New-ish at the Movies: Elysium, Stoker, We’re the Millers, The Heat, Giselle, Private Peaceful, Reality and Now You See Me

With this year’s fest­iv­al now a rap­idly dimin­ish­ing memory – and my recov­ery from that event (plus anoth­er magazine pub­lished, some “live” pod­cast record­ings, a few Q&A’s, some dir­ect­or inter­views and a Big Screen Sym­posi­um) almost com­plete – I return to the com­mer­cial cinema and what do I find? Twenty-three new films have been released […]

Chocolate, chocolate and mama love

I have to talk mostly about chocol­ate this week. What with the New Zea­l­and chocol­ate fest­iv­al next week­end (Fri­day 5th to Sunday 7th), and Amora’s chocol­ate buf­fet over the fol­low­ing two weeks, it’d be rude not to. Unfor­tu­nately I can’t get to this year’s New Zea­l­and chocol­ate fest­iv­al, but I am SO going next year.  […]

LCB, TK and Sunday Stroopwafels

LCB.  Le Cor­don Bleu.  Learned culin­ary bestowers. Legends of cre­ativ­ity and bon­homie (yeah yeah enough already…). The LCB WOAP Haute Cuisine du Terroir on Fri­day night was pretty impress­ive (not least for being nearly five hours of imbib­ing instead of the planned three!).  Sev­en courses of French food matched with each an old world Bur­gundy […]
