It’s that time of year again! In December I always like to take the opportunity to sit back, look at the previous 12 months and remember my favourite moments. I’ll make lists (I do love a good list) of favourite movies, TV shows, books, events and so on. I’m starting with movies this year. So,… Continue reading Favorite movies of 2017
It’s been a while since we’ve had a bad movie night and that needed to be fixed. So we set a date and got to thinking up with a few titles. Before I tell you about the movies let me tell you the information that led us to choose them. Title: Surf Nazis Must Die… Continue reading Bad movie night: The worst bad movies
Financial status: Better than you’d imagine from a person who now technically doesn’t have a job, but not exactly adding to my savings either. Mostly wearing: Very casual clothes. I’m in some weird annual leave/unemployed limbo until 17th July. It’s amazing. Mostly eating: Entirely too much. What with leaving do’s, catching up with old friends, and graduating I… Continue reading June roundup
Remember Prometheus? Remember how excited all fans of Alien were to hear that there would be a new movie? And how unimpressed they were? The general response seemed to be approximately along the lines of, “huh?” Which is kind of a shame, right? I mean, I wasn’t one of those kids who was really into the… Continue reading Movie review: Alien Covenant
For the past couple of months, I’ve been writing monthly roundups, having stolen the idea from Gordon and Siobhan. So far, I like the idea. It’s a bit like a status report and I do love any opportunity to monitor… well… anything, really. So, without any further ado, here’s my May round up: Financial status: Not bad, given… Continue reading May roundup
My major concern about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 was that it wouldn’t be as fun as the first movie. For me, the first movie was enjoyable because it didn’t take itself seriously; it was tongue in cheek, silly, whimsical and, as a result, fun. I’ll basically watch anything Marvel produces but I definitely… Continue reading Movie review: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2
I like comic book movies. I prefer Marvel to DC and I prefer smaller comic book houses to either. I quite like the X-Men series, although, on the whole, I think I find the Avengers series more fun. Anyway, usually, I’ll go along when any new comic book movie comes along just to check it… Continue reading Movie review: Logan
When was the last time I had a bad movie night? Judging by the last post I did about it, it was over a year ago. That doesn’t surprise me much. A good bad movie night requires organisation, free time and money for beer and pizza. This time last year, Team Bad Movie Night had… Continue reading Bad movie night with a buddy cop theme
If you watched the most recent series of South Park you’ll be familiar with their lambasting of societies current tendency towards nostalgia. Here, the “member berries” constantly interrupt each other with comforting recollections, “member Chewbacca?”, “member Ghostbusters?” occasionally interspersed with less fun things about the past like, “member when gays couldn’t get married?” As usual,… Continue reading Movie review: Trainspotting 2
When I saw the trailer I thought, “Nah.” When I read the reviews I wasn’t much more interested. When people started talking about it at work, I was surprised. Thing is, La La Land kind of exploded and I couldn’t figure out why, so I decided I had better go see it. I didn’t think… Continue reading Movie review: La La Land
