Dark Shadows - A Review/My Thoughts
First of all, to remove any doubt: I loved this film. True, this is the sort of genre I love anyway, the dark, surreal Gothic type of film, so I was always going to be bias. Sleepy Hollow is probably my favourite film of all time, and to be fair, if Tim Burton decided to make a film of grass growing slowly over the course of a week, I would probably go and see it.

Slightly surreal watching the Queen cruising along opposite to the bus you’re on..

It seems a long time ago, but I feel I should commemorate this in some way, so next month I shall have a week of posts about the novel, the writing of it, the response to it etc - and probably a giveaway as well. Quite a bit has happened with that novel, its amazing to think that it was a year...

St Peters Church, Woolton, Liverpool
I went to...
St Peters Church, Woolton, Liverpool
I went to primary school right by this. To be honest, these were not the days at all - quite the opposite, but nonetheless, cool photo and weird seeing it appearing on the internet.
