Nothing particularly to say (although this is nothing new), but a silly amount of time to kill while A feeds the little ‘un. Food this evening is curry, but one which we’d cooked up in a batch and frozen, so ‘cooking’ it actually just means dumping it in a saucepan and heating it ’till it […]

Really catching up on my (long) back catalg of films I’ve been meaning to see but never quite got around to. Have now chalked up both High Fidelity (which was fine – nothing special, but nothing bad either) and This is Spinal Tap, which was absolutely fantastic, and about ten times better than I was […]

Well, no Empire Records review, but I have done lots of other exciting things… First of all, I’ve finally made this website dynamic, which means what you’re reading is a page generated on the fly from my database! You may well wonder what the advantage of this is, and that would be a good question […]

Just a note to say that I finally got around to watching Empire Records – what a great film. It definitely deserves a review in it’s own right, so I’ll aim to do that maybe later on today. Ben status – about 5.10am wake up, which isn’t too bad (and is a lot better than […]

Horrah – Ben slept through the night again. If he does it again tonight then it’s time to crack open the bubbly, me thinks. Also, watched Bruce Almighty last night, and really enjoyed it actually. Morgan Freeman did a great job as God, even if Jim Carrey’s character was a little unbelievable.

Apparantly no danger of little ‘un sleeping through the night – back to good ‘ol 3am and 4am wake up calls. The only benefit is that he does happily keep going until 7 or 7.15, whereas when he sleeps through the night it’s nearer 6 or 6.15. Anyway, submitted the final final copy of my […]

Well, back from Norfolk, and what a lovely time it was. Ben’s sleeping didn’t quite last out all 5 nights – for the last two he’s been waking up in the middle, but we’re hoping now he’s home again that he’ll be more amenable again… Caught a few flicks up there – Reign of Fire, […]

Jackie Chan is a name synonymous with all action comedy and incredible martial arts and stunts. Although there’s nothing wrong with this film, it didn’t really scratch me where I itch. I think one problem is that Jackie is getting a bit too mature for this sort of physical comedy, and it was clear some […]

I really enjoyed this film. Cheesy – without a doubt, but also highly engaging and loveable. The premise of the story is a little thin on the ground, although I found myself swept along, and only thinking “hang on” sometime after the film had finished. It’s lovely watching the two protagonists fall for each other despite […]

This is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen, although I found the subject deeply disturbing. Michael Moore wanders around America and Canada interviewing people about gun crime, particularly in the light of tragedies where school kids have got hold of guns and shot other kids (the title refers to Columbine high school).
