How to Watch a Movie
26th January 2010 | 3 comments | 1 person likes this
Whether or not we’re always aware of it, most of us are in search of the perfect movie-watching experience. Here are some rules I’ve recently realised I adhere to pretty strictly...
The Hollywood Blockbuster (Avatar)
Go for an early performance at the nearest overpriced multiscreen, on an Orange Wednesday so everyone else is there too. With as many friends as possible, lots of popcorn to chew noisily, and horribly overpriced drinks to... -
Theatre Review: Is That A Bolt In Your Neck?

I confess I’ve not seen many spoof gothic horrors (I’m kind of a wuss, and putting ‘spoof’ in the description, does not, in my experience, a blood and guts-free movie make). It’s all about to change, though, if Is That A Bolt In Your Neck? is a good indication of the genre’s standard.
I always enjoy myself at Bristol’s Tobacco Factory Theatre so I wasn’t worried before Monday night’s performance. Nonetheless... -
Julie & Julia: An Irresistible Film about Love, Food, and Loving Food
29th September 2009 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this
I don’t often visit the cinema with my mother: but over the years I’ve perfected the fine art of choosing an appropriate film. It’s all about the research: I look for words like uplifting, gentle, feel-good, charming and heartfelt in the promotional material, and hope this promises the qualities below:

- At least one male character with entirely honourable tendencies.
- Gentle, relatively... -

As the newspaper industry cuts back on budgets and talent here there and everywhere, I’m grateful for the due attention still paid to photography by the Guardian. Saturday last was no exception. Eamonn McCabe’s portrait of the Irish novelist and short story writer, William Trevor, is a triumph. Worthy of its prominent position in Saturday’s Review, it is a fine example of portrait photography and a relief to me that...

Banksy’s latest exhibition reignites graffiti debate…
24th August 2009 | 1 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
As the spotlight shines once more on Bristol's street art superstar, it seems only fair that the rest of the graffiti world, and its huge fan base, continue to share at least a little of the limelight.
Graffiti is big news in Bristol right now. It’s big news everywhere really. Thanks largely to Banksy (graffiti’s only household name), whose surprise summer exhibition at the Bristol Museum certainly highlights, if not transcends,...

It turns out life as an editor at a b2b publication wasn't for me, so I recently reverted to lifestyle journalism at a Bristol-based magazine - while assisting a photojournalist on work for the national broadsheets. Unsurprisingly then, I can happily jabber on about photography till the proverbial cows find their way home. Though the same can be said for culture, the arts, travel, and the wonderful idiosyncrasies of 21st century life... I guess you might say I'm easily entertained!
