Vacancy

June 18, 2007

Another Friday and another trip to the cinema. This week we went to see Vacancy, the ‘horror’ starring Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale. I didn’t have particularly high expectations for this film so I was pleasantly surprised when I didn’t hate it. The film follows the two bickering leads as their car breaks down forcing [...]

Cormack McCarthy – The Road

May 29, 2007

Apocalyptic stories fascinate me. Man’s struggle to survive when all is lost holds my imagination. I attribute that to growing up in the 80s when the threat of nuclear war was at its peak and there were dozens of post-apocalyptic tales in book and in the cinema. I also have a predilection for stories that [...]

Pirates 3: At World’s End

Warning. Here be Spoilers. Kind of. Alright, I’ll do my best to not give too much away, but I may mention a few things which may spoil your enjoyment so if you really don’t want to know anything, click away now! So, the cinema threesome (that’s me, Debbie and Debbie’s sister Jacqueline) descended upon our [...]

Get your ipod running…

August 31, 2006

Ever since Apple teamed up with Nike, in what can only be described as a huge marketing gimmick, to produce the imaginatively titled “ipod+nike” I’ve been contemplating purchasing the system. I’m not a huge running nut but I do around 20 miles a week (4 sessions of 5 miles) on our treadmill. Now and again [...]

SpamSieve

August 30, 2006

Once upon a time I thought it would be a great idea to include my email address at the top of each IPB source code file. Fast forward three years and three million spam emails and I’m glad I removed it a few years ago. Despite having my IPS emails filtered via the corporate spam [...]

Snakes on a Plane!

August 23, 2006

I’m sure you’ve heard of Snakes on a Plane as it’s been something of an internet phenomenon so much so that five days of additional shooting were ordered after the film wrapped to include dialogue proposed by fans.We (Debbie, Debbie’s sister and I) went to see this over the weekend and we weren’t disappointed. For [...]

k800i

August 23, 2006

I picked up a Sony Ericsson k800i a week ago and I’m really impressed with it.The biggest draw is the 3.2 megapixel camera which comes with autofocus, image stabilizer and a built in xenon flash. It’s capable of taking some pretty sharp pictures. It actually gives medium to low end digital cameras a run for [...]

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest

July 10, 2006

Debbie and I went to see Pirates 2 over the weekend and we both thought that it was excellent.It’s pretty much vital that you see the first Pirates of the Caribbean film before hand or you’ll be even more lost than I was during the first hour.I won’t spoil the plot and it’s impossible to [...]

Nintendo 2, Sony 0

June 26, 2006

I picked up a DS lite over the weekend.When they originally came out, I scoffed at the relatively low graphics capabilities and childish games and waited for the Sony PSP. Having a PS 2 in your hand that can play movies and connect to the internet was a huge pull.Fast forward from September 2005 to [...]
