Last Sunday, I saw Quantum of Solace. Having read some mild critics, I wasn’t expecting much. And I was surprised! It’s good, very good indeed.
You can sense they are getting there. Ok, it’s loaded with action scenes, car pursuits and big shooting exchanges, gadgtets are gone – or maybe not arrived yet (sniff), the title [...]

A couple of days ago, I saw Wicked, the story of the witches of Oz. I’ve never seen the film the Wizard of Oz, I’ve never read the book by Frank Baum, all I know of Dorothy, Toto, the Tin-man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion is what I remember from a cartoon I used [...]

The week before, I knew I had to save my Sunday. What for? I had no idea. It was a “Surprise”.
I worked out what the surprise was the day before while reading the newspaper: the surprise was going to the RedBull Air Race in Greenwich. I thought it was grand!! I had seen it once [...]

Touristy stuff to do in London…
Last week, or was it 2 weeks ago? I don’t really remember. My sister and her boyfriend came to visit me before going to China for a year. And eventually with them I could do all the touristy stuff I wanted to do since I arrived but that are not [...]

Last week I bought Glamour – Yes I’m still bored, nothing new, still no job. And with Glamour there was this book: The Wag’s Diary. I already spotted a couple of girls reading it in the Tube over the last 2 or 3 weeks, I knew about it. But as full of prejudices as I [...]

“oh no I can’t believe I’m goint to see Mamma Mia with you”
“oh no, I forgot we were going to see Mamma Mia…” etc etc.
After a while you just ignore and keep going. Things go so much better when [...]

Talking about shopping… This is what I went to see on Sunday: Priceless, a rom-com with Audrey Tautou and Gad Elmaleh. Critics have been comparing the film to Breakfast At Tiffany’s and Audrey Tautou with Audrey Hepburn. Hmm, haven’t seen Breakfast at Tiffany’s but I have to say Audrey Tautou is really sexy. I was [...]

I saw all of them, I loved the Arch of the Covenant, I was Marion and he was Indy and he was saving me from the bad Nazis. I was 12.
When I was 14, I had a serious crush on Dr Henry Jones Senior in the Last Crusade.
I didn’t like the Temple of Doom, too [...]
