I always have a girls blouse moment at the point when Guy sings Its looking like a… Continue reading

A very well made film with… Continue reading

Ouch!
Emma’s latest trick is while I am holding her, reaching into my t-shirt and grabbing a clump of chest hair and it really hurts. When I put her down this morning she had a clump of me in her hand! NB: New photo of Emma Continue reading

Mock Exam
Had a mock exam at college tonight in preparation for our first exam in April and got a fairly respectable 83%, so I was pretty chuffed. However, the exam covers all the principles we have done over the last two years so I have got to keep the revision up. Update: had another mock last… Continue reading

Breach
I can’t quite believe why this film was so well rated by critics from a number of film websites and magazines I regularly read. At the beginning it shows the outcome and in most cases it is the journey to the outcome that makes the film enjoyable but not with this film. It has got… Continue reading

Alternate I am legend ending
An alternate ending for “I am legend” was filmed and I guess will be on the DVD. I am not sure whether it improves on the version that was released in the cinemas, neither follow the story from the book and this one has a bit of a typical Hollywood ending. Continue reading
