12 Christmas (Time) Movies
It’s that time of year already, the official start of Christmas. The tree has been up (and down thanks to the cats) since the 1st of December and the Waitrose, …
The Doors
Watched The Doors last night for the first time, on the MacBook Pro with the screen mirrored to a 32″ flat screen TV. Unfortunately I could only connect via PC …
Blood Diamond
Watched Blood Diamond last night. It must of been good as dispite still felling ill I managed to stay focussed on it for the whole 140 minutes, which is rare …
Music & Lyrics
All Sands wanted to do last night when I got back was chill out and watch a movie so it seemed fair to let her choose which one. I forgot …
Hot Fuzz
I finally got round to watching Hot Fuzz while I was away this time – on the MBP in the hotel room, which was pretty cool. The MBP was certainly …
The Pursuit of Happyness
Wow what an amazing film! Based on a true story never can one person have had so much bad luck, yet stay so positive. Well acted, with a well told …
A Good Year
Have to admit this was a pleasant enough film considering it had Russel Crowe in it, was based in France and was such a cliche it wasn’t even funny! I …
3:10 To Yuma & The Game Plan
A couple of plane movies that turned out much better than I expected. I picked the 3:10 To Yuma as I hadn’t seen a western for a long time, and …
Spider Man 3 & The Flying Scotsman
Watched Spider Man 3 and The Flying Scotsman on the flight over last Sunday. Enjoyed Spider Man 3 but it felt a little ‘old’ as this was the 3rd one, …
The Bourne Ultimatum
Finally got round to watching The Bourne Ultimatum – I told you I wasn’t a avid movie watcher! – and without doubt it as good a Trilogy as you could …
The Prestige
The Prestige is one of the best films I have ever seen, made all the better for the fact that I wasn’t really that bothered about it when Sands said …
Children of Men
Weird, would be the simplest way to describe Children of Men. Had never heard of it, and have no idea why we recorded it, but it was pretty powerful and …
The Departed
I had intended to watch The Departed a long time ago but somehow or other always seemed to miss it. Anyway we had a couple of hours to kill in …
Mission Impossible III
Not a big fan of Tom Cruise, although sort of liked Jerry McGuire for a bit, but have to say that as escapist action movies the MI series have been …
The Devil Wears Prada
A perfect film for the end of Boxing day as it requires no brain power at all and a large amount of wine! The Devil Wears Prada is actually not …
Syriana and The Holiday
Have only watched a couple of movies so far this Christmas, Syriana and The Holiday. I enjoyed Syriana a lot, but found it too hard to follow to say it …
