Day 77: Nice
AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 LOUSY TUNES
Read post

I was now heading north on my comfy, soundproofed train, and increasingly getting worried about my route. The blissful silence and sound free rocking movement (now that’s what I call rocking) had lulled me to sleep, and when I woke up I realise[…]

Courting Disaster
Read post

Some of the reviews of 10th District Court (a film which doesn’t even really have an English title) have noted the storytelling majesty of a film which is completely set in a courtroom. Courtroom dramas have all the key points of decent drama a[…]

Day 76: Monaco
AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 LOUSY TUNES
Read post

One Night In Bangkokm being patronised.

Stop Of The Pops
Read post

I feel very uncomfortable. VERY uncomfortable. I agree with Noel Edmonds. The BBC are making a massive mistake in axing Top Of The Pops. Perhaps I wouldn’t put it in such cold hard business terms as Edmonds, as just the loss of a brand. But hav[…]

Not So Hard Anymore
Read post

Most of the reviews of the terrific pedophilia two hander Hard Candy have made reference to the lingering castration scene. It is a wonderful scene, both playful and horrific, tastefully done tastelessness. However what most of the reviews have faile[…]

Day 73: Istanbul (Not Constantinople)
AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 LOUSY TUNES
Read post

You just can’t get a boat our of Israel it seems. Don’t get me wrong, I was enjoying all the chicken soup and the general hospitality, whilst clearly not necessarily approving of the socio-political situation. Decent oranges though, almos[…]
