Last night T and I stayed at Dad’s place, and spent a relaxing evening in front of the wood heater watching some classic movies, neither of which I had seen before Barberella is, I have to say, fantastic. I’d seen small segments of it, but I’d never seen the movie as a whole. It was [...]
Although I’ve been on leave and therefore (theoretically) have had lots of time to blog, I haven’t. So, here’s a brief rundown: – How was that rain earlier today?? That was AMAZING!! – The movie Beowulf was …. bland. Bland and violent. Did I mention bland? – I just got a new (second-hand) washing machine, [...]
UGH! The whole house reeks of men’s cologne right now. My brother came to visit this afternoon, and the bottle in his bag broke. I’m just lucky he has good taste in smells And, well, there are far worse things the house could smell of, I guess. Yesterday T and I saw the latest [...]

Next weekend, again on Foxtel – the animated Attack Of The Clones … WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
On Foxtel today, all 6 Star Wars movies, back to back …
No Paris Hilton for me! Naturally my opinion of this movie is highly biased – how couldn’t I love a Vincent Price horror flick? So I’ll just mention the “fun” things in the movie the deaf mute assistant called Igor – played by Charles Bronson (then Buchinsky) the first fight scene when a thrown object [...]
I got The Core on DVD as part of a triple-pack (the pack contained Timeline, a movie I loved and hadn’t found on DVD before). I have to admit, my expectations weren’t high. I vaguely remember it being canned when it was in the cinemas, and it seemed a little too “Armageddon” for me. Still, [...]
Movies: Until yesterday I didn’t know that there was a sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. There is – ShockTreatment. It has Richard O’Brien, Patricia Quinn, Nell Campbell, Charles Gray, Imogen Claire, and Jeremy Newson in it from RHPS, as well as Ruby Wax, Rik Mayall and our very own Barry Humphries. I don’t [...]
