Halo 3 Xbox 360 Review

Well Halo 3 has finally hit the shelves and I’m sure many of you will be too busy playing the game to be able to get on the net and read reviews, yet alone open your doors, go outside and breathe fresh air. I played the original Halo on the Xbox (the game was part of a deal I picked up at a game store) and at the time first person shooters were not exactly my favourite genre, Read more

The Nanny Diaries

Set in Manhattan and Starring Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation), Laura Linney, Alicia Keys, and Chris Evans (The Fantastic Four); The Nanny Diaries (released to UK cinemas on 12 October 2007) tells the story of the emotional and often humorous journey of Annie Braddock (Johansson), a young woman from a working-class neighborhood in New Jersey, struggling to understand her place in the world.

Fresh out of college, she gets tremendous pressure from her mother to find a respectable position in the business world although Annie would prefer to trade in her blackbery for an anthropologist’s field diary. Through a serendipitous meeting, Annie ends up in the elite and ritualistic culture of Manhattan’s Upper East Side – as remote from Annie’s suburban New Jersey upbringing as life in an Amazon tribal village.

Heroes Season 1 Pt 1 DVD Review

I have just finished watching the first part of season one of the acclaimed TV show Heroes, and I’ve got to say if this was a movie I would be impressed, let alone a TV show, the current crop of big budget US TV shows are really high class, and before watching Heroes I would say the Lost was the pinnacle of this, but no more, I have a new champion.

Heroes – for those of you who have been living in a box for the last year, is a show about a group of ordinary people who’s lives are changing in an extra ordinary way, developing amazing talents such as the cheerleader who can jump off a building, and get up unscathed, or the artist who can paint the future or the office worker who can manipulate time and teleport amazing places.
