Tonight I watched a Japanese film called Survive Style 5+. It is another one I got from Amazon’s Vine programme. I actually got it last month but kept putting off watching: I never really felt in the right mood. Tonight I decided to give it a try and found it to be a remarkable film, [...]

After Christmas I treated myself to a couple of things on Amazon, notionally using some xmas money from Mum (happy birthday today BTW – 70 candles!). Unfortunately they had not quite arrived when the snow fell and so they didn’t get delivered here until today, when the postman brought a huge backlog of mail – [...]
Dirty Jokes
October 29th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life
This evening I watched a DVD called Dirty Jokes – a standup comedy DVD by American comedian Gilbert Gottfried. This was another of my Amazon Vine freebies. I am finally getting through them all now.
Any regular visitors here will know that I do enjoy comedy, but I didn’t really enjoy this one much. For a [...]
The gift that keeps on giving
October 19th, 2009 · No Comments · Life
I watched Goldmember again tonight. There were a few jokes or references I didn’t get before because I have been catching up on stuff in recent years so there are some things I hadn’t heard of the first time round, though I probably should have.
Prime example was in the Japanese sub-titles bit where Austin Powers [...]
Gross-out horror for the sake of it
October 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Life
Earlier this week I watched Staunton Hill on DVD. Or to use its official title “Cameron Romero’s Staunton Hill”. I wasn’t too impressed, and was glad I got it free through Amazon’s Vine programme and didn’t part with money for it.
Cameron Romero is the son of the legendary George A. Romero, who gives it an [...]
Black Sheep
October 5th, 2009 · No Comments · Life
This evening I watched the New Zealand comedy-horror film Black Sheep – the second NZ film I have watched this year. I think it cost me about three quid in HMV and have not laughed so much for ages. It is like a cross between Resident Evil and Footrot Flats and all done in the [...]
Going Commando
September 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Life
Last week I was frustrated when I decided to watch Commando and discovered that I didn’t actually have it. Yesterday I bought it in HMV so I could scratch that itch. It was only available in a box set with Predator, Terminator & Conan. Good value – although I already have Predator. So tonight I [...]
Bang, boom, yippee-kayay etc.

For no particular reason I decided to assert my masculinity this week, and also get some use out of my TV and DVD player which otherwise sit idle most of the time. I watched Die Hard 4.0 again first of all. I wanted to enjoy the explosions and mayhem on one level but riducule the [...]
Election disaster
June 7th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Life, Politics
As the general election draws ever nearer, a new contender gains popularity. He is young and charismatic and everybody seems to like him, although they don’t quite know why and don’t really know what he stands for. After his landslide victory he says “this country has been sick. This country needs healing. This country needs [...]
Back to the future
May 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Life
I am now two-thirds of the way through the DVD box set of the Back to the Future trilogy. Somehow I managed to get this far without seeing any of them. I have been on the set in California and seen the town hall and I went on the ride (either in California or Florida. [...]
