It’s in Belgium

March 14th, 2010 · No Comments · Life

Jayne and I sat down to watch In Bruges this evening.  What a fantastic film that is.  Neither of us knew much about it: she didn’t know anything and I just knew it was about a couple of hit men hiding out in Bruges.  It was violent in parts, but absolutely hilarious.
Bit of a bargain [...]

Français pour une nuit

February 11th, 2010 · No Comments · Music

My copy of Français pour une nuit, the new Metallica concert DVD arrived today.  I haven’t watched it totally from beginning to end, but I have dipped into it and watched about half of it.  While it is a great DVD I don’t think it really does them justice, and it certainly did not bring [...]

Survive Style 5+

February 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · Life

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, [...]

Baionarena

January 13th, 2010 · No Comments · Life, Music

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.

September 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Life

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 [...]
