April 14, 2009There are so many things wrong with writer-director Sharon Maguire's first film since Bridget Jones' Diary in 2001 that it's hard to know where to start, but the fatal problem is that this is a film with an identity crisis.

March 22, 2009I love movies that come completely unexpected and turn out to be near to masterpieces. I recognize the fact that, for the general audience, it was mediocre and has not been endorsed by critics, but I genuinely loved it.

February 22, 2008Am looking forward to this one too, cos I'm in it! Look out for my great performance as an overexcited fan and scrawny fireman! Also to be spotted is Hickster Senior as an injured supporter stumbling from the rubble. Am expecting writer and postal strikes have meant my Oscar nomination confirmation is still in transit!

February 12, 2008I'm really excited to see this... It's getting some pretty mixed reviews from the Sundace crowd, but still. I'm hoping it will be at least watchable...
