What about Second Breakfast?

Well I went to see the Hobbit today. I saw it in glorious 3D, running at 48 fps and almost entirely digital.

What can I say?

Hobbit Hang-ups

So the Hobbit is coming out tomorrow. Peter Jackson's new trilogy, and it's starring Martin Freeman and a whole ton of Hollywood heavyweights, not to mention Benedict Cumberbatch. From the cast list alone I'm expecting a flashier version of BBC's Sherlock; what can I say? I'm setting myself up for disappointment here.

Seeing the Sights

Okay, so yesterday I went to the cinema, on the basis that there are so many good movies out there right now I had to go see at least one of them. I am, for the most part, a fan of British indie film, peeling away from the greedy Hollywood corporations and making movies they want to watch. Edgar Wright is a man who captures this truly British filmmaking spirit well, particularly in his latest offering, Sightseers.
