OneRayHill: December 2012
http://onerayhill.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
And I feel like everything's untrue, and I'm holding on to this spinning room.' (T.C. 2014). Friday, December 14, 2012. The Perks of Being A Wallflower. This is one of those films where, if you haven't read the book, it's probably best not to know too much. I'd seen the trailer a couple of times and though it looked interesting and, boy, was I in for something unexpected. Without going overboard, without a doubt The Perks of Being A Wallflower. Is the movie of the year. The third of the trio is Patrick, ...

OneRayHill: Reset & recap
http://onerayhill.blogspot.com/2014/06/reset-recap.html
And I feel like everything's untrue, and I'm holding on to this spinning room.' (T.C. 2014). Thursday, June 26, 2014. So it's been quite a while between posts and I guess I lost a bit of interest. I think it is good for me to continue to share things on this blog so I've decided to reboot and will make an effort to be fairly regular. Habits can be harder to form than you'd think but writing this blog is a good habit and hopefully it will encourage me to pick up other good habits. Feel free to interact.

OneRayHill: Craig

And I feel like everything's untrue, and I'm holding on to this spinning room.' (T.C. 2014). Sunday, September 14, 2014. Every now and then you meet someone that has a huge impact on your life. You know that idea that people are around for a reason or a season etc etc? Well, earlier, I was reminded of a friend whose name is Craig and to be honest I have no idea what he's up to now. But for a good couple of years we were great friends and his friendship was one that was very valuable at a very tough time.

OneRayHill: Making a change
http://onerayhill.blogspot.com/2014/03/making-change.html
And I feel like everything's untrue, and I'm holding on to this spinning room.' (T.C. 2014). Monday, March 10, 2014. It's not a matter of just want, or even need. I must change. To put it very broadly, I'm 39 shortly and I'm not particularly happy with things. Being a bit more specific, though, I need a whole change of attitude, of outlook and of shape. It was actually last night when I looked at myself that it occurred to me that I'm not getting any younger and I'm starting to look it. So that's one part.

OneRayHill: March 2013
http://onerayhill.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
And I feel like everything's untrue, and I'm holding on to this spinning room.' (T.C. 2014). Thursday, March 14, 2013. Oz The Great and Powerful. I'm not a fan of unnecessary sequels, so imagine how I feel about unnecessary prequels! Well, Oz The Great and Powerful. Is definitely an unnecessary predecessor to a timeless classic,. The Wizard Of Oz. Before I discuss the film, it's worth thinking about the merits of it first. Along the way to the Emerald City, Oz comes across Finley (Zach Braff) a monkey (w...

And I feel like everything's untrue, and I'm holding on to this spinning room.' (T.C. 2014). Tuesday, December 31, 2013. The 2013 Raymo awards. Another year at the movies is done and dusted and this year I saw a slightly below average 33. Films at the cinema (thanks Reading and the JAFFA club). So here's the top 5 of 2013:. 2 The Spectacular Now (9/10). 5 The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (8.5/10). Lincoln, Gravity, Fast and Furious 6 (who would have thought the franchise could get better! Flop of the year:.

OneRayHill: June 2014
http://onerayhill.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
And I feel like everything's untrue, and I'm holding on to this spinning room.' (T.C. 2014). Saturday, June 28, 2014. The Fault In Our Stars. What a surprise The Fault In Our Stars. Turned out to be! I must admit I didn't know a lot about it until I saw the preview and upon seeing it I thought it looked good but not engaging, warm, funny and emotional. It's of course based on the book, which I have not read so didn't have any attachment to it. The plot is your somewhat typical teenage love story (that's ...

OneRayHill: August 2013
http://onerayhill.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
And I feel like everything's untrue, and I'm holding on to this spinning room.' (T.C. 2014). Monday, August 12, 2013. Generation i - surprise CD of 2013. I must admit that I had never entertained the thought that there could be a new album by 1927 given it has been 21 years since the last one. But a few days ago I bought Generation i and I've hardly been able to put it down. They released three albums - .ish in 1988, The Other Side a couple of years later and a self-titled album in 1992. I recall seeing ...

OneRayHill: May 2013

And I feel like everything's untrue, and I'm holding on to this spinning room.' (T.C. 2014). Monday, May 27, 2013. The Pros and Cons of slipping up. So I was trucking along very well with 18 days of no playing the machines. While on holidays I slipped up, I have to admit deliberately, and spent time playing them. On the plus side, I won quite a bit. On the minus side, today I did it again and lost quite a bit. I learnt a lesson that could have been a lot more costly. Wednesday, May 22, 2013. It hasn't be...

OneRayHill: The 2014 Raymo Awards
http://onerayhill.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-2014-raymo-awards.html
And I feel like everything's untrue, and I'm holding on to this spinning room.' (T.C. 2014). Monday, December 29, 2014. The 2014 Raymo Awards. It's that time of the year again! Margaret and David may be gone but here's my take on 2014 in film. Films at the cinema this year (thanks as always to JAFFA and Reading Cinemas) and I have to say the quality was mighty high. Of the 33, 12 films scored 8/10 or above (six over 9/10) and another 11 scored 7/10 or better. 3 Guardians Of The Galaxy (9/10). Well, that ...
