Somers Town
New film from Shane Meadows starring Thomas Turgoose who played Shaun in “This is England”. Unfortunately its only on limited release, it does annoy me how just one person from each cinema chain decides what films we want to see. You would have thought at the very least they would promote British films by showing… Continue reading

Ouch!
Nasty crashes on the BMX but Shanaze Reade still qualified and is only just behind Chausson. I’m sure she’ll get gold. Update: Despite getting the second fastest time Shanaze crashed on the final berm after clipping Chaussons rear wheel. 🙁 She’s only 19 though, I’m sure she’ll do well in 2012. Continue reading

Garden Party
On Sunday my folks had a garden party. The weather was really nice (for a change) and a jolly time was had by all. It was really nice to see everyone, particularly my cousins who I don’t get to see very often. It hadn’t really struck me before, but out of all the cousins 9… Continue reading

There will be Blood
I really can’t see why this film was so critically acclaimed, yes the story is ok but it doesn’t really have any great surprises, Daniel day-Lewis is good but not oscar worthy. Based in the early 1900’s its the story of Daniel Plainview (Day-Lewis) a prospector and a misanthrope, who relentlessly pursues more and more… Continue reading

Good Weekend
Had a nice weekend. Didn’t do much on Saturday, just dossed still felt a bit knackered after moving the Corkys into their new house on Friday. Its a nice place, it looks like it was built in the 1930’s with large rooms and a huge garden complete with an air raid shelter at the bottom.… Continue reading

30 Days of Night
As Barrow in Alaska is entering its polar night for 30 days, it is attacked by a group of vampires who have come to feast on the whole towns population. This is a very good horror film, the best I’ve seen for a while, there are plenty of jumps, gore and suspense and its not… Continue reading

Bike Ride
Al and I had a great time cycling from Swindon to Barnstaple last weekend. We did 186 miles in three very hot days. It was great fun, although we both got really saddle sore! When we planned the route we thought, it’ll be easy, the first couple of days are pretty flat, an absolute cinch… Continue reading
