Popcorn Moment: Before I Go to Sleep
Before I Go to Sleep is based on the novel of the same name by S.J. Watson, which I have previously devoured and loved. You can read my review of the book here. It’s one of those films whose effect is diminished a bit by…
Popcorn Moment: Life of Pi
It’s unusual for me to watch the film before the book but I was enthralled by the taster trailer of Life of Pi and mixed reactions to the book made me not want to spoil the film. It sounds like a bit of a marmite…
Popcorn Moment: The Hunger Games
I’m not going to say The Hunger Games is the best film ever but what they have done, is create a film for the readers. It doesn’t deviate from the plot or cut out great swathes, if anything, maybe they tried to cram a bit…
Popcorn Moment: We Bought a Zoo
Last year, I introduced you to the book and my thoughts of the forthcoming film adaptation of We Bought a Zoo by Benjamin Mee. I went to see the film at the cinema today and, to be honest, I had gone from being excited (about…
Popcorn Moment: Blade Runner
Can you believe Blade Runner will be 30 years old this year? Just one year younger than myself, it’s a film I’ve grown up with and Rutger Hauer still scares me. Many of the actors have gone onto other things, captain of Battlestar Galactica or…
Popcorn Moment: War Horse

We Bought A Zoo
I read We Bought a Zoo a few years ago in my pre-blog days and it’s remained one of my favourite non-fiction reads. It’s the story behind Dartmoor Zoo but more than that it’s the story of a man without a zoological background who one…
Ne le dis à personne
Or to give it its English title, Tell No One. Yes, this French film is based on Harlan Coben’s bestselling thriller. I have not read the book and so am not in a position to compare the two. If, like me, you’re not familiar with…

Popcorn Moment: Water For Elephants
I have just got back from a preview screening of Water For Elephants based on Sara Gruen’s excellent book. I know, for most of you, it’s already on general release, but here in the UK we’re always miles behind. The official UK release date is…
