Seeing as I am off to Glastonbury tomorrow morning, I thought I would share the cinema tent listings for the festival and a few thoughts about them. Here’s hoping that in between music, partying and chilling out there will be time enough for me to catch a couple of the screenings.

The first review originally written for MMM, of Michael Bay’s sequel to his 2007 summer box-office smash, Transformers.

Having finally gotten round to watching Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler (2009) a couple of nights ago, I was left feeling mildly disappointed. Yes, Mickey Rourke is brilliant as Randy ‘The Ram’ Robinson, and yes the fight scenes are very realistic and yes the casting is excellent – BUT… I was left feeling rather disappointed by the film’s ending. Or maybe thats because those kind of finales are ten-a-penny at the moment. And I did see The Thing for the first time only recently, which has an ending that to me seems similar to The Wrestler. Its a shame, as the first 45 minutes were well paced and deftly handled.
