I’m watching all of Woody Allen’s films in chronological order.
Set in Paris, a struggling writer on the brink of a loveless marriage seeks solace in the city’s many nocturnal delights. Featuring a suicidal young woman, a cameo by Toulouse-Lautrec, and some delightful shots of Paris and its surrounding countryside.
Is this Woody Allen’s “Midnight …
I’m watching all of Woody Allen’s films in chronological order.
I’ll confess, I tried watching What’s Up Tiger Lilly a few years ago. I didn’t get more than 40 minutes into it before switching it off in a mixture of boredom and disgust.
I’m not sure who first came up with the idea of revoicing a …
As I watched Woody Allen’s latest film – Midnight in Paris – I realised that there are so many films of his that I haven’t seen.
So, I have a brand new resolution for 2012.
Watch every single film Woody Allen has made.
In chronological order.
Posting reviews on this blog.
Woody has made over 40 films – so …
To whoever is responsible for this QR code marketing monstrosity: go home.
Seriously, pack up the tools of your trade, go home, pour yourself a stiff drink, and weep at what you have done.

Here’s a fun game for all the family! Play “spot the QR code” on this poster…

Seen in the latest issue of Sport Magazine – this rather interesting QR advert for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
This is a really well executed campaign which should serve as a template to other advertisers. There are, of course, one or two issues that I have with it. Let’s start by zooming …
Well, looks like I was right. The good folks at ShowFilmFirst did treat us to an advanced screening of Tron: Legacy. They specifically asked us to embargo our reviews until 2200 tonight. That’s given me plenty of time to ruminate on just how disappointed this movie left me.
This review is spoiler …
I’m a big fan Show Film First. A company which aims to get people to preview screenings of films – for free.
There’s also a confusingly similarly named company called See Film First with broadly similar aims. I’m not sure what, if any, relationship the two have.
Show Film First concentrate mainly on bloggers …
Last night, thanks to the lovely people at SeeFilmFirst, I went to see a free preview of Harry Brown starring Michael Caine.
Harry Brown is an unremittingly violent film. Utterly devoid of sympathetic characters, it offers a terrifying glimpse into the fear, violence and sadism on an unnamed council estate.
Every scene is wired with …
Just seen 500 Days of Summer – a perfectly adequate Rom Com. On the walk back, Liz and I were discussing getting divorced. For tax reasons. Neither of us could think of any tax advantages for divorced couples, but it lead us down an interesting conversational route.
A fairly standard ploy in …
A long time ago…
Ten years ago, I posted on usenet that I’d watched a bootleg of The Phantom Menace. I discovered the post recently and it got me thinking about how little progress has been made in the digital download arena.
Picture the scene, it’s my first year at university and, like any good geek, …
