Blu-ray Review: Punisher: War Zone

Released back in 2004, the first Punisher was very much a Marvel property given a cautious outing.  The budget was relatively low by both comic adaptation and Hollywood standards, and while it wasn’t a particularly great movie (you can read my review of the very shoddy UK Blu-ray release here) it had its moments.  Particularly [...]

Blu-ray Review: The International

As long as there are movies that require a rather dishevelled looking, likeable figure that isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, Clive Owen will always be in work.
In The International he plays Louis Salinger, an Interpol agent who is working to bring down one of the world’s most powerful banks, the IBBC.  For years [...]

12 of 12 v4 – June

Halfway through the year already, there’s a scary thought.  Back once again for 12 of 12, the universal photo challenge for the Internet Elite(TM) created by Mr Chad Darnell.  Give Chad some props, and a job, and view the other 12s from the other fine folks.
This month, it’s Friday.  It’s a work day, but only [...]

Blu-ray Review: Ghostbusters

If there is a list of movies that define many thirtysomethings childhoods then that list will always contain mainstays such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Ghostbusters. The 1984 action comedy is regarded as one of the finest geek movies ever made, a true classic of action, comedy and science fiction. The entire script is [...]

Blu-ray Review: Marley & Me

After the greatly deserved drubbing I recently gave to Bride Wars, I was a little wary of watching Marley & Me. The signs were not that good, and like many others I wrongly assumed that the movie was going to be a light hearted romcom centered around Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston and Marley the dog. [...]

Transformers Gives Me Food For Thought

A short while ago I wrote a post entitled Death of the Cinema, where I talked about how the movie going experience has been somehwat lost to me recently.  Rising ticket costs and the fact that the sound and picture quality, combined with the fact I have to do at least a forty mile round [...]

Out on Poole Quay

Out on Poole Quay

We went to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen yesterday afternoon, but beforehand we took a trip into Poole.  We tend not to come over to this part of town that often now, I try and avoid it at the weekends after coming to this area each day for work.
I’ve taken snaps of Poole Quay [...]

The Great Office Changearound – Part 2

It’s finished.  Finally, I can sit back and relax (as I am now at my very large new desk) and not have to worry about paint, or furniture deliveries, or quite where I’m going to put everything.  Our plans were skuppered somewhat after an administrative error meant Ikea delivered the desk and drawer unit a [...]

IKEA FAIL

IKEA FAIL

Oh Ikea, I do like your reasonably priced furniture but your customer services do leave a lot to be desired.
If you have read the comments in my previous post you will see it’s not all systems go, or rather it wasn’t on Wednesday.  After not receiving my confirmation e-mail 72 hours after the initial delivery [...]

The Great Office Changearound – Part 1

I have had something of a frantic week, each day has been a series of appointment after appointment of both a personal and professional nature.  Blogging has taken something of a back seat, with only my Twitter feed(s) getting regular updates.  Review fans will be pleased to hear that I have a review of the [...]
