Harry Potter 7 part 1
Tense. Despite having read the book and knowing what happens this is an incredibly tense movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat for its entire length. The visuals are quite stunning and the ending left me wanting … Continue reading

Day and Knight
Yawn. This movie can’t quite make its mind up what it is, there’s just not enough wit involved to pull it above the mediocre level for which it has settled. The action is not quite spectacular enough to be … Continue reading
Ah yes, this is winter!
So we’ve had snow, of and on, these last few months but today was the first time I needed to shovel knowing that if I didn’t the sun wouldn’t fix the situation. The storm didn’t bring much in precipitation but … Continue reading

Head Girl by Susan Gilbert, September 2010 They are a rambunctious rabble, gathered at one’s table. One wonders if one has the mix right? Geoffrey seems to have knuckled under one’s latest diktat, even if he’s gone all Brussels on … Continue reading

Ramona and Beezus

Alice in Wonderland
Erratic. This was a little like a roller coaster ride, zooming up to brilliantly good and down to ditch water dull. Can’t recommend it really but there are some great little bits and pieces hidden along the way. The visuals … Continue reading
Iron Man 2
Dull. Yeah, so this was a huge disappointment and didn’t pass the WeatherGrrrl sleep test. Luckily I don’t live in the real world where ticket prices are obscene so my little nap didn’t cost the earth. Popcorn and soda were … Continue reading
