I bought this book a while ago, inexplicably moving it to the bottom of my unread book pile in favour of other books. I just never felt in the mood for it. Rather interesting book outside my normal genre of reading. So, this weekend when I was bored out of my skull, I finally decided […]
I cannot emphasize enough how fucking horrible this shite is. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is one of the most vile worthless pieces of “entertainment” to be put on film since the infamous Laserblast. It’s a toss-up but Laserblast still sucks a little bit more. DO NOT SEE THIS FILM. There is very […]
Peter and the Shadow Thieves has finally been released and now I’ve read it. If you read and liked the previous entry in this series Peter and the Star Catchers, you’ll also like this book as well. If you didn’t, you just might like this anyway. As prequels to JM Barrie’s famous Peter Pan, they […]
(I will warn you before I get to spoilers, so read on without fear) Ah, yes, I went book shopping yesterday with Adrian. Book shopping is a wholly satisfying thing in almost every way, even if you buy nothing. But this trip was a success because I bought the new Phule’s Errand book (sure to […]
Well I had high, high hopes for this film because I really enjoyed the original. But, YARRR, this one disappointed. It’s not that it was terrible, but that’s a far cry from good sez I. The biggest failing was it was far, far, too long and lost its way in the middle never to be […]
I bought and read the third tome in this excellent series today. Each book is better than the one before it and this book makes author Heather Brewer three for three. The new book has my least favourite cover but it’s the best of the three, so I’ll forgive the irritatingly pouty cover. We have […]
Market Boy, a play by David Elridge was at the National Theatre in London. It was advertised as a comedy about losing your innocence whilst selling shoes in the market set to a 1980s soundtrack. The soundtrack was the best part. Although I liked it, it started out okay and never got any better, and […]
I finally got the chance to see Avenue Q whilst attending the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas, but that version is a 90-minute edited version (see link at bottom of review). While in London this past week I had noticed the London premiere of Avenue Q was on 6-1-06 and I managed to get […]
We saw Mary Poppins at the Prince Edward Theatre in London, 29 May 2006. If you like the movie, you will like this play. If you love the movie, you will like this play. If you hate the movie, you will absolutely despise this play with a passion. In true Disney fashion, they’ve taken the […]
I’ve wanted to see Avenue Q since I saw the poster hanging up in New York City some time ago. Until now I haven’t managed to see it, but I finally got the chance whilst attending the National Hardware Show. Seats were easy to get which explains why it’s closing in two weeks. I loved […]
