{FILM SPOTTING}
Basically, December sucks. There’s nothing that I really want to see and even the maybe list below is very short.
And I’ve changed my film spotting formatting yet again, but only very slightly ;)
Other Films for Consideration

You Again (USA, 2010)
Sigourney Weaver and Jamie Lee Curtis seem like a really explosive comedic coupling (I [...]

From now on, most of my film reviews will be grouped into a monthly post. There are some films that I feel like writing more about and those I’m still going to dedicate whole posts to. But the rest is going to get shorter treatment - hopefully this will mean I won’t be quite so [...]

Discovered the first big drawback of TMDb - they don’t have TV serials implemented yet *sigh* I am therefore resorting to IMDb for this review - I had most of the links already in my drafts anyway.
My review structure has changed again, but it’s very simple now - I think this one will be much [...]

This post deals with a much more youthful Take That *grin* They had a more manufactured and cocky feel in those days, but even then they were most definitely insane ;)
Nobody Else Tour (1995)
Have you ever wondered what a boyband would look and sound like if they suddenly switched to playing hard rock in the [...]

News stories about North Korea are very rare, but there’s one which has been making the rounds for about a month now. Ever since Kim Jong-il’s stroke in 2008 (or at least it is thought he had one, but we are unlikely to ever get official confirmation on that), speculation about who his successor would [...]

After my previous declaration of undying love, I realized that was only my first post about Take That on this blog :-/ Clearly, this must be remedied *grin* So I thought I’d post lots of clips with their craziest concert ideas, which is what I love about them the most. And then I realized the [...]

This is a really weird, but very interesting clip on monkeys who like to drink alcohol…

I’m ditching my film spotting rating. It adds complexity rather than clarity. What I do want to stay with though is the practice of listing films that I’m in two minds about seeing (or in other words I’d probably see the film if a friend wanted to and/or if there was nothing else interesting [...]

I absolutely hate IMDb’s redesign. It’s horrible. I hated when they decided to show English titles rather than the original ones as well, but the redesign is ten times more difficult to stomach. In fact, it’s so bad I seriously started wondering if I could move at least some of my film site needs somewhere [...]
