It’s not often you get introduced to a kids cartoon as an adult and actually really like it, but that’s exactly what happened with ‘Invader ZIM’.

Well over 10 years ago, I made a promise to my girlfriend at the time, that I would read the Harry Potter books once I had seen all the movies.

‘Submarine’ is a film I first viewed at the 2011 IFF and it was the third film out of nearly 30 that I saw. When you see so many films, by the end of the festival it’s easy to forget the ones you’ve seen and what you thought about them.

There were many films at this year’s IFF that I missed seeing, and even with 30 films under my belt, I didn’t even make a major dent in the 150+ festival films being screened.

When I finally made it onto the press screening media list for Disney, I thought that a large majority of the films I’d be seeing would be kid and family friendly fair.

I admit that I’m a bit of a conspiracy theorist. Well, that’s maybe stating it lightly. Let me rephrase that. I’m a fairly decent sized conspiracy theorist!

Now, I’ll be the first to admit that if there’s one genre of film I just don’t have an interest in, other than its period costume dramas, is the ilk of ‘Pride and Prejudice’, although, as I’ve got older, I’ve been more inclined to give such things a try

I got my greasy little hands on another documentary series not so long ago, about the training of the elite Green Berets over in the States, which was a massive eye opener to witness what these guys are put through.

I reviewed an adult comedy only last week, that slightly missed the mark, so when I saw this one come up on my review radar for the week, I was a little tempered at going in full steam thinking it was going to be anything more than just solid.

Sun Tzu is a name I’ve heard of often, having worked in book stores for years, as his book, ‘The Art Of War’, though thousands of years old, is still a top seller in both the business and history sections of most book stores.
