Gran Torino
Monday, March 23rd, 2009
We went to the pictures last night as a consolation prize instead of seeing Richard Herring. It was short notice so there wasn’t much on we could see. Most of the screens were taken up with Lesbian Vampire Killers and Paul Blart-Mall Cop and you know how I hate those art house pretentious films. The [...]
Taken

I always remember the significance of the cock of the school. I don’t know how well used the term is outside of the North of England but it is basically the name of the hardest boy/girl in the school at the time. There would be organised fights involving the cock of the school with the [...]
Watchmen
Wednesday, March 11th, 2009
I have been avoiding any reviews of Watchmen so they wouldn’t sway my opinion on a film a lot of people think shouldn’t have been made. I read Alan Moore/Dave Gibbon’s Watchmen years ago and was blown away. It is one of the milestone moments in comics/graphic novel history along with Frank Millers Dark Knight [...]
Boy A
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009
I enjoyed Boy A when we watched it the other night, a result of Shelley perving searching about Andrew Garfield. She’s been quietly dreaming about him since we watch Red Riding last week. It was an uncomfortable watch very well done, I haven’t read the book so I can’t comment on how well it transferred. [...]
Metal militia

I wanted to see this but as usual the cinemas are only showing moron fodder. Its on at the cornerhouse in town but its just a load of hassle getting there. I know I sound miserable but just how many screens have these multiplexes got. Surely they could spare one for something like this.
New York city cops
Sunday, February 22nd, 2009
watched Pride and Glory last night, not a film I’d been aware of but one of quite a few I’d got ready to watch. I enjoy watching Colin Farrell I think he’s a good actor. He was good in this as the corrupt cop, I thought eh scene where he was threatening to burn the [...]
Just like a man
Sunday, February 15th, 2009
Shelley was out last night with L, so me and D had a boys night in. D had christened this ‘man country’ from the spongebob squarepants movie, although I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be Spongebob or Patrick. It consisted of drinking dirty beer/shandy eating pizza and garlic bread with lots of crisps and [...]
Bad actress
Wednesday, January 28th, 2009
Finished my Godfather box set finally with an unwanted watch of part 3. Its good I kept telling myself as I was bored to tears for nearly three hours, only waking slightly when watching how bad Sophia Coppola’s performance was. I know you shouldn’t dwell on it and I love some of her films she’s [...]
