Well, it’s been a while since I wrote a top ten blog, and whilst doing some reading today I spontaneously started singing ‘The Circle of Life’ from the Lion King. I thought about writing the Top 10 Disney Films… but realised that would be more difficult than… well the most difficult thing ever. I can’t…

Independence Day: Awesome or Awesome?
Picture this… You open to the sound of Neil Armstrong’s voice recording from 1969 on the moon with the view he had from that same piece of rock, with an emphasis on the fact mankind came in peace. Then, suddenly, the ground is quaking and those footsteps that should outlive the human race, the footsteps…
Holiday Time: Reading Edition
So myself and Ellen just got back from a 10 day break on the south coast of Spain. There are many types of holiday: sightseeing, hiking, camping, adventure… but the one we went on, was the lazing around doing very little except eating and sleeping holiday. We go on this holiday almost every year. We…
The Purge
Yesterday I went to see the new horror/thriller ‘The Purge’. From the same people who made ‘Insidious’ and ‘Sinister’, I was expecting something chilling and terrifying.

Top 10 films of 2012… According to Amy
I want to start by saying that in no way is this a definitive list. I’ve used this as a conversation starter for the past couple of weeks and I’ve had an insanely mixed bag response.
An Incredibly Disappointing Ending
I have recently felt extremely let down by the final pages of two different books. The first book was Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (Yes, the same story as the film with Julia Roberts in it). I loved it. It was so refreshing to read an autobiographical book that not only made me laugh, but it…
Skyfall: The Best Bond Film Yet?
The hype for the latest instalment of the Bond franchise has been beyond anything the series has seen before. Maybe it was the 4 year hiatus, or maybe it was the mild concern that the last film wasn’t exactly… great. Maybe everyone was just feeling extra patriotic after the Olympics. Who knows? But this Bond…
