are scary these days? |

What is the best night out watching the big match ever? I had a fab time the night of the England-Germany semi final of Euro 96, sadly we lost after a string of nail biting penalties but the drunkenness in Nottingham market square afterwards (including a whole array of boys showing me their st george cross boxers in the street!) made up for it :D |

Was it really 15 years since the original?
I remember when Donkey Kong Country came out on the SNES with its amazing pre-rendered graphics. It looked like nothing else out there and still looks good on the SNES today.
I downloaded it on the Wii virtual console and I have to say the graphics look pretty rubbish on modern tellys.
Anyway good old Ninty have announced this new version to be released in time for Christmas this year and it looks rather spiffing. The new cel-shaded graphics are different but don't look out of place and the music sounds ace.
I'll be putting it on my list for Santa!

would you beleive the original cost £60 when it first came out in the UK - I hope this one is a bit cheaper!!
