Time for some more rambling thoughts on comic books I purchased several months ago for reasons that seem to elude me at this precise moment in time. I think it's the heat ... Fables #94 I'm definitely repeating myself when it comes to Fables: Bill Willingham writes a good story…
Week 2 of April comics, and we have five to talk about, so let's get to it. Batman and Robin #11 Dick Grayson being attacked by a Robin being controlled by his mother through his spine, 99 Fiends attacking in a graveyard, mysteries under Wayne Manor, and Sexton doesn't seem…
Back in time, although not as far back as the film reviews from my student days of the past week: comic books I purchased back in April of this year, as I provide my limited thoughts on them in a strange quest to document my consumption of entertainment and try…
I first saw Jack Dee live in the small bar at the top of the Union Building of the University of Bristol over 20 years ago, with a small handful of other people. The few of us who were there enjoyed his wonderfully deadpan style, so it was no surprise…
[The final trip down memory lane, because this is the last film review I did for the student newspaper. This was published on 24 June 1998 – another gap of several months between this and the previous review. I wish I could remember why I was so infrequently used –…

[Another of my film reviews for my student newspaper, this time from 7 November 1997. I remember that I begged the film editor to review this film when it came out, because I was a big fan of John Woo's Hong Kong films. It was apparently tough to get a…
[Continuing my posting of film reviews I wrote for my student newspaper, this one from 31 October 1997. I was happy to be reviewing this – I like romantic comedies, and I think Salma Hayek is rather sexy (shh, don't tell my girlfriend) – and the review got prime position…
[This the second of my film reviews during my time of writing reviews for my student newspaper, this one from 24 October 1997. I was given a word limit for this review, because I think that the film reviews editor knew that he didn't want to give too much space…
[As I mentioned before, I did film reviews for my student newspaper a long time ago. I turned up to volunteer my services and the film editor luckily said I could have a go. I was happy just to be seeing films for free before they came out in the…
