Had a really good weekend. Friday night Kristy and I went over to the pub across the road for dinner and then continued drinking at home afterwards. Did some work on Saturday and whilst Kristy was at a wedding in the afternoon/evening, Caleb and I played PS2 and ate junk food. Was lots of fun [...]
This week I watched The Family Stone and Thumbsucker. Neither of the movies were fantastic and although I liked some of the characters out of The Family Stone, I didn’t feel it really lived-up to the standards of other dysfunctional family / romantic comedies (despite an all-star cast) that I’ve seen. If you have a [...]
On Friday night we rented Failure to Launch and a History of Violence – and I must say that both movies were really enjoyable. I was expecting a typical romantic comedy with Failure to Launch – something that was humorous, but not have me laughing out loud… but it surprised me and was actually funnier [...]
Last week we watched Match Point, Derailed and The Pink Panther. Match Point is a Woody Allan movie, and from what I read, you either love his movies or hate them. I haven’t seen many of his films, but I’d have to say I fall into the “Hate Them” category. I don’t know whether it [...]
This week I watched Underworld 2: Evolution and last night enjoyed a very tasty meal at Monte Zuma’s Mexican Restaurant. Underworld was good (if you like vampires vs. werewolves)…. basically picks-up from where the original Underworld movie ends and continues with lots of action. They also worked-on including a little more plot this time which [...]
Last weekend we watched a few really good movies – Memoirs of a Geisha, Brokeback Mountain and Transamerica. Each of the movies were good in their own unique way – Memoirs and Brokeback far better than Transamerica, but Trans was more of a quirky film-festival movie and no where near as big budget as the [...]
Over the weekend we watched Just Friends, The Producers and Hostel. I was amazed at how funny Just Friends was – there were parts of the movie I was literally in tears… I honestly can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard! I’m not going to spoil it, but watch-out for all the scenes [...]
On the weekend we went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and it was awesome! I’ve read some reviews that said the movie was lacking in story-line… others said that it was basically the same as the first one just with a few more special effects. So now it’s my turn to [...]
Over the weekend we were hoping to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, but it was sold-out, so instead we rented a bunch of movies and watched them instead. We saw: Broken Flowers, Shopgirl, Goal and Lord of War. Broken Flowers starred Bill Murray and featured some pretty cool music. Bill plays a [...]
On Saturday night I went to see Superman Returns and was really impressed. I’ve never been a huge fan of Superman because as a hero, he seems a bit dicky (and the fact that no one has ever been able to notice the similarity between Superman and Clarke Kent has always irked me). But other [...]
