Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Hancock: 3 of 22
They always say never judge a book by its cover, but that also applies to DVDs, and I've been avoiding this one because the cover makes it look like some sort of chav fest (or whatever the American equivalent would be). But finally I decided to give it a try after reading a couple of reviews that said it was pretty good. ==... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Wanted (2008): 4 of 28
In my last film review I described the film as the weirdest I'd seen for a long time, this I have to describe as the worst I've seen for a long time. It's not often I watch adult movies (no not those sorts of adult movies, tsk!), because the kids take over the xbox and put kids films on, so I was really disappointed in this f... More..

Computers & Technology > Cell Phone Reviews Cell phone reviews: Apple's iPhone: 3 of 15
As usual I'm miles behind everyone else when it comes to technology and I've only just entered the world of mobile browsing by buying myself an iPhone.

Entertainment > TV Show Reviews TV show reviews: Bones: 2 of 10
Bones is one of my favourite TV series'. The credits state that its based on the books by Kathy Reichs, however, even though most TV programmes/films are a bit different to the books, Bones is completely different. The main character, Doctor Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel), bears no resemblance to the character in the b... More..

I am coming up on 40 at a rate of knots, and I've been pondering on the old saying 'life begins at forty', this has made me look back at my first 40 years and wonder what else could happen in the next 40.

Arts & Humanities > American Literature Book reviews: The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown: 7 of 23
This is my second read through of the Da Vinci Code, I first read it before the film, and then watched the film, which was of course a huge disappointment as most film adaptations are. So I thought I'd give it another read. Synopsis The book follows Robert Langdon who is an expert on icons and all things symbolic. He's gues... More..
