Is naked a state of mind?
Posted by Nat Thursday 8 May, 2008 01:22 PM
We've been astounded with the response we've had from so many beautiful people as to how they feel about their "nakedness". I know I have problem with being naked in front of anyone other than my partner, and it's amazing to hear about so many people that have the same issue.

Posted by Shane Thursday 2 August, 2007 05:39 PM
We're not talking the B-grade trash that you just know is bad from the beginning (actually, sometimes they are so bad they actually get pretty funny). More, the big budget, big star films that have no excuse to max out the lame-o-metre...

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix doesn't live up to the hype, says The Fabulous Adam Richards
Posted by The Fabulous Adam Richards Tuesday 17 July, 2007 03:06 PM
It’s hard for me to be objective about Harry, because I absolutely love the books. To be honest, the first two movies were a bit dull, in fact I’ve never made it through the chamber of secrets without nodding off.
Transformers is a robotic rollercoaster ride
Posted by The Fabulous Adam Richards Tuesday 3 July, 2007 10:30 PM
More than meets the eye. More than meets the expectation, more like. After watching a bunch of films with the number 3 in the title, that have been nothing but disappointing in spite of budgets the size of small African nations, I was very wary going into Transformers. Sure, it may not be a sequel, but it is based on a bunch of toys and a cartoon from the 80’s that made very little sense to me. I was 15 in 86 when the robots in disguise were a big deal, and a bit more concerned with collecting Madonna 12” singles than robot truck people – so I sat down to watch Transformers with a very sceptical eye.
