When I need another opinion, these are the sites that I go to:

TELEPORT CITY

As many of you are aware, I do a little bit of moonlighting over at Teleport City, but long before I posted reviews there, I was a fan of the site, visiting every day. Put simply, it is the best lifestyle site on the internet. Films, Books, Travel, Adventure, Wining & Dining, Boozing, Music and much more, all come under the watchful eye of Teleport City team.

DIE DANGER DIE DIE KILL

Todd Stadtman is a Bay Area based musician and writer whose past history of playing in marginal punk rock bands has left him with a deep feeling of kinship with all things unloved and obscure. This affinity is perhaps what lead him in late 2006 to create The Lucha Diaries, and later, Die Danger Die Die Kill. Both sites offer a smorgasbord of reviews for films that I didn’t know existed.

Die Danger Die Die Kill is one of my favourite blogs, not simply because Todd is a fellow writer at Teleport City, but because he is good writer. Each post takes me to exciting, new destinations. Rarely does he walk a path that is well trodden, and it’s that strange sense of ‘what will he come up with next’ that keeps me going back to his site.

THE STASI

As two scruffy flipflop wearing versions of Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin, Marcus and David have performed countless daring missions in bars across Melbourne. Free World, rest easy – they’re doing their part! Aside from these daring espionage activities, as high-flying philanthropists, they have adjudicated at open mic competitions, provided tasting notes on new styles of Pinot, and also supported the rehabilitation of a deaf DJ. It’s a tough life, but someone has to do it.

THE COBRAS

The acronym stands for the Coalition Of Bloggers wRiting About Spies – don’t tell us it’s cringe worthy – we know that! As the name suggests we are a group of bloggers who write about spies, and each one of us brings a unique and interesting slant to what we write about; covering film, television, books, comics, soundtracks and music.

Regular visitors to Permission To Kill will have noticed that I am a big fan of The Saint. The Saint Club: Leslie Charteris’ Simon Templar site contains all the information about the Saint that you’ll ever need. From the original books to the television series and films.

‘Houseinrlyeh’ from Germany describes himself as one of those strange nerd-geek mutants. interested in a lot of things, expert in none. Thankfully his interests are worth reading about. Who wants expert opinions anyway?

The Lightning Bug’s Lair is one of the sites I learned about by becoming a member of LAMB, and I am glad I did, this site is amazing. I don’t even like horror films (I know, I’m a big squib) but I always find something fascinating to read there. The Bug covers everything from horror, exploitation, giallo, Turkish superman films, science fiction…the list is endless.

The reviews themselves are witty and informative, and usually there’s the odd (very odd) video clip there to give you a taster of the film under discussion.

What spy fan can go past the Harry Palmer Movie Site – well I certainly can’t! The site contains information about the five Harry Palmer films, including snippets from behind the scenes, image galleries, film clips, locations, soundtracks, deleted scenes, trivia and a whole lot more.

If you are interested in Len Deighton’s creation at all, then I suggest that you pay this site a visit.

‘Close the door, Palmer!’

The Rap Sheet is a site that I am pretty new to, but it has quickly become one of my daily ports of call. Devoted to Crime-fiction, the site is a wealth of information about new and forthcoming books, special author projects, genre innovations, and distinctive crime-fiction-related Web sites.

For the run down on The Rap Sheet click here.

The B-Masters Cabal is a one stop site, for those who are interested in the macabre side of cinema. There you’ll find reviews and links to sites like Teleport City, And You Call Yourself A Scientist, 1000 Misspent Hours and Counting, Cold Fusion Video Reviews and The Unknown Movies Page and many others.

I could say that The Crime Lounge is a great site to visit because you can download a whole swag of OOP soundtracks and records, which is correct, but the site is so much more than that. From the liner notes and articles that go with each post, to the library of art work – and just the look and feel of the Lounge, the site is a sensory experience.
