It all started so innocently. G was looking at LoveFilm on the new Xbox dashboard. The family were sitting down to watch a film, a tin of Quality Street at the ready, and G was scrolling through LoveFilm’s collection of Christmas films. ‘Look,’ he said. ‘Jack Frost, best Christmas film ever.’ And that was it.

In our house Christmas isn’t Christmas without local pantomime. So, as part of our Christmas countdown every year we try to see a local show and clearly we’re all expert in what we expect from our Christmas pantomime viewing. We want to shout ‘BOOOO’, we want Benny Hill type running, we want in-jokes about local […]

So, thanks to Digital Outlook I’m still enjoying PictureBox Player (for those who don’t know, PictureBox Player is the brand new subscription service which is available on Samsung Internet-connected smart TVs, iPads and PCs).

Digital Outlook asked me to look at PictureBox Player, a rather fabulous service which enables you to watch a range of movies online or through web-enabled devices. In basic terms, PictureBox allows the viewer to access 28 movies each month (and those movies can be viewed as many times as the viewer wishes). Every week […]

(This ‘Something for the Weekend’ post comes to you via my geekness) Some of you will already know that I’m a BIG Star Wars fan (my children all having Star Wars linked names, in a subtle way, honest!). So it will be of little surprise to discover that over the last few weekends we have […]

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I love Disney films or the way that they leave me feeling happy inside (apart from ‘Up’, let’s never again mention ‘Up’) and this film is no exception. The main story within ‘Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue’ pulls on the adult need for proof before […]
