Thinking about the Muppets January 24, 2012

On Sunday I went to see The Muppets. Being a Generation X child who was six years old in 1979 when the first film was released I had high expectations. I had been following the stream of trailers leading up to the film’s official release. I had been sad when I realised it would be […]

what I did on my holidays January 23, 2012

I had a beautiful holiday in Tasmania and it was sad to come home last Friday evening to stinky, hot Queensland. We had one hot day in Tassie where the forecast was 33 degrees. The locals were talking of nothing else but the weather. We Queenslanders felt a little like Mick Dundee, “Call that hot, […]

Christmas Countdown day 9 December 8, 2011

Well there are so many questions about this film. My first one is when did we get so skimpy with the size of our Christmas paper hats? These ones are monsters!

Not romantic or funny March 13, 2011

Last night I watched 27 Dresses, just to see what I might have missed when it was at the movies. The answer to that question is nothing. Sure, I like James Marsden and Judy Greer and the guy from 30 Rock whose name I can’t remember. I don’t watch Gray’s Anatomy so the appeal of […]
