February Film Reviews

Recently I have been getting back into watching movies. I have a whole stack of them to catch up on and I am now finally reducing the stack. 3 of the films I watched in February were, Kung Fu Panda, The Invention of Lying, and The Soloist. Read the article for mini reviews of each.

WordPress MU 2.8: Beginner’s Guide review

Thumbnail : WordPress MU 2.8: Beginner’s Guide review

WordPress MU 2.8: Beginner’s Guide surprised me positively. To be honest, I did hesitate before accepting a review copy from the publishers as I fully expected it to be “just” a beginner’s guide to WordPress mu (the multi user version of WordPress) – essentially the same as a beginner’s guide to WordPress, only with a couple extra characters in the name.

I was wrong.

Yes, it covers WordPress mu, but ...

WordPress Developer Cookbook

If I am totally honest there aren’t many computer books that I actually find useful, they’re generally for beginners or full of information you can get online for the low-cost of a Google search or two.

That’s why I like developers cookbooks. Cookbooks are full of simple, easy to digest, recipes that help make your life that bit easier.

Thankfully the WordPress 2.7 Cookbook is no exception. It starts off covering the ...

Coraline

Coraline is a stop motion animated movie directed by the same Director as The Nightmare Before Christmas, which meant I instantly assumed that the Director was Tim Burton, and after watching the movie my opinion hadn’t changed. Coraline is a very atmospheric, dark film, and it wouldn’t have surprised me at all if Tim Burton had directed it – but it turns out he hasn’t.

The Director of Coraline is a man called Henry Selick, and the story ...

UP

Pixar have a habit of creating stories and worlds that transcend the age gap. Despite the fact they are animations the stories tap into your emotions, and in many ways are more real than anything filmed with live actors.

Being digitally animated means that you can ignore who the (voice) actors in Pixars films are, and concentrate on the performance and story. It is often easier to project your emotions on to something that isn’t real – your own imagination ...

The Boat That Rocked – iTunes Movie Review

Thumbnail : The Boat That Rocked – iTunes Movie Review

The Boat That Rocked is Richard Curtis (4 Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill) latest film – and it’s so much better than I had imagined it would be.

I’m not sure why I’m surprised, Richard Curtis films are always funny and feel good, but the trailer for the film left me feeling cold. It looked like the movie focused on Rhys Ifans character, who seemed rather dislikeable, it also seemed to have a much more serious tone – ...

Frost/ Nixon – NBC Universal iTunes movie

Thumbnail : Frost/ Nixon – NBC Universal iTunes movie

Being under 30, English, and disinterested in both politics and history I wasn’t sure what to make of Frost/ Nixon. It’s a movie about a US president, Richard Nixon, who disgraced because of something called the Watergate scandal (yes, I’ve heard of THAT) retired, and was later interviewed by a relatively unknown English man called David Frost.

The only David Frost I know of is a nosey bloke who hosts ...

WordPress 2.7 Complete book review and give away

Thumbnail : WordPress 2.7 Complete book review and give away

I haven’t read any WordPress books before, and have always wondered what they would contain so I was instantly intrigued when I was contacted by someone from Packt publishing asking if I wanted to review a new WordPress book.

WordPress 2.7 Complete is squarely targeted at the new WordPress user. The chapters actually cover quite a broad range of topics, including everything from the initial ...
