Happy Feet
Arrrrggggggg. Huge potential lost in the ‘message’. The animated dancing and singing penguins are fabulous. And for quite a while it’s rather cute. Then it seriously goes south in all sort of awful ways which I won’t detail ‘cos I … Continue reading
Flushed Away
Fun. Animation from Aardman and DreamWorks. Not as beautiful as the claymation but quite distracting. Humour from the British side of the pond which was enjoyable. Slugs rock! Current temperature 57F/14C or 37F/3C depending on WitWiWG?
The Pursuit of Happyness

Little Miss Sunshine
Brilliant. Finally a movie I can unequivocally recommend you make every effort to see. This movie was such a great surprise; I’d been expecting to hate it given everything I’d read and seen about it. A great ensemble cast, there … Continue reading

The Black Dahlia
Sensual overload. If you have a thing for film noir this is the movie for you. Gorgeously filmed, it reeked 40s L.A. Visually stunning but, oh my god, absolutely stark raving bonkers in terms of plot and storylines. By the … Continue reading
The Guardian
Pure popcorn. Yeah, it goes on too long and one might describe it as An Officer and a Gentleman Light but it was a good date movie and met all our expectations. Kevin Costner was great, stoically handsome and with … Continue reading

Is the shine wearing off google
So I’m a google kinda gal and almost never use any other search engine but given their capitulation to the Chinese authorities, breaking their own motto of ‘do no evil’, I’m less inclined to be monogamous. So I had this … Continue reading

Weather is in two minds!
So I took this picture Sunday morning. I was hanging out in the kitchen in my sleepwear and the light/warmth coming through the window tempted me to go out and snap some shots. The sky was so bright and blue. … Continue reading
