Off again

Off again

I wanted to go in today, but it was kinda insisted that I stay in bed. Of course, I got itchy feet and was up a few minutes after the house was empty. But I guess it was right, it's probably best that I'm at home today, I'm still a bit poorly and I'll definitely go back tomorrow, and there'll probably be lots of work to do, always a plus. …

Unbreakable

Unbreakable

I wanted to watch Unbreakable last night because I just knew any film with Bruce in it was going to be worth watching... I was wrong. I suddenly realised it was over and I'd not been touched by it at all. Both actors were good, the settings and scenes were all mysterious but they didn't stitch together properly. It spent so long trying to persuade Willis' character that he's unbreakable …

Feeling crafty

I've just returned from the most magical of shops, a new discovery of mine - Hobbycraft. The adverts on the TV are typically annoying but they obviously worked on me because I hotfooted it over there and could have spent hours and hours in that store. Unfortunately, I managed to only stay there for an hour because I (very sadly) wanted to catch the end of the Coronation Street omnibus. …

Branching out

Branching out

There's some very interesting work going on at Pixar: The Incredibles looks very good, and the cute lamb in Bounding is especially sweet. I'm glad that Pixar are splitting from Disney after the next couple of films, because it seems completely unfair that Disney get to do whatever they like - as long as they pay the right money. The right to make sequel after sequel even if Pixar don't …

Winter

I just finished reading the whole of the Heat special double Christmas issue, with all the TV listings and I'm sulking because I can't find Mary Poppins in there anywhere. I know she has to be in there someplace, but I can't find her.

Recent events

Okay, so here's the lowdown on what's been going on recently... My love of Queen is still going on unabated, I listen to them a lot and have recently started singing loudly to Bohemian Rhapsody and falling in love with it all over again. I got a workout DVD, which is mostly dancing which is great because you're so busy concentrating on getting the moves right, you barely notice you've …

Cinematic

I met up with my brother today, and we went to the cinema to see Pirates Of The Carribean. It was really good, although a little unsettling, that I went to see Orlando Bloom in a movie – see if he could shake off the elf-ness – and came out loving Johnny Depp instead.

Time

Okay, so each second that I'm living is going about as fast as a snail, and yet I never seem to get anything done. Not that I have anything that's particularly pressing to get done but it's kinda annoying. Mother and I just watched Now and Then that I recorded from yesterday, I love the music in that film!

Pre-emptive

Pre-emptive

Deep Blue Sea was on last night and I hadn't seen it before. I knew, however, that Samuel L Jackson died in the middle, and time was ticking on and I complained that he hadn't died yet. Two seconds before he got eaten. Oops.

So-so

So-so

We went to see Final Destination 2 last night and it was really good. It wasn't as good as the first one as there was less plot and more gore, but any film that shows a man getting a ladder in his eye, a boy being squashed by a sheet of glass and a guy being sliced into pieces by barbed wire, that's gotta be pretty damn good. Of course, …

Sick

Sick

I don’t feel so good today. I had the day off and slept most of it and still all I want to do is crawl back under the covers. In more positive news, we just watched Ocean's Eleven and Brad Pitt has never looked finer.

I can never help myself. I have a gorgeous apple and blackberry crumble sitting in front of me. I know that it's hot, just out of the oven, but still... I'd sacrifice ending up with a burnt tongue for any kind of crumble, it has to be my favourite dessert! I thought I was having a useless day, I was trying to achieve things but they weren't going right. I …

Lord of the Rings

Lord of the Rings

It’s just... amazing. I mean, even that word doesn’t do it justice, I’m honestly speechless about it and there are few things that can have that effect on me. Two thoughts – Orlando Bloom, beautiful man! I could never get a crush on him, but my god... he’s beautiful! And secondly, the scenery? I can’t even begin to describe it. I love a film that I can get totally lost …

Britney

Britney

I just watched Britney in her film Crossroads. It was a lot better than I thought it would be, which is a sneaky way of not really giving you any opinion on it at all. Britney was also a better actress than I thought she would be. Ha. I didn’t really buy the name Lucy, though. Of course, the main problem with the film is that I don’t get on …

007

We went to see the James Bond film yesterday, I really enjoyed it! I know it's been around for a while, we were going to see it before but somehow never got round to it. It is good though, and Halle Berry, she has perfect skin.
