My Nike iD(eas)

Fed up with trawling the interweb to find the perfect pair of trainers - I've decided to customize my own based on the Nike Air Mogan shoe.

It was all going well up until the personalised message on the back, which has left me plagued with doubts about coming across all uncool.

In the I've ended up going down the cryptic numbers route.

Review - Burn After Reading



Another fine farce from the Coens, with Brad Pitt stealing the show as airhead gym employee Chad - showing that following on from True Romance, Pitt really can do completely stupid worryingly convincingly.

Review - Righteous Kill



Predictable stuff with Pacino and De Niro not that good enough anymore too lift it to even an average standard. Pretty dull all round really.

Review - The KIng Of Kong



There are times you'd swear you're watching the latest Christopher Guest film as many of the characters you come across in The King of Kong seem too Tap to be true.

Amongst the freaks and geeks of the Twin Galaxies universe - 'Gamer of the Century', Restaurateur and Hot Sauce maker Billy Mitchell steals the show with an ego far larger than any of the scores on show and the simple, but perfectly pitched story of underdog Steve Wiebe's battle for recognition as Donkey Kong hi-scorer against the egotistical gaming legend makes for one the best documentaries of recent years.

Review - 88 Minutes



If I said it was b*****ks - that would the only way to get 5 stars mentioned in the same breath of this film

Review - Tropic Thunder



Its no classic but the fake trailers and Cruise's fantastically sweary turn make it an entertaining enough hour and three quarters.
