Malcolm Martin has been a journalist for as long as most can remember. An accomplished film writer, commentator and journalist, Martin a martial artist in his own right has made a niche for himself in a very competitive market. "I'm a schitzoid mixture of macho man and geek having taught kickboxing for fifteen years (fought at the age of 40), weight-trained heavily in my 20's and played football to county league division 1level. And yet...I love Superhero comics, am totally anal when it comes to film, know far too much general knowledge trivia for my own good and hate confrontation. Ideal job would be department store Santa Claus because I wouldn't have to worry about my weight and the hours are good."
"Happily married (if the two words truly go together!) with two grown-up kids, Roxanne and Wayne (12-2 Kickboxing record) but with an unexplainable phobia of 'The Tower of Terror!"
1) What have you been doing recently?
Trying to lose weight! I'm working on exciting projects for Fighters Inc-Arm-Wrestling to be shown weekly on Eurosport, the 1st Disney Tournament Weekend and our UFC89 and Shaolin Monk VIP Hospitality packages. We've just announced the Seni09 dates, so I'll be working more and more on that in future.
2) Websites last visited
Mainly film based web-sites such as ain't it cool news, box-office guru, C.H.U.D and Rotten Tomatoes.
3) What have you been watching recently?
I don't watch television-only DVD's and these alternate between my huge collection of vintage movies and the latest independant films-most recently The Orphanage and Lars and the Real Girl.
4) What music have you been listening to recently?
It's scary-I was an original 1970's punk but my tastes are slowly turning to.....folk! I'm listening to Seth Lakeman and Show of Hands at the moment and looking enviously at my dad's collection of knitted sweaters!
