The Ex (aka Fast Track) Movie
This is not Zach Braff at his best. Even the lovely Amanda Peet strains slightly. However, Jason Bateman revels in his role and makes the movie.
Zach Braff is in danger [...]
Fracture Movie
Whilst Anthony Hopkins sleepwalks through this movie, it’s not a bad plot at all and Ryan Gosling impresses
This is pretty much a by-the-numbers thriller but well acted and with a few decent scenes.

Lucky Number Slevin

I reviewed Heroes about two episodes in and loved it. We are now around episode 9 and it just gets better and better. Some characters are stronger than others in terms [...]

Jaiku’s main goal is to bring people closer together by enabling them to share their presence. I think they have gone for overkill.

Review of Flashdance Movie
Rated as 4/5 on Apr 24 2007 by conor
Of course it is very 80′s in style but unlike horrors like Miami Vice, this doesn’t make you cringe. A solid plot, good acting, great music and dancing and the fabulous Jennifer Beals. What more [...]
Wonderful book which explains the science of food and cooking in a very light-hearted way
