This couldn’t have happened to a nicer person… Yep, Anne Robinson today had some element of comeuppance and was banned for speeding today. Not that she could be bothered to attend court of course. She just sent her lackey lawyer to issue her apologies. Yep, Anne. We believe you. Just know this…Wales will never forget!!

Rolling Stone called said the film “brings pop escapism whisper-close to enduring art”, while Time intrigued me further with comments on Director Christopher Nolan’s “subversive agenda”.

It’s amazing though that this storyline [...]

Can someone explain to me why Guillermo del Toro’s Cronos is in part English, and part Spanish? I dunno…weird. Enjoyed it though! Very much. And Ron Perlman looks like a monkey.
