RDJ has nice hair: musing on Iron Man 2

Thoughts on Paris, je t’aime
I’m running somewhat behind on my list of ‘movies I want to watch’, such as Paris, je t’aime which was released back in 2006. I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to watch this film, especially given that … Continue reading

Where the Wild Things Are… (inside all of us)
I’ve been a keen follower of the cinematic works of Spike Jonze for many years now. While I haven’t caught up on his complete back catalogue of films, I absolutely love ‘Being John Malkovich’ and ‘Adaptation’. He is also responsible … Continue reading
