Back to the Future gadgets we’re still waiting for
This year is the 25th anniversary of Back To The Future, which makes me feel both nostalgic and really, really old. The trilogy of movies has been re-released in a Blu-Ray box set, with some extra never-seen-before scenes in the features. Back To The Future 2 partly takes place in 2015, which I … [Read more...]

Shrek Forever After: Dork Review
Although Shrek has become a critical whipping boy over the course of its sequels, you can’t discount its success. Four high-grossing films, and a Puss In Boots spin-off next year, or so Wikipedia informs me. Even the mighty Pixar haven’t yet managed a franchise with this much sheer volume. But … [Read more...]

There are enough positive reviews of Inception on the internet for me to wallpaper my house, without having to re-use a single one. By the time I finally saw this universally acclaimed modern classic, I somewhat wanted to hate it. I thought it might make this post more interesting for the reader, … [Read more...]
