Jumper

After seeing a trailer for this movie a few weeks ago I decided to check it out without reading any reviews and again I’m glad I did.
This film appears to have caused a problem for some regarding the amount of unanswered questions remaining when the end credits roll but from what I could deduce, these [...]

Cloverfield

I tried to stay away from all the hype and spoilers surrounding this picture, not even watching the trailer until last week visit to the cinema where it previewed before AvP2. The whole idea appealed to me and so many times you can overdose on internet spoilers and theories which eventually ruin a lot of [...]

AVPR

Or Alien Versus Predator: Requiem to give it it’s full title.
Went to the cinema last night to see this the latest instalment in the AvP “franchise”, not really expecting that much to be fair after the disappointment of AvP and I wasn’t really surprised to be left feeling that way again.
Not sure how to put [...]

Am I a Legend?

First film of the New Year is Francis Lawrence’s I am Legend….
Now I wouldn’t go as far as to say this film is in the legendary bracket but it is a fairly entertaining 101 min romp nonetheless.
The plot of the film is very reminiscent to that of 2002’s 28 Days later, with a virus sweeping [...]

Ian Brown @ The Engine Shed

King Monkey comes to Lincoln….

As a longtime fan of The Stone Roses and in particular Ian Brown, this gig was probably my most eagerly anticipated for some time and Ian & Co did not disappoint.
Joined on stage by his always excellent band of musicians this time including the legendary Andy Rourke, Brown powered his way [...]

Die Hard 4.0

Finally got round to going to the flicks to see the latest instalment of the Die Hard “Franchise” - Die Hard 4.0 or Live Free or Die Hard as it was known in America.
As a huge fan of the previous 3 DH movies, I was really looking forward to seeing how the adventures of John [...]

Ocean’s Thirteen

Another week, another film….
Went to see Ocean’s Thirteen last night at the Odeon and was very glad I did.
After the disappointment of the second film in this series it was good to see the film getting back to the sort of things that made the 2001 re-make of the classic rat pack movie such a [...]

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End

After reading mixed reviews from various sources, I was unsure what to expect from this the third offering of the franchise. At 168 minutes, many have described the film as too long but I disagree, the film moved along at a decent pace and I was never left feeling the film was too lenghthy as [...]

Spider-Man III

The end….?
Saw Spider-Man 3 last night at the Odeon in Lincoln.
This was probably my most anticipated movie of the year and my feelings after seeing are mixed….
As a massive fan of the first two SM films, I was really looking forward to see how the story would end but surprisingly on the morning of going [...]

Inspiral Carpets @ The Engine Shed
