Posted on 16/7/2007 by WeatherGrrrl

Yes, the experiments continue, adventures with the bottle (dye that is) are amusing the locals. I must say I enjoyed being a blonde but it was pretty hard work keeping up with the colour creep. Redying so frequently costs time … Continue reading →

The Upside of Anger

Posted on 16/7/2007 by WeatherGrrrl

Oddity. It was great to watch a movie, for once, where the main protagonists were women. While I found some of the personalities irritating from time to time it was still interesting to follow the lives of these women. Joan … Continue reading →

The Descent

Posted on 6/7/2007 by WeatherGrrrl

Brilliant. I loved this movie. Yes it’s disturbing because the hero is the bad guy but it’s done with such panache and great performances that I went with it. What I especially liked was that I didn’t know how they … Continue reading →

Disturbia

Posted on 4/7/2007 by WeatherGrrrl

Scared silly. You may not be but I was. Not a bad retelling of Rear Window, with a number of shocks along the way to its inevitable conclusion. Attractive cast, wonderfully creepy bad guy (David Morse) and an interesting mum … Continue reading →
