A new section for my site which I’ve spent the last 2 weeks building in earnest for launch.
TechniCian (feel the pun) will be covering technology related news and reviews of unnecessary consumer electronics I have bought recently; on a whim, with a grin or in the bin.
Other new subsites could include MagiCian, where I discuss […]

Massive Boners

I’m in eager anticipation of the announcements for this year’s whopping City bonuses, the bouncy hyperbole around the amounts being paid and the reports of gratuitous, wanton splurging by M&A bankers around London. Daily Mail reports…

Little Miss Sunshine (2006) 8/10

cute, quirky indie film. Similar in tone to Me and You and Everyone We Know but with Steve Carrell on good form. Ending is ace.

Laberinto del Fauno, El (2006) 10/10
2007-01-30 23:40

The Prestige (2006) 9/10

Gripping MagiCian tale of two warring Victorian tricksters. Batman versus Wolverine - ultimate head to head. And Scarlett looks ace in this. Awesome.

Jesus Camp (2006) 8/10

Mindblowing and terrifying doc about Bible Camps for kids in the US. 25% of US citizens are Evangelical Christians, 75% of the children are home-schooled (i.e. science is wrong blah blah) and the narrow-minded, brainwashing shit that goes on puts Al-Queda to shame. Watch trailer

I think this film was purely made to show to Rappers to try and get them to stop buying diamond encrusted spinners for their Rolls Royce Phantom.
