If you take a look at his back catalogue on the Internet Movie Database you'll quickly see just how instrumental Armando Ianucci has been in shaping British comedy. For the past 15 years he has been one of the creative geniuses behind the likes of Brass Eye, The Day Today and even Alan Partridge.
But one of his greatest creations has been The Thick of It which is a spoof fly-on-the wall insight into the working of government departments. What you say, doesn't sound very funny? You're wrong. Very wrong.
It's hilarious.

Finally got around to going where no man has gone before ... ok thousands had been before me because the film's been out for weeks - Star Trek.

But after two hours seven minutes - you know it wasn't so bad.
REVIEW: Angels and Demons

I have a confession to make (which is kind of apt for a couple of films about Catholicism). No matter how unfashionable it is to say it, I kinda liked The Da Vinci Code movie.
Yes, I know, it was over-hyped to the hilt, but it was good fun.

Film of the year so far is Gran Torino.
Clint Eastwood's latest directorial outing is, as you would expect from one of the masters of the silver screen, brilliant.
