Just because it brings a smile to my face. All three of them (Rupert Grint, Emily Blunt and Bill Nighy) are great at comedy. And this is a rather pleasant watch too! (Link em up! – How groovy is that man!) But yeah – do that!

The law of sod: Phone calls

November 13th, 2009

Here is what I have learned the last two weeks. When you are looking for a job and desperate for recruiters or job people to call you: The phone will ring just when left your room for a minute making a cup of tea. Would you however take your phone with you at all times [...]

Here are experiences from the last couple of days: I have spent the last couple of days fine tuning my CV. I did not think it would take me that long but it did, mostly because it is so important to put the right wording in it. And to mention exactly the experience they (future [...]

Glorious 39 Of course I booked a ticket when I saw that Glorious 39 was going to be screened at the London Film Festival. I love Stephen Poliakoff dramas (Gideon’s Daughter, The Lost Prince are great) and he always seems to be able to assemble a fantastic cast. And Glorious 39 does have the most [...]

A room with a view

August 5th, 2009

A room with a view Taken while sitting on my bed yesterday. The moon looks huge, doesn’t it? Other short notes: We loved G-Force. I mean what is not to like, it’s talking guinea pigs! And mice! And a mole! And it is Bill in 3D. Apart from the slightly over the top Transformers like [...]

All these stop motion short films make me: 1. Smile big time 2. Want to make one myself Now there are quite a lot of them there, but I will point you to the ones I like best: 1. Her morning elegance I love love love this film. And I also really love the song, [...]

State of Play – the movie

April 24th, 2009

State of Play – movie If you have seen the fantastic BBC miniseries of State of Play, you’ll understand that the film had quite a bit to live up to. How could they squeeze a cracking 6 hours of drama in a 2 hours film. And worse – how could they (I mean how could [...]

Bill Nighy – Col. Olbricht in Valkyrie Valkyrie The first time I saw Valkyrie was last Saturday, together with someone who appreciates the acting (amongst others) skills of Mr. Nighy as much as I do. The 11.00am screening in Devon seemed to have been exclusively reserved for us, we had a private screening! Valkyrie is [...]

Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace ** Possible spoilers **

Brideshead Revisited or How not to attend a film premiere (More at Empire). Now it wasn’t Leicester Square okay and thank goodness for that. As Leicester Square is normally packed with hundreds of people and the red carpet is really long. No this was Chelsea which posh level suited a Brideshead premiere better. I was [...]

WALL-E and Billy Mac The very good First a recommendation: WALL-E. Go see it. It’s a 10/10 film. It’s clever, funny, very actual, and it’s a roboromcom! Wall-E is such a cool character that I took the bus from the cinema to Hamley’s and brought him home with me. See how much a film can [...]

Seeing as this is a year without any Bill Nighy films hitting the cinema (So tough! But next year there will be five!), we have to make the best of what we do get. That is not too hard really, as in 122 days we will get Daniel Craig in the new Quantum of Solace [...]

Caramel Something as unusual as a Lebanese Rom-com. IMDB quotes it as a oriental “Sex in the City”. I wouldn’t go that far, but the 4 women who work in the hairdresser, which is the centre of the film, are as different as the SATC women, and their problems are universal. It’s a great film, [...]

Everyman Cinema, Hampstead First – this is what the Everyman Cinema in Hampstead looks like. And this is what cinema’s should be like: fantastic chairs (2 seaters if you bring along a friend, one seaters if you don’t), some cushions, a small (close to) heart shaped table beside you, and on the table, a button [...]

Son of Rambow

March 31st, 2008

Son of Rambow No I haven’t seen it yet, but honestly how can a film fail when you have casted fantastic actors like these. I will be very surprised if this is not going to be one of my favourite films of 2008. Tonight I will attend a preview of it with a Q&A with [...]

Rain from my brain

February 26th, 2008

Piccadilly Circus in the rain I am struck by a severe (blog) writers block (and wondering who is interested in reading all this crap shit stuff anyway), so a couple of notes and then I am off. When I took this picture 2 days ago (without having an umbrella at hand but not minding the [...]

Back on Planet Earth

February 11th, 2008

Me and my sneakers back on planet earth This is just a short post to say that I am back on Earth. I think. Travelling in space messes up your mind. But here is a short list of things I have to say today (will write proper posts soon, I promise): It’s day 42 today. [...]

Yo ho yo ho

February 2nd, 2008

Davy You owe me your soul… When you are reading this, we are in the cinema. And we are watching, are you ready for this: Pirates of the Caribbean – At World’s End And I can hear you think: What?? No! No! No! NO! NO!! This can’t be true. Not that film again. You have [...]

Movie Maniac OK, The Good Night Lorenzo (owner of the now closed THE Cafe) already told me about this movie a year ago, they had shot a short sequence in his cafe. That was reason enough for me to see it. Bonus was that both Martin Freeman and Simon Pegg are in it too. Two [...]

Let my love open the door

January 13th, 2008

I heart it I picked it up, walked to the counter to pay and suddenly realized how pathetic it must have looked. I wanted to say – this is going to be a prop for my short – it is not for Valentine’s day – but I didn’t say anything. I just paid and walked [...]
