Inglourious Basterds Reviou
Another of my great treats – remember the 'book-thing' last time? – is to get to the movies to see a film that I know very little about.I get to the cinema rarely lately so by the time I see the new releases they are on DVD and quite a bit of kno...
The Boy with 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'
One of my great treats is the holding a new unread book in my hand and knowing that it has been recommended to me as a bloody good read.It helps even more if the book is a bit weighty and has a brace of exultant reviews on the front pages. I’m a s...

Liking It So You Don’t Have To #1 - Mission: Impossible III
One thing which this blog delights in doing is jumping straight from the sublime to the ridiculous. So, with Godot safety in the bag, get a load of this!I had this idea for an occasional series of posts. My thinking went something along these lin...
Bats, Bots and Kung Fu Pandas
I am proud (and, yes, chuffed) to present my first guest blog ever. Lisa O'Reilly is my friend, my pal, my buddy and my niece.All of her life, she has been intrigued by animation and movies and she has carried this through into young-adulthood by pr...
