Pre-Bahrain I spent a fair amount of my weekends in Summer at the cinema. Well, maybe not weekends, but certainly a lot of Friday nights. See, I’m a sucker for blockbuster films. Sure we get them here. But as I’ve mentioned before, films can tend […]

Film Review: Guardians of the Galaxy
Do you remember when the first Guardians of the Galaxy trailer was released to the masses and the masses balked? This isn’t a Marvel comic book film, were the cries. There was space, and spaceships and people with green skin. Ohh… people. That trailer totally […]
In-flight entertainment… poor choices?
Before heading off to Bahrain, it had been a very long time since I’d gone on a long haul flight. But I always have one rule when it comes to what to watch. Don’t watch anything that needs more than an ounce of attention and […]
100 movies: New York, I Love You
Every year I set myself a target, usually of about 100, of films to watch. These are new films. Not new, new films. But films that are new to me. Any time I’ve seen a new one, I post a bit of a brain dump […]
120+ Movies: Limitless
Limitless (29/08/11) A writer discovers a top-secret drug which bestows him with super human abilities. I think the trailers and marketing sell this film short. Very short. It’s a surprisingly good film. Or maybe that was the marketing bods idea. The opening scene reminded me […]

120+ movies: The holiday films

100 movies: Only 29 to go!
The A-Team (05/08/10) I loved The A-Team TV show. It was Saturday afternoon tea time viewing for the whole family. I’m not joking. I am still guilty of watching the odd episode here and there when I find it on some random channel on Sky. […]
100 movies of 2010: Update
It’s been a bit of a slower week this week with only 3 movies watched, but that’s better than I would have done had I not been trying to watch 100 movies this year. Another mixed bunch too. Slumdog Millionaire (16/01/10) For some reason the […]
