Worst film ever?

May 8th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Life

I thought it would never happen but I have finally found a film that is worse than Forrest Gump!   It is called Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, although on the DVD box the first part is in tiny letters so it looks like it is just called Sherlock Homes. I also learned a new […]

The International

March 21st, 2010 · Comments Off on The International · Life

We watched The International on DVD this evening and it didn’t really do much for us.  I picked up the DVD on one of those 3-for-£12 sort of deals, so at least didn’t waste too much money on it.   I didn’t know a lot about it but could remember Clive Owen being interviewed by Jonathan […]

It’s in Belgium

March 14th, 2010 · Comments Off on It’s in Belgium · 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 […]

Français pour une nuit

February 11th, 2010 · Comments Off on Français pour une nuit · 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 · Comments Off on Survive Style 5+ · 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 · Comments Off on Baionarena · 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 […]

The gift that keeps on giving

October 19th, 2009 · Comments Off on The gift that keeps on giving · 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 […]

Gross-out horror for the sake of it

October 16th, 2009 · Comments Off on Gross-out horror for the sake of it · 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 […]

Black Sheep

October 5th, 2009 · Comments Off on Black Sheep · 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 […]
