I love The Calvino. He never writes the same book twice, much unlike the rest of the world’s authors who tend to rehash the same concept to sell a fair few copies to make some monies. Why do I like him? He is just too original. Great Italian man, Italo Calvino – I had to [...]
One Day
Emma and Dexter meet on St Swithuns Day and the film charts their lives on every July 15th for 20 years when sometimes they are friends, sometimes lovers, or sometimes something else entirely. Anne Hathaway is a delight as Emma, the only issue being her unrealistic aging over 20 years. Jim Sturgess is on fine [...]
It means nothing to me, oh Vienna…
Lies, utter lies. I really like Vienna: the food’s great, most things are within walking distance, and the pickpockets are really easy to pick out (stay away from the open market, unless you’re brave, or stupid, I mean brave). So I was with a tour group and we had a personal guided tour of the [...]
The Inbetweeners Movie
Four teenagers finish sixth form and go on holiday to Malia. Pretty simple concept, pretty hilarious film. For those who haven’t seen the TV series it doesn’t really matter; the four main characters Will, Simon, Jay, and Neil are each summed up very well in the first 15 minutes. The actors do what they do [...]
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
There have been a fair few awful reviews of this last instalment of the Transformers trilogy – but shock, horror – I quite liked it. It is by far better than the second film, but of course nothing can beat the first. The film traces the Autobots as they race against the Decepticons to find [...]
Bridesmaids
Utter hilarity. Kristen Wiig stars as Annie who becomes her best friend’s maid of honour and tries to plan everything leading up to the nuptials, but of course disaster ensues and not everything goes to plan. From bachelorette party to bridal shower to friendship itself – nothing ever seems to go right in Annie’s out [...]
U2 at Glastonbury
Spectacular. Awesome. Wonderful. I was unable to go to Glastonbury to see my all-time favourite band perform so I had to watch it online. And even so – what a treat! Friday was U2’s first performance in about 25 years to an audience that was not their own. This shows just how big the band [...]
The Killers at Hard Rock Calling
The sun was out, and so were the clouds on the first night of Hard Rock Calling on Friday. Whilst some music fans were over in Glastonbury, I was in Hyde Park watching Michael Kiwanuka, Kaiser Chiefs, and The Killers as they performed for the festival which marked its 40th birthday on Friday. By late [...]
