A film about killing Bono from U2? Really? Well, almost. Killing Bono is roughly based from Neil McCormick’s memoir Killing Bono: I was Bono’s Doppelganger, Neil McCormick being the lead singer of a band that started at the same time as U2. The film follows the McCormick brothers’ attempts to make it in the music [...]
Date Night
Tina Fey and Steve Carell together in a movie – what more could you possibly want? With a wonderful cast, Date Night is probably the funniest film I have seen in a long while. Fey and Carell play the Fosters, who live a pretty mundane suburban life. After finding that their friends are splitting up, [...]
Beauty and the Beast
Everybody loves a good old Disney film, right? I never grew up watching Disney films – shock, horror. But I watched Beauty and the Beast the other day, the 1991 version. It was ok. Nah, it was good. What can I say? I have no love for Disney films, having not grown up watching them, [...]
Gracie Gracie Gracie

Last year, 128 countries participated 4616 cities and towns switched off their lights for an hour 1.3 billion people cared about the world. The largest voluntary action [...]
I love you Tolkien, love you vampires too
Well, today is the day where I have been told to choose options ready for next year. Surprise surprise, Sod’s Law, the module options I had been hoping to choose are not even offered anymore. I’m sorry, Tolkien, I guess it was just never meant to be. Shame, I knew we would've made it work. [...]
Asian love
Now, I’ve just been procrastinating, trying not to write one of my beefy essays, and where do I go to? Youtube. Yup. I came across this one video, a response against a “racist” American girl ranting about Asians in libraries. The video is hilarious; I was laughing so much I was close to crying. Gotta [...]
Norwegian Wood
So I went to London this weekend, looking forward to Tran Anh Hung’s film adaptation of Haruki Murakami’s amazing novel Norwegian Wood; yes, taken from the title of a Beatles’ song. And what can I say? It was all right, a pretty faithful adaptation, and brought up some scenes I had totally forgotten. But there [...]
