Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – review. Rating: 3/5
I watched the latest Jurassic Park/World movie (aka Jurassic Park 5 aka Jurassic World 2 aka Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) about a couple weeks ago and I mostly enjoyed it – as a fun, “popcorn” movie. It has several faults but I still walked out of the cinema thinking to myself that it was a … Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom – review. Rating: 3/5
Cottonopolis: Review
I have been to Cottonopolis a few times and the food has always been delicious. Cottonopolis opened in the Northern Quarter at the end of 2015. It is located on the corner of Newton Street and Dale Street and was formerly a tailor’s studio. It is an Asian inspired “eatery” as well as a bar. … Cottonopolis: Review

World Cup 2018 – pre-tournament thoughts (and fixtures)
So its now just under 10 days until the 2018 World Cup (in Russia). The last several years I have become less bothered about the national team – partly (mostly?) because of the recent lack of success in recent major tournaments.

Movies of 2017 – the good, the bad, the ugly
Bit late this year writing about the movies of 2017. Of course I didn’t see all the movies which were released and I didn’t watch many of the “big/must see” ones. 2017 wasn’t the best year for movies – it was officially the worse summer box office in over a decade (in America so probably … Movies of 2017 – the good, the bad, the ugly
