Iron Man 2 - What Is All The Hype About Anyway?

Having four boys at home, superheroes are a big thing. So when the advertisements for the movie Iron Man 2 started up, we were all excited. The commercials made it look great. There appeared to be plenty of action and even a little romance. We made a special effort to get to the movie theater on the Saturday after the opening. This is a true event with four kids under eleven. We load everyone up, including popcorn and Coke. The More

Unzipping the sexiest code!

One show which I faithfully watch is 90210 and I have to admit, for better or for worse, it has got me addicted to it. The new age Brenda and Brandon aka Annie and equity release schemes More

A Death In Holy Orders: A Review

It is seldom that one comes across a book that is thought provoking and thrilling in equal measure. A Death in Holy Orders by P. D. James is one such book. I normally don’t like fiction but was completely addicted to during my entire ’romantic weekend away'at chalet val thorens with my husband, he wasn’t overly pleased.

James is widely considered to be the greatest living mystery writer and in this book, she lives up to that honor and more. More

Foreign Movie Tips

Every year we get plenty of film releases. Comedies, chick flicks, action movies and thrillers, not to mention the ridiculous amount of slasher horrors there seem to be. They are all American or British movies. Rarely is a foreign movie released to an American or British audience, and even rarer is anyone going to see one. The truth is, people are missing out. Just because the movie is subtitled or dubbed, does not make it a bad movie. I was More

Cool Comedy

Considering the number of ultra-funny comedy films out there, it’s surprising the amount of people who haven’t even heard of them. Due to their smaller production costs and less in-your-face marketing campaigns there are dozens of hilarious films which should have made it big, yet somehow fell just short of the mark. Think you know comedy? Read on and find out.

1) Harold And Kumar Go To White-Castle: the first of two hilarious (and equally foul-mouthed, debauched, and strangely compulsive) More

Book Review: The Road

The Road, most recently a major motion-picture featuring Viggo Mortenson—of “A History Of Violence” fame—started life as a book by American best-selling author Cormac McCarthy. Dark, broody and uniquely formatted, the book is both a classic and a difficult read that presents problems to the inexperienced reader. And that’s the question: should it matter that the book can only be appreciated by those who truly value literature? Or is the point of a book to transcend those boundaries and More

Give It A Miss: 28 Weeks Later

28 Days Later: nobody in their right mind will argue with you if you include 28 Days Later in your all-time top-ten. The reason it deserves to be in the top-ten is because not only is it a classic modern-day horror film, it’s a damn good film in general. Compare it to any other film, regardless of the genre, and it’ll come out at least equal or maybe even on top. And so when the sequel came out I More

Bus Stop Nightmare

The subject we are about to get into is one that will be close to the hearts of many of you, but also somewhat far away; it’s something you may not have given much thought to but will be there, at the back of your mind, especially if you take the bus to work or college every-day–

The subject is this: the much under-rated bus-stops.

Take our bus-stop for example. It was an amazing wooden shack built by craftsmen—and women, More

Twilight sends me to sleep

Twilight. What is all the fuss about? I do not understand at all. I think its utter tripe.

I read the first book when I was travelling in Australia as my travel buddy insisted I must as it was so amazing, so I settled down to read it. I can’t say I was impressed. I thought the main character Belle was just a complete and total wet drip that needed a good slap, and Edward Cullen? Get a grip and More

Movie Review: Dog Soldiers

Neil Marshall has made some inspired horror films—top of the list has to be The Descent—but he’s also made some shockers, too, and not in he way cinematic nature intended; Doomsday, for example, the 2008 science fiction action film set in an apocalyptic Scotland, was made with an enormous budget but transpired to be laugh-out-loud bad.

Fans only recently aqcuainted with Marshall’s work might not know that long before The Descent, the director made a solid action-horror called Dog More
