Who’s the moral majority now?
So all of you out there who voted for George Bush because he was a “good christian“, how are you liking your guy now? Clearly electing government officials because they profess a particular flavour of faith is no guarantee of … Continue reading

Just Like Heaven
Fun. Yes it’s a piece of fluff but it’s fun fluff. I like Reese Witherspoon as a comedienne and she’s good here. Mark Ruffalo doesn’t really float my boat as a romantic hero but he doesn’t do too badly in … Continue reading

The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Taut. We’re not big scary movie fans but this one cranked the tension without being too gruesome. I didn’t buy the whole “based on a true story” side of things but certainly it kept me entertained for the full run … Continue reading

Sad news today
One of the greatest footballers ever died today. George Best was one of the finest players ever to grace the world of football. A later addition to the Busby Babes and hero of all who call Old Traford home, who … Continue reading
The Brothers Grimm
Disappointing. Huge potential, unrealised. Some stunning visuals and a couple of stand out performances, especially Jonathan Pryce, but it was missing that je ne sai quoi that would make it a successful and satisfying movie. Current temperature 37F/3C

Red Priest
The third performing arts event. A spectacular extravaganza! Wow. The skill of the musicians was incredible. That, combined with their great showmanship, made for a stunning experience. Who’d have thought that Baroque music could be so thrilling! Current temperature 37F/3C

Arena Dances
The second performing arts event was the Arena Dances troupe. Dance is not as popular as other performance art here in Morris and as expected the auditorium was not completely filled. A shame really as the dance groups that come … Continue reading

Flightplan (includes spoilers)
Well … there were periods of tension and I enjoyed seeing the ‘backroom’ parts of the aircraft. Ultimately this movie didn’t quite hang together completely satisfactory. Jodie Foster’s character was hard to connect with despite what had happened to her. … Continue reading

The Corpse Bride
Disappointing. After all the positive reviews I expected to have a great night at the movies. Visually, very beautiful, for sure but I didn’t give a rip about the characters and, I must confess, I actually fell asleep which is … Continue reading
