• Blu-ray Review: Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs

    It is taken as a given that Pixar are the rightful rulers of CG Animated Movieland(TM) and despite numerous imitations none of the other studios can replicate their magical formula.  Dreamworks continue to cram as many pop culture references as is humanly possible into their outings, and previous Sony titles have been a trifle insipid [...]

  • 12 of 12 V – January 2010

    Amazingly we are now into the fifth year of 12 of 12, it doesn’t seem possible!  But this is an extra special year, as it is the final year that creator, host and all round nice guy Chad Darnell will be hosting. So I will do my very best to get all twelve done this [...]

  • Blu-ray Review: The Taking of Pelham 123

    The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (henceforth to be referred to as Pelham in this review) is something of an oddball movie because at times it isn’t sure quite what it’s meant to be.  Is it an action movie, thriller, character piece?  More on that in a moment.
    This re-imagining (which is Hollywood’s latest word [...]

  • Here We Go Again…

    Yes, I did flip the image so the text would show!
    I’ve performed yet another blog u-turn with this site.
    I know I said it was going…again.  I wasn’t going to continue…again.  Haven’t got enough time to continue….blah blah de blah.  Sorry.  I’ll hang my head a little bit but hopefully my loyal readers (yes there are [...]

  • 12 of 12 V4 – December 2009

    Here we are again for one last time this year.  Has it really been four years of 12 of 12?  Tempus Fugit.  Of course by now the great Chad Darnell needs no introduction as the creator of the challenge.  Be sure to visit the other folks 12s and comment on their efforts.  We really like [...]

Bayonetta: Inspired Insanity

Bayonetta: Inspired Insanity

For the past few years there have been numerous articles written in countless magazines, on gaming web sites and blogs about the state of the Japanese gaming industry.  Where once Japanese companies, games and studios ruled the roost, now we find some of the largest players in the electronic entertainment business are from the US [...]

New Media Arrives

New Media Arrives

Thanks to the excessively cold temperatures this past week we went without any post until yesterday when this bumper crop arrived.  To be honest I’m amazed it all came at once
Planet Terror and Crank 2 were from the Play.com sale (£9.99 each, the only non-digital sale items I bought this..no wait..last year) and Bayonetta was [...]

SNOW DAY (and a half)

SNOW DAY (and a half)

All of my friends around the world who are used to dealing with snow and ice regularly are more than welcome to point, laugh, giggle and perhaps even guffaw right now.
Yes, England isn’t particularly good when it comes to handling snow.  Winter tyres on cars?  Nope because we roughly seem to get two or three [...]

Life Laundry 2009

Life Laundry 2009

I’m a big fan of what is usually referred to as “life laundry” which essentially means “get rid of all the junk you don’t want/need/have any further use for”.  Which when done correctly means I end up with a tidier house/mind, a happier spouse and a feeling of inner goodness for donating a load of [...]

BBC iPlayer on Freesat

BBC iPlayer on Freesat

I have been a little bit out of touch with the world of Freesat just recently, but thanks to the launch of the Food Network (channel 405) I have become complete addicted to it over the first couple of days of my Christmas break.  The PVR is actually getting some use for once!
But I was [...]
