THAT Jonathan Butler Album

By

At my ripe old 40 something age I can finally say that on Friday 9 November 2012 I asked someone for their autograph FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. As the Apprentice Longhair said; "Don't worry Dad now you can share the excitement that I feel dreaming about getting a One Direction autograph!" I still don't know if she was dissing me or not. Anyway, I still envy my kids for having such an awesome father! You may well ask who the lucky object of my 'autograph affection' was? None other than … [Read more...] about THAT Jonathan Butler Album

Total Recall (2012) Review

By

I am unashamedly a massive fan of a decent Sci-Fi flick, especially one that uses the awesomeness of High Def and brings amazing visuals for my eyeballs to feast on! As far as that goes, Total Recall, the remake of the 1990 film (starring Arnold “I pull glowing ping pong balls out of my nose” Schwarzenegger) is a superb success! I was grinning from ear to ear watching the visuals of a film that looks like it was dropped in a cauldron of “Cool” overnight, pulled out and left to ooze and drip the … [Read more...] about Total Recall (2012) Review

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012) Review

By

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is a romantic drama that stars Steve Carell and Keira Knightley. Yes, you read right, Steve Carell in a drama. You wouldn’t normally expect one of the funniest men in America to be in a serious film, but he pulls it off superbly. There are some funny moments in the movie, but if you go into it expecting a comedy you will be disappointed. As far as romantic dramas go, Seeking a Friend is great. The film centers around Dodge (played by Carell) who is … [Read more...] about Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012) Review
