The King of Kong

Double Fault by Lionel Shriver

*****

So Wimbledon was in progress, I was in my local bookshop and this novel caught my eye. Its the story of Willy, a low ranking tennis professional on the way up when we first encounter her. She's been playing tennis since aged four and is now...

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...

Top Gear (Summer 2008)

*****

What a rip-roaring start to the new series. Wow! Utterly non-PC, tons of fun. lots of fabulous cars, silliness and did I mention cars? Something for young and old to enjoy apart from the Sunday Night Project dicks. The boys are back in town and this...

Butterfly on a Wheel

*****

A completely by-the-numbers thriller which leaves you not guessing at all. How many "psycho kidnaps someone and forces people to do things to save them" movies can be made? Awful rubbish which wastes the talent of good actors. I won't waste too much...

Blades of Glory

*****

The most stupid film I've seen in two months and I wouldn't change a second of it. Not perfection like Kingpin but belly-laugh brilliant and worth watching just to see Will Ferrell in a leotard. The acting is all hammed and the ice-skating is...

Celebrity Banisteoir (Wicklow vs Westmeath)

*****

Well she finally showed her true colours. A woman whose entire political career has been dedicated entirely to her political career couldn't be arsed getting out of bed on a Sunday to be the Maryland coach. I was thrilled that they won, just to stick...
