Well it ain’t no Pitch Black, that’s for sure. It’s like the characters from the first film were transplanted into a whole different universe. It’s a hokey film with grand ideas and epic scale and is quite pompous and ambitious in its own low budget way.
That’s not to say I didn’t like it. [...]

Chronicles of Riddick
Goblet of Fire
Just found out that they were filming scenes for the next Harry Potter film in the woods behind my house at the beginning of August. Typical that I only found this out now.

Spiderman 2
A long overdue review!

Pre Season friendly
So I played for half the match on saturday – or at least, two quarters as we played four 20 minute quarters rather than two 40 minute halves. Final score was 74-0 to us and far from letting the team down, I opened the scoring with the first try of the season. Yay [...]
Ain’t it Wrong
Links that are amusing me but are wrong. So very, very wrong.
If you are easily offended then don’t look. Oh – and what are you doing here?
