STAR WARS - THE FORCE AWAKENS REVIEW this review was originally written for facebook, so any overly familiar statements are to be excused... enjoy =) SPOILERS : SPOILERS : SPOILERS : SPOILERS : SPOILERS : SPOILERS : SPOILERS : SPOILERS : SPOILERS : SPOILERS : SPOILERS : SPOILERS ...

nice review ^_^ This one is actually my favourite of the post-goldeneye offerings. I think it came at just the right time - before CGI went too far, basically. Having just seen Spectre I was reminded of how much easier it was to like the Brosnan films. You knew what you were getting -...

This was actually written before the Spectre review I just put up. Viola~ The Martian It seems as though there has been something of a seachange in terms of humanity's view of outer space - Mars in particular - recently. I think with the flyby of Pluto, discovery of water on Mars, the...

First effort at a review here, forgive the wall of text nature of the writing but it is copy/pasted from another website and on which text formatting isn't possible and beyond a certain point I couldn't be bothered editing this thing... James Bond 007: Spectre "It's half price day!" I...

Okay so I guess the thing which prevents this from being a 'your favourite song' list is the 'cool' variable, and how we may measure "coolness" I dunno, I guess the 'coolest' song might be the song that makes me feel coolest... I know you got soul - Eric B and Rakim Windowlicker - Aphex...

A - what, about a week? - a week or so ago the heavyweight boxing world was shocked when one of the most dominant and disciplined heaviweight world champions in the history of the sport (not trying to be absolute with what I'm saying here, he may not have been the most) was defeated by an...

I lived there from 2004-09, and have visited often since.. I'm never going to say Beijing didn't get polluted but it was never as consistently bad as CNN said, and it's good days were often absolutely gorgeous. It's much better these days, too, as they have done significant work in the areas...

Ah I forgot your second, very interesting question... I think the winner there would be Jakarta just last new years, and one of the most life-affirming but scary incidents I have yet enjoyed. I had said goodbye to my fellow revelers someone around 2am, and went looking for a taxi home. Little...

Soft! Hard tacos just make no sense to me! Why add risk of crumbs to the equation? And sauce falls out. And anything else that isn't perfectly packed. And sometimes even if it was perfectly packed. And corn is yucky, it distracts from the flavor, whereas flour based wraps are delicious in their...

Take full advantage of international schools. Take full advantage of the chances to study really complex things in a disciplined way, to participate in traveling school sports teams all year 'round, to join EC activity groups, model UN, everything. I spent a bit too much time playing games in...

Ah some great questions here... Hmm. I have to say that the Chinese people are the ones who consistently confound smug colonialist stereotypes. People say they are impolite: no. People say they are greedy: no. People say they are unclean: no. People say they are below average in...

I'd like to believe that man but when I went to their concert I felt like such a dumbass for actually "feeling" the music, for the first couple of songs. Lawl those movies ~

it wasn't, the USA is behind it and I would add that Australia is too. It's really just to do with how old I was when I lived there, I wasn't able to enjoy and explore it as much as Berlin and Beijing. It's a magical place. Hard to say really. Probably Germany. You never really know. I would...

I believe you two are looking for each other

Well it depends, really. I think it just applies to laws where countries differ on their punishment and the expat is subject to their home country's standards rather than those of their host country. Might be something along those lines. Needless to say I never actually experimented with how far...
