Limitless

  Starring Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish, Robert DeNiro Come away from Limitless and I dare you not to ask yourself was this an advertorial for “Existentialism in a Bottle”?! When I was first asked to review this new vehicle for Mr Charming, Bradley Cooper I looked at the published details and was surprised to see it was only 105 min long. Not enough time for character development I thought, so walked in expecting a surface level storyline. At the end of the evening I was surprised how time had truly stood still in what was a cinematic feast. Let me walk you through the...

Saga of a Camcorder Buyer

Should you get the new???

It is a constant frustration. The advertising says my gadget is last years colour. They change the specification so I’m short a decimal point in my ‘calibre’ of mega-sumthin’. How do you evaluate the next upgrade in Gadget City? This image came from an article at Gizmodo and gives a great synopsis for those battling with...

  This amazing video presentation brings together the message from Dr. Shadrach Meshach (S.M.) Lockridge’s and some great imagery. Who is Jesus to you? If you take communion don’t forget he said do this to "Remember Me". If you have forgotten the Jesus you first met when you first believed. He’s waiting to walk with you, talk with you so you can worship him as the son of...
