Went to see Run, Fat boy, Run at the cinema the other day. It was really good.I’ve become a bit of a fan of Simon Pegg, Hot Fuzz being one of the big reasons why. Somehow he has made being...

I saw the Simpsons movie recently and I must say – I enjoyed it. A lot.Going in to it I was concerned that it would be like watching three episodes back to back, and I had seen some reviews on...

From Wikipedia… French ratatouille may be served as a meal on its own (accompanied by rice, potatoes, or simple French bread), or as a side dish. Tomatoes are a key ingredient, with garlic, onions, zucchini (courgettes), eggplant (aubergine), bell peppers...

I love the Spiderman movies. I’ve seen all three at the cinema, and own the first two on DVD – I am officially a fan. So, last weekend, I went with my girlfriend to watch the latest in the series...

This is rather late now but I really wanted to say something. I mentioned before that I had seen the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film (actually called TMNT) and I’m pleased to say it was absolutely great. Teenage Mutant...

I went to see 300 at the Imax cinema in London recently and it is one of the best films I have seen in a long time. I like powerful films and, whilst the story was a little thin, this...

I was recently contacted by a very nice lady at Warner Bros. asking whether I would like to run a competition to promote a film. Normally I just ignore this sort of thing but (not that it happens very often!)...

I went to see the new British comedy, Hot Fuzz, the other day – and it was absolutely great.I haven’t seen Shaun of the Dead, despite hearing that it’s really rather good, but that didn’t stop me from wanting to...

I read the first two Eragon books recently, the third and final is currently being written. My timing seems to have been quite good because as I was reading the second book, I found out that there was a film...

The Transporter 2Shorter than the first movie, the Transporter 2 has is a very simple movie, and seems to have been made simply to look good. The bad guys all seemed a bit old but Jason Statham was suitably cool...

I have been rather late jumping on the Firefly and Serenity band wagon. I first saw Serenity a while ago and wasn’t overly impressed. I wasn’t disappointed by any means, but I just didn’t “get it”. I’m guessing the reason...

About a BoyA mildly amusing comedy with Hugh Grant, Rachel Weisz, and a few people I have never heard of. It was a lot better than I expected, Hugh Grant plays the same character he always plays and makes a...

ChocolatA rather nice little story about a lady who makes everyone happy, apart from herself, with the healing power of chocolate. I was pleasantly surprised by this film and would recommend it to anyone who wants something nice and peaceful...

It’s a bit late now but a couple of weekends ago my girlfriend and I went to see a new Brit flick, Confetti, at the cinema.Like Spinal Tap and, more recently, The Office – Confetti (FWIW Tim, Martin Freeman, from...

Star Wars – Clone Wars – Series 2Not the movie but the cartoon series. Saw the first series a while ago and, whilst I thought it was ok, wasn’t overly impressed. The main problem was a lack of narrative –...

Went to the cinema the other day to see Mission Impossible 3.Unfortunately I can’t decide whether I liked it or not. There was lots of action, some of it quite cool, and it was a lot more emotional than previous...

Analyze ThisOne for the ‘Not what I expected’ pile. I know it was loved when released but for me it underperformed. Didn’t help that I was ill when I was watching it, which meant that I couldn’t concentrate properly.William Shakespeare’s...

SerenitySerenity is a spin off movie from the cult tv show Firefly. The show only lasted one series, and I haven’t seen a single episode, however the producer, Joss Whedon, also worked on Buffy the Vampire Slayer one of the...

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless MindJim Carrey… in a serious movie… whatever next? Ok, he’s done some straighter less comedic stuff before, but this is the most serious I’ve ever seen Jim Carey act and he pulls it off rather...

The TerminalI wasn’t expecting much from this, but simply because of Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg figured it was worth a try. The film itself was a quite nice enjoyable simple little movie. Apparently the film was inspired by Merhan...

Well, I played the game, and now I’ve seen the film.I must admit when I found out Peter Jackson was following up the Lord of the Rings movies with King Kong I was more than a little disappointed. I’ve always...
