Where does the time go?
Wow, I hadn’t realised how long it had been since I had posted. I have a very good reason though. Promise. Our school district is facing a significant budget shortfall for the next financial year and is looking to cut … Continue reading

More evidence that the US Republican party is selling its soul to keep their hands in the till
Once upon a time the Republican party believed in small government, personal responsibility and a hands off attitude to people’s lives. Now they are actually writing legislation to interfere the the private life of one specific person. I’m writing of … Continue reading

The U.S. Patriot Act, protecting Americans from ROTH-IRA investing Brits and Extra Strong Mints
As a law abiding US Resident Alien I wasn’t expecting to cross paths with the US Patriot Act much. So I was surprised that in the last week or so I’ve had two interactions with it. About a week ago … Continue reading

The Turn of The Screw
Wonderful production with really cool set design that aided the creepy atmosphere. (A wing back chair seated in the centre of leafless trees. It allowed a sense of being both inside and outside at the same time, suffocated by the … Continue reading

Hide and Seek
Scary!!!!!! Very scary. I had to hide behind my fingers several times and the tension was … tense. I expect the afficionados of the genre had it all worked out in short order but I was surprised by the ‘twist’ … Continue reading
King Arthur (Director’s cut dvd)
Sadly disappointing. There was a really good film in here somewhere but, unhappily, it was throttled at birth by person/persons unknown. An excellent cast, decent budget, talented crew, a novel take on traditional characters and yet … I don’t care … Continue reading
Sideways
Overrated. I just don’t understand how this movie got so much Oscar buzz when Kinsey was almost entirely ignored. Sideways ranged from awful to brilliant, parts of it just made me want to take a nap while other scenes were … Continue reading
