So today the Government unbelievably lost their attempt to cap benefits to £26,000 a year. Let’s just stop and think about this a second. £26,000 a year. Remember, benefit isn’t taxed. So that is income into people’s pocket. That’s got to be the equivalent of, what £30K plus in earned wages? I see, in my [...]
First time I have ever entered a cinema on my own, as I normally would rather wait for the Blu-ray than do so, and it was not helped by the lady from Sky saying “are we alone tonight, Sir” as I gave her the ticket. Yeah cheers for that bitch! Got in there and the [...]
A couple of years ago I was sent Sky High on Blu-ray to review and I gave it a high mark, being very surprised with how good it actually was. This morning, we needed something to keep all of us entertained and I started off with The Wizard on Netflix. However it soon became clear that eighties [...]
The King’s Speech is one of those films that has been so universally praised and loved it actually ends up having the reverse effect on me and ends up making me avoid it. I know that’s a bit sad – but there you go. So anyway last night it got to about 11pm and myself and [...]
The original plan was to watch The Darkest Hour 3D but when we sitting in Nandos before the start, Dave stated that he was keener to watch Underworld : Awakening. Bad things had been heard about the former so we decided to head to the pub for a couple of hours and then catch the [...]
Just days after saying that they wouldn’t sign anyone, Lambert would appear to have closed in on a signing that some are saying could be the coup of the window. Jonny Howson from Leeds has agreed personal terms, and the clubs have agreed a fee. It now just depends on a medical. As he has [...]
Latest movie to dispatch is Season of the Witch which will be with me tomorrow (Saturday). I suspect it will be cheezy as hell – but will it be fun or just rubbish? With Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman in it, it could go either way for sure. Could make for an entertaining couple of hours
Just a quick apology for the downtime over the past couple of days – it was down to my bandwidth cap being exceeded. Quite a surprise to be honest – I’ll need to get to the bottom of what is going on by analysing my traffic. TBH though, I was paying a bargain basement £3 [...]
I wasn’t expecting much and I got exactly what I was expecting. An interesting concept (Black Hawk Down meets Independence Day) ends up failing badly – the film clearly wants you to treat the emotions and dilemmas that the soldiers face as realistically as you would in, for example, Saving Private Ryan. But the reality [...]
I had been hoping to put off the purchase of this, and wanted to force myself to read Stephen Fry’s autobiography which is sitting on my iPad – but I made the mistake of downloading the preview of Stephen King’s new novel 11.22.63. From the second I started reading, I was absolutely hooked! I had been [...]
