'DEFIANCE'

I dragged golfer to see this film because of Daniel Craig being the hero, but his role turned out to be nothing like his James Bond character. The action takes place in Belarus in 1941, the Jews are being massacred by the Nazis and four brothers take...

CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER

'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' really is a very curious film! Clever make-up, visual effects and a highly unbelievable story line go to make a pleasant enough, if unlikely visit to the cinema. Brad Pitt is born old and progressively gets younger...

"GRAN TORINO"

In this film, directed by himself, Clint Eastwood does what he does best: grumpy, tough, hateful, unhappy, unable to get on with his family and his neigbours and haunted by his past as a Korean war veteran. His wife is dead, his kids are only interested...

As those of you who have been following our misfortune with Fan-anne will know, we reported her to Environmental Health last week. Well, I got a phone call from them the next day and it seems that as long as you are not using an instrument, i.e. radio,...

ACUPUNCTURE

Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking: what a waste of money! And you're partially right; I've had five sessions so far for my osteoarthritis and can't say that it's any easier if I'm honest, but that may well be because nothing can be done to actually...

WHAT JUST HAPPENED

Robert de Niro is perfect as a successful film producer juggling ex wives, children and a whole cast of unreasonable film executives and stars. I particularly loved Bruce Willis as himself, fat, bearded, overindulged and totally terrifying. Michael Wincott...
