But why is the fun gone?
This return from a long absence is brought to you by the end of first year medical exams. Free time rules. While my exam induced hermitdom has prevented me from seeing any of this month’s new releases thus far, I have had the chance to catch some reviews, and the one that is bringing me [...]

The ever-creative Andy has come up with another fantastic blog-a-thon idea and I’m determined to get in on the fun. The idea is to pick a favourite movie for ever year you’ve been alive. (I think it’s his sneaky way of finding out how old we all are.) Notoriously indecisive as I am, this is [...]

Well, the opera is over. It’s been an amazing month and I had loads of friendly faces out in the audience which was lovely. Post-opera depression is sure to set in with a vengence soon so it’s a good thing I’ve got this blog to keep me going. I consoled myself yesterday with Toy Story [...]

I know how much Ross and Ross need their regular updates of why Tim Burton is amazing so I couldn’t watch this movie without putting a few words online for their benefit. Once again we have the holy trinity of Burton, Elfman and Depp which is usually a good indicator of a decent movie, and [...]

Did anyone see where 2010 went? I appear to have missed it. This is the second new year’s post I’ve written, which must mean my blog has somehow made it to two years old. Wow, wasn’t expecting that. At the start of this year I was anxiously waiting on an interview to find out what [...]

I already love this film, but I’ve got at least a 6 month wait before it comes out. Dang. Johnny Depp as a chameleon. What more could you want? How about Bill Nighy, Alfred Molina and Ray Winstone? Now you’re talking! Animation looks pretty awesome and I love how unusual it is as a premise. [...]

Yet another post inspired by channel hopping to films on TV. Back in October I told you about my Top 5 fight scenes, but today I want to get you thinking more generally about those moments that are just great pieces of cinema. The ones where the direction, the acting, the score, the cinematography, everything [...]

Faithful followers will know that I was really looking forward to this films release. No doubt they will also have noticed the lack of review on this site. The inconvenience of having a full time job mean that I never got to see Parnassus in the cinema, but the epic rain that washed out the [...]

Once again, I’m being entirely unoriginal here, but what kind of blogger would I be if I didn’t have some kind of Christmas post on here? Everyone has their Christmas traditions, and among mine are a certain set of films which absolutely must be watched before the big day. Some start to get you in [...]
