I am fan, but this is Woeful Transporter 1 was fabulously B grade but at its core, a good vehicle for a thin, but action-packed, story.  Transporter 2 was ludicrously funny a decent-enough plot and good martial arts screnes to keep you interested.  Transporter 3 however .. well: Jason Statham & Luc Besson – you [...]

Book Review “Eats, Shoots, & Leaves”

January 20, 2009

by Lynne Truss Okay, so on the surface, a book described as “Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuaction” doesn’t exactly sound  like a riveting read, and it’s not – but, it will have you laughing out loud in the most public of places.  I’m not a grammarian, but Ms Truss possesses a command of English that [...]

Never under the influence of white spirits (.. shall I rent a movie again) With a score of 5.3/10 from IMDB and an inclination towards action and sci-fi, I thought this might fill my needs.  Oh, how wrong I was. Vin Diesel never has never had a great screen presence, especially when he’s the star [...]

TV Review “Pushing Daises” Season 2

January 5, 2009

Wilting It seems that the executives, eager to tone down the zaniness of the show to appeal to a broader [more stupid] audience, have had their way with the vigour that blessed Season 1. The music is subdued, more conventional and much less original than that featured in the first season. The narration, once brilliantly [...]

Plot (source): The community reels after an incident on a suburban train. A young cop, beset with doubt and [...]
