The Happening (2008)

23. June 2008

1 star* The Happening has a very important message, about acting now to save our planet before we destroy it, but it waits until the last few minutes to get this across. Unfortunately, by then we’re so uninterested that we almost think ‘sod the planet, let’s go home.’ If we’d got the message earlier, we [...]

3 stars*** When a book isn’t a film. Bringing The House Down was a fascinating book from the pen of Ben Mezrich. It takes you through a four year period where a University professor builds a team of brilliant card counters who developed a system to win millions of dollars from top casinos. To those [...]
