my music

I believe that with few exceptions, there isn't much music I like from the period after Mozart died and until the Rolling Stones came along.

my books

I love reading good books. A good book is one that teaches me something, makes me look at the world in a new way, or takes me to a place I hadn't imagined before.

the hire – the escape

After a fifteen year hiatus from films, BMW posted this on the internet. It is either the first film in a third series, or the last of the films. It is a bit longer and more complex than the earlier films. It is directed by Neil Blomkamp.

the hire – beat the devil

This is the third and last film in the second series of BMW’s “The Hire” short films. This was directed by Tony and Ridley Scott. Not only do we get James Brown, but we get Gary Oldham, and a cameo from Marilyn Manson.
