Tweet Music and Lyrics – Marc Lawrence (II) Grant does a great Grant. Cary I mean. But the point applies equally well to the old eye-twinkler’s natural heir in the charm stakes – step forward please Mr Hugh John Mungo (I kid you not – kept that one a bit quiet Hugh-baby) Grant. Charm is […]

Tweet Munich – Director Steven Spielberg “Inspired by real events” opens this movie. And it troubles me. Do we owe the 11 Israeli athletes murdered at Munich anything less than the truth? Not the absolute truth, that may not be known to anyone. But if we are to put their story at the heart of […]

Tweet Dialogues With God (1) You must find it hard to welcome everybody to heaven with millions arriving every day. I suppose the Omnipotence comes in handy.

TweetThe Apprentice – Week 10 Mystery solved. 4 million screams a week of why? why? why? finally answered. The reason Sralan kept the unspeakable Michael Sobollocks on board and in the boardroom is because he was willing to do absolutely anything to win: lie, cheat, grovel, beg, plead, dupe, you name the device and Michael […]

TweetMargot at The Wedding – Noah Baumbach This is a HUIAM – a Head Up Its Ass Movie. 93 minutes of lose-the-will-to-live self-obsessed, narcissistic, articulate anal angst set in alternative universe California. This farrago of misused intelligence manages to stereotype absolutely every character, gender and emotion and then self-abuse them to exhaustion. This movie gives […]

TweetThe Apprentice – Update Week 8 Sralan ain’t so tough – he reprieved the unspeakable Michael Sobollocks this week after the best bit of blatant sucking-up seen on TV since the abject grovelling of the Chairman of the BBC apologising to Tony Blair for telling the truth about Iraq. Fresh from his national triumph in […]

Tweet Mission Impossible 3 – Director JJ Abrams It’s a toss-up – a day at Alton Towers or MI3? Both will offer you a series of white knuckle rides with no other purpose than to pump adrenaline and make your knuckles white. True Tom Cruise runs a lot; emotes a lot; and plots a little. […]

Tweet Against my will and better judgement I started watching this very popular, very strange programme – and got hooked – for the worst of reasons. I will post my journey through the programme as it did raise interesting business and philosophical issues. If you didn’t see the programme the issues may be of interest, […]
