Heroes Season 3
When pretty much anyone can time travel or resurrect themselves, where is the drama and the tension? After a brilliant first season and a patchy second one, this poor third one feels like the last gasps of writers who are out of ideas.

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult
Easy to read, page turner of a novel whose main character is Peter, a bullied teenager, who heads into high school one morning armed and kills ten people. I found many of the characters to be cliched and a bit one dimensional. But despite that the...

Sunshine Movie
I always want Danny Boyle movies to be great but his record really is more misses than hits. This snoozefest is yet another miss. Kubrick has a lot to answer for. It's like everyone is trying to out-do him by making the most boring space walk of all...
