Zoom-In: Severance

// April 23rd, 2009 // No Comments » // Film

And now for something completely different… after five rather serious weeks of Kitchen Sink Realism my Zoom-In Online blog has taken a turn for the bloody. Severance (2006) is a brilliant horror-comedy funded by the UK Film Council and I highly recommend you check it out! Interested? Then take yourself along to my Severance Review [...]

Zoom-In: Kitchen Sink Realism mini-series concludes

So I haven’t mentioned my blog on Zoom-In for a while. I figured that it was pretty pointless to just be blogging about each individual blog as Jim put them up. So, now that the first mini-series is over, I thought I’d post links to all the installments. [...]

Recent Twitter Security Issues: The Mikeyy worms

// April 19th, 2009 // No Comments » // Web

Rights attributed to: //amy// – “Artificial colours. 090/365″
This is by no means an anti-Twitter post. In fact I used the words “love” and “Twitter” in the same sentence yesterday. However, their recent security issues appear to have highlighted something of a systemic/programmatic failing on Twitter’s part. Now, I’m no security expert and I rarely [...]

Zoom-In: London to Brighton

// March 9th, 2009 // No Comments » // Film

It’s starting to seem like I only use this blog to pimp other blogs I’ve written. This is not the case I assure you and I have many fascinating (to me that is) blogs in my drafts just waiting to burst free onto the blogosphere.
Anywho, this week’s Zoom-In Online blog begins a new series exploring [...]

Zoom-In: Shallow Grave

// March 4th, 2009 // No Comments » // Film

Breaking News: In the wake of Danny Boyle’s HUGE success at the oscars I talk a load of old shit the over at Zoom-In Online in the name of advocating Boyle’s first feature film Shallow Grave. Seriously, watch it, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Zoom-In Blog: Dead Set

// February 24th, 2009 // No Comments » // Film

Just a quickie to say the first installment of my “From Across the Pond” blog went live on Zoom-In’s Film/TV channel yesterday evening. Check it out and let me know what you think. I’m in the process of writing next weeks at the moment and think Jim and I have hit upon a great topic [...]

So… in the wake of my first blog published on a site other than my own I have been given a regular blog series launch this coming Monday. Jim Rohner, Producer of the Film/TV channel at Zoom-In has posted an introductory blog about me and the series I’ll be writing. I won’t [...]

Every Programmer Should Read This Blog Post!

// February 20th, 2009 // No Comments » // Web

So, I chose this image for this blog entry because I found it again a couple of days ago (it’s as old as the hills btw. those girls are probably 30 by now) and it really summed up the two things that are going around in my head right now. Not that you sick puppies. [...]

My local Starbucks is an utter shit hole!

// February 15th, 2009 // No Comments » // Blog

Yep, that’s right, my local coffee shop is literally a grot hole. So much so, that we didn’t actually go in today. Every day my wife and I meet at Starbucks during our lunch break for a coffee and a catch up. Starbucks is, for our sins, part of our daily lives. We got hooked [...]

Slashtastic

// January 29th, 2009 // No Comments » // Film

A couple of days ago a friend of mine, Jim Rohner (a crazy yank and pro-blogger), asked me to contribute to his companies’ Film/TV blog on the subject of “You have to see this…” With the recent resurgence in Slasher remakes I thought there’s nothing better than a documentary about how it all began. If [...]
