All the tennis talk this week has obviously been about Serena Williams threatening line judges and officials at the US Open, but the real talk should have been about one of the best ever shots. Roger Federer, who has to be the greatest ever tennis player, plays an incredible shot in the final game of his [...]
These last a couple of days I’ve had a bit of a cold and usually some Panadol and a good night’s sleep does the trick. During Ramadan though, I (like most of us) have been losing out on sleep time during the night. I’ve been going to bed really late and having to get up [...]
Here’s the official trailer for the movie made from footage of Michael Jackson’s rehearsals for the concert tour that he was preparing before he died. To be honest when I first heard they were going to make such a movie I wondered if it would really do one of the world’s greatest ever entertainers justice. Having seen the trailer, it [...]
A few weeks ago I wrote about the movie District 9 and this weekend I got the chance to actually watch it. The first thing I have to say about the movie is that if you don’t like movies about aliens, give this movie a miss. Oh and if you’re expecting another Independence Day, where [...]
I don’t normally eat fast food but when I do its really tough for me to go anywhere other than McDonald’s, especially here in Kuwait. For me its their fantastic french fries that hook me in.

I received this via an email this morning. It one of the coolest things ever. I’ve tried it 3 times and each time it comes up with the correct answer. I have no idea how it does it. Check it out. Click on the link below and follow carefully the onscreen instructions. There is sound which takes time [...]
I finally managed to get hold of a good copy of Bruno, which stars Sacha Baron Cohen who played Borat and Ali G. I had a feeling this movie wouldn’t be worth watching here in the cinema. And I was right ! Actually it will never, ever open here in the cinema. There are a few [...]
A food company in Britain recently conducted a survey of the public to find out what the top 100 most annoying things were. Coming out at No. 1. is something you would only really understand if you’ve spent some time in England. In first place, the most annoying thing to people in the UK, are Chavs ! It is [...]
During Ramadan I always try to catch up with all the flms I have been meaning to watch. So I will be posting a few movie reviews over the next few days. Sometimes movies slip in the “I must watch that sometime” list because of the stars, or the budget/marketing. You could call Eagle Eye [...]
