Film Review - Chronicle

Last night (25th January) I had the enviable pleasure of being amongst the first in the world to see Chronicle, at least the guy who introduced it said we would be among the first and I have no reason to not believe him.  He looked trustworthy.

Film Review - Haywire

Last night I went along to the Vue in Islington for a preview screening of Steven Soderbergh’s latest film, Haywire. Starring former MMA fighty lady Gina Carano as Mallory Kane, a member of a special operations unit contracted by the government, who is then set-up by her former employers. She then proceeds to royally kick the shit out of them.
