Premonition
Absolute rubbish! I cannot think of anything good to say about this film, rubbish story, script and direction and the acting was poor as well. It is so rubbish that I am disapointed I actually wasted time watching it. 0/10 Continue reading

Ninja Warrior
Came across a link to a you tube video which is an extract from Ninja Warrior which is a Japanese Obstacle Course game show. The clip features Makoto Nagano who is a fisherman and spends 300 days a year training on his ship for the competition. The most impressive obstacle I think, is the Spider Continue reading

Apocalypto
At 10.30 last might I was cleaning a dvd with a banana! I was desperate to get it working again using this remedy as we were enjoying the film so much it was driving us crazy as it kept jumping and pausing and it worked! The film was far better than we expected, I had Continue reading

Capote
Good film and a brilliant performance by Philip Seymour Hoffman. It focuses on the time in Capotes life while he was writing “in cold blood” a book about a quadruple murder in Kansas and his relationship with one of the killers Perry Smith. Its a fascinating story, although it is not made clear in the Continue reading

VW TV ad
I love driving in a city at night. Earlier this year I drove through London late at night and it was just beautiful, the view over the Thames as I drove along Embankment was superb. For this reason, my favourite ad at the moment is “night driving” for the VW Golf. It is beautifully shot Continue reading

(Boring) Babel
Made by the same director who made Amores Perros and 21 Grams This is one of those films where you are witness to a violent event and a story unfolds of the people involved. Done well, these films can be very good but it needs to have characters with depth who interest you otherwise you Continue reading

Die Hard 4.0
Brilliant! Its great to see John McClane back on the screen. It really is like going to see an old friend. When I sat down in the cinema I was thinking “so what’s that John McClane up to now?” I really enjoyed the plot, evil geeks hacking into everything that is computer controlled and bringing Continue reading
