Unlocking the iPhone 3G, o2 and iPhone 4
Continuing the saga of fair usage of my iPhone 3G and o2. Quoted direct from an o2 representative, sic “We are not ripping anyone off” – meaning : we are ripping everyone off as fast as we can before the legislation takes hold. The premise is simple. The iPhone 3G was previously only sold by [...]

The book of Eli ( Blu-ray ) ( 2009 )
There have been quite a few distopian novels made into films recently and this is very much a second runner to the excellent The Road by John Hillcoat. Its definately trying to walk the Mad Max line, the grand daddy of all post apocalyptic road movie films, indeed it even features bad guys on motorbikes [...]

iPhone, Europe and avoiding data roaming charges
If there’s one thing that sticks in my craw its paying a shit load of money to use my iPhone abroad. I like to use geo-tagged items like posting in Brightkite, the exciting thing being that you can go somewhere very remote and log where you have been. Obviously I’d be expecting to pay to [...]

Jacob’s Ladder ( Blu – ray ) ( 1990 )
When this first came out in 1990 I remember going to see it, and it’s as shocking now as it was then. It really is in a little genre of its own. Its a bit war film ( Vietnam ), a bit horror and a bit nostalgia human interest with a drugs twist thrown in [...]

Revanche ( Blu-ray ) ( 2008 )
I was not really sure where this was going when it started, other than to say beautiful prostitute and leading character falling in love with said prostitute had to end badly. The lead character is convincingly played by Johannes Krisch. After falling in love he realises that he needs cash to fund a new start, [...]

Antichrist ( Blu-ray ) ( 2009 )
Its hard to know where to start with this. Is it a good film? well its early to tell for me. I certainly wouldn’t say I enjoyed it, but felt that it was an experience watching it. Its definately shocking, and should not be watched by anyone easily offended – and believe me when I [...]

A fear of flying
Ok this is outside my normal blog posting but as many people suffer from this problem and I have a lot of experience of dealing with the issue I thought I would write something. My fear is strong enough to cause me very severe physiological problems associated with a heightened state of torpor, severe distress [...]

Nuovo Cinema Paradiso ( Blu-ray ) ( 1988 )
I was expecting a lot more than I got…This film has always been lorded as one of the best world cinema films of all time and I watched it for the first time the other day in Blu-ray. If Im honest I’ve, been avoiding watching it. Its very nostalgic. Ironically so as the one of [...]

Weymouth’s burial & bypass exhibition at Pavilion
( exhibition on until Tuesday at Weymouth Pavilion )
So expectations were high ( for Weymouth ) as the archeological find of a lifetime turns up, under the proposed bypass that was eventually forced through – which personally I think is all about jobs myself – as lets face it, you can get much more traffic [...]
