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

The Prestige
Rubbish! If it wasn’t for the fact we had a large bar of chocolate I would have lost the will to live. Christopher Nolan is a brilliant director Why did he bother making this, the most boring film of the year. I never thought I would say this, but even Scarlett Johannsen failed to stir… Continue reading
