Iron Man: A tale of two Tonys

Iron Man: A tale of two Tonys

Tony Abbott was in an Iron Man event on the weekend. Of course the government is bitching and whingeing about it saying that he should be making up policy not being all fit and healthy and stuff, but I think it will work out well for Abbott in the [...]

Jenard’s Showmance

Jenard’s Showmance

Because I suck up celebrity TV shows, magazines and internet articles like they're French champagne, it's been pretty hard to ignore the Jennifer Aniston/Gerard Butler red carpet lovefest. That's the are they together or aren't they together [...]

My, my haven’t you improved James Cameron

I know what I'm doing for the rest of the day. Watching the Academy Awards. Actually I don't give a toss about the Oscars, I just watch it for the dresses. I wonder if anyone will have a Hayley Bracken moment. I'm tipping no, because they pay [...]

TV show and movie remakes? Yes or no?

V starts on TV here on Sunday night. That's the new V not the old Von the SciFi channel that I've been watching for the last two years or so. God I love that show. I just hope they've done a good job on the remake. My favourite scene--when the half [...]

Nine out of 100

I am having the worst run with movies lately. Last week I took myself to see Nine, potential Oscar nominee, full of Oscar winners actors (Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard et al), sounds good doesn't it? Well it [...]

Up in the Air is all hot air

Up in the Air is all hot air

Have you noticed the lack of quality movies around this year? Last year it was all Slumdog Millionaire, Milk, Frost Nixon, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Revolutionary Road and The Reader. Actually it was an embarrassment of riches and I was [...]

It was pretty shit, Sherlock

It was pretty shit, Sherlock

Hankering for a night at the flicks, I took the boy to a man friendly movie--Sherlock Holmes.  Love Robert Downey Jnr, love that cheating cad Jude Law, love Sherlock Holmes, the cleverest detective in town (or London anyway) and love, love, love [...]
