There was nothin worth watching on terrestrial TV last night so I fired up my Sky Digibox, turned to ITV2 and settled down with Mission to Mars. What a complete load of predictable rubbish that was. And it had a truly awful soundtrack too that did nothing to enhance the threadbare plot. Weird that it [...]

Saw The Ring and didn’t find it scary at all. A shame as I thought it would be really good. I watched it during the day. Do you think this may have had something to do with it? I was also still weirded out by Donnie Darko and Mulholland drive. Shay had also lent me [...]

Ernie supplies us with the common-man’s guide to The Matrix:Reloaded. Much the same as the first one then?
Now for some shameless plugging of a badly written essay I wrote on that first outing.

Taking advantage of cheap night Tuesday at the Milton Keynes Cineworld, Shay and I bundled into screen 4 to enjoy Joel Schumacher’s (? - no idea of exact spelling, sorry) new crime flick - The Phone Booth. Having heard nothing about it bar the fact that ‘love rat’ Colin Farrell was in it, I didn’t [...]

Stephen’s Doritos post has been resurrected on this site. You can add your suggestions, read other people’s and do all the stuff you could before. Stephen, meanwhile, must wrestle with the difficult beast that is Movable Type once more to get his site functional.
I had to take the Clio to the garage today as the [...]

Stephen Turvey has helpfully provided the answers to all the Dorito clues he’s worked out so far. There are some he’s not 100% sure about and some that he has absolutely no idea about. Film buffs, get yourselves over there and see if there are any you know.
