Three things about The Dark Knight and one thing about a burger van
If you’re going to see The Dark Knight, try and get to an IMAX cinema. Some of the scenes are jaw-dropping on that there giant projecto-screen. Even though it’s too long and tries a bit too hard to make parallels with current events, it’s still enormously exciting. I can’t believe it’s been given a 12A…

The Supersmoker: Cigs 2.0?
A few weeks ago I promised to blog about the Supersmoker, an electronic cigarette. Sorry it took so long but hey! Better late than never!
