There’s a deer at the bottom of the garden………
When I came downstairs this morning at 6.15, there was a baby Muntjac deer looking at me through the patio door! Those of you that have seen our garden will know that is totally inclosed so we don’t know how it got in, or out, as it had gone by the time I had fed… Continue reading

Cloverfield
This film starts at a party in Manhatten where your are introduced to the characters and they are such a bunch of numbnuts that you are hoping they’ll all die quite violently. I suspect that this was planned by the writers so you are more or less braying for blood when the monster and his… Continue reading

Credit crunch? The real crisis is global hunger.
George monbiot writes: A food recession is under way. Biofuels are a crime against humanity, but – take it from a flesh eater – flesh eating is worse.

The Assassination of Jesse James
At 160 minutes this film is way too long. The film looks great (perhaps a bit over the top, it looks like a music video sometimes) and Casey Affleck is really good as Robert Ford but this film is so boring had they made it about 80 minutes it probably would have been about right.… Continue reading

The residents open their gardens each year and although most of them are quite tiny they are really imaginative… Continue reading
