Monsters University – Teaser Trailer

Yes, I am very excited for Pixar’s Brave, I’m hoping my favorite studio pulls another winner out of their hat, and I can push Cars 2 out of my most recent Pixar memories (sorry folks, not your best work). And although I have no doubt I will love it – we finally get a full-on…

Above All Things – Book Launch

It has been a long week already, and as I write this it’s only Tuesday.

I am very eagerly awaiting the arrival of next Friday night, amidst all the other things both Sue and I have on the go, interviews, covering…

Introducing Thomas Sullivan

Everyone was very kind with their words over Fred’s passing last week. So much so that some of you even followed up to make sure I was doing alright, and asking if there would be a new furball added into my life. I’m happy to say there is. On Friday, taking a break from work,…

Skyfall Teaser Trailer

Yes, we all know I’m looking forward to Prometheus, and I have no doubt I will love Brave, Expendables 2 and Dark Knight Rises, but the other big film that I am truly looking forward to is Skyfall, the new Bond film, featuring Daniel Craig as 007, Judi Dench returning as M, and bringing Albert…
