Why I Hate… The Matrix

Posted on 23 February 2011

So I’m a bit of a geek (I know it’s a shocker) and a lover of films and science fiction, so you might be surprised to find out that I hate The Matrix.. and of course you’d be right, because I do actually love the first film. It was ground breaking and well awesome, partly [...] Continue Reading

Gatiss on Horror

Posted on 16 October 2010

Last Monday night I watched part one of A History of Horror with Mark Gatiss, a BBC4 documentary series exploring his favourite horror films. The first show focused on the early years of horror cinema, the era of Lon Chaney, Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff. While Gatiss unashamedly admits to featuring his own favourite horror [...] Continue Reading

Search for Sagan – Top 5 screen scientists

Posted on 21 July 2010

I’m no expert when it comes to science (unless it’s computer based), but as a bit of a nerd I’m fascinated by the workings of the universe and love watching great science based shows that explain the basics in a way I can comprehend. Of course merely hearing the facts isn’t always enough. We need [...] Continue Reading

Utterly pointless essential guide to comedy body swap films

Posted on 09 April 2009

In in addition to my unashamed love of many unquestionably great films, I must admit that I also have a great love of some pretty terrible shit. Not just cult or b-movie gems which may have some charm and merit, but really cheesy mainstream comedies which are generally considered unacceptable viewing for anyone out of [...] Continue Reading

Things (or people) I like – Charlie Brooker & zombies

Posted on 14 March 2009

If you have yet to encounter Charlie Brooker, columnist, broadcaster and tv commentator, then you are missing out on some glorious venom from a very funny and intelligent human. He is known for his guardian column and his BBC show screen wipe, both of which are generally concerned with tv and the media. In his [...] Continue Reading

Roller Girls Support WWF’s Earth Hour

Posted on 16 February 2012

I have been rushed off my feet recently with work, snowboarding trips and derby (so all fun stuff), but I wanted to quickly show you a video my roller derby league the Cardiff Roller Collective made with the WWF, in support of Earth Hour. We had lots of fun skating round in the dark, with [...] Continue Reading

Favourite Festive Films

Posted on 20 December 2011

While I love plenty of worthy or intellectual films, heavy science fiction or discovering foreign gems, I still have a soft spot for traditional feel good family flicks, especially at this time of year. As much as I love to be challenged and surprised by movies, there is definitely room for more familiar, sentimental films, [...] Continue Reading

I’m really busy so I shouldn’t be taking the time to write this, but I have been feeling terribly guilty for neglecting my blog so much.. so I figured it was about time for a quick update. Yet again, this is an entirely self indulgent blog about my personal life, so feel free to skip [...] Continue Reading

This is not a spoiler

Posted on 13 July 2011

What is a spoiler anyway? Strange question you might think, but recently I have started to question how people actually define a spoiler. Anyone who knows me well will know I suffer from severe spoiler phobia, as a result of having had a few films and series ruined over the years. When I know something [...] Continue Reading

Brilliant Newspaper Design (from mr supermaw)

Posted on 01 June 2011

My husband @renduh, who works as a designer for Media Wales, recently created this video, which shows him designing a supplement cover from beginning to end.  Now I have been enjoying watching his mad design skills for years, but I still love this video, as it really illustrates the skill that goes into creating newspapers and magazines.

Why I love my Kindle

Posted on 23 May 2011

The latest Kindle has been out a while, and plenty of people have written about it’s specifications and capabilities, so this isn’t that kind of review. I really just wanted to share my experiences of reading on a Kindle, as opposed to reading a book, in case anyone is wondering if they should take the [...] Continue Reading

It’s OK to be Takei

Posted on 20 May 2011

I’m sure lots of you will have seen this already, but just in case you missed the awesomeness, I have to share this brilliant video from George Takei. The Star Trek actor’s response to Tennessee’s “Don’t Say Gay” Bill is hilarious, and highlights just how ridiculous it is to ban discussion on sexuality. You can [...] Continue Reading
