Exploring Dover

Monday 31 July 2017


.
I went on a lil day trip last week to Dover to see what all the fuss was about. The cliffs were pretty impressive, although the town itself didn't seem anything out of the ordinary. In fact, the town seemed to have a strange dynamic of Nationalistic Britishness. Being so close to France that my cellphone stopped working, locals here will go out of their way to let you know you're in England. For me this moment occurred when a pub owner came out onto the street and asked me how many photos I had taken of his building. I said just the one, and he said ok, that will be 10p. He was joking of course, but I got the feeling that tourists weren't his favourite customers. And perhaps fair enough, as the cliff paths were full of large groups of French and German school kids all trying to stand as close to the edge as possible without their teachers having full blown heart attacks. 


Dunkirk | Film Review

Saturday 22 July 2017


Gamelkateinthecinema | Dunkirk


Director: Christopher Nolan
Release: 2017
Writer: Christopher Nolan | Based on historic events
Genre: Action/drama/history
Rating: PG-13


.

I went to see this movie for perhaps the same reason as everyone else in the cinema; to find out if Christopher Nolan could pull off an historical war piece. Being known more for his psychological thrillers, Nolan really has opened himself up to wider directing methods with his latest film Dunkirk.

Goodwood Festival of Speed | My Highlights Reel

Saturday 1 July 2017

.
On Saturday I went along to the Goodwood Festival of Speed in Chichester, West Sussex. It was a full day of events, very well organised to showcase vehicles from all areas of performance. The main event is the hill climb, with cars from 6 different classes. These Batches were; pre WWI, touring, rally NASCAR and drift, sports cars and GTs, F1, Ferrari and single seaters, and Supercars. As well as this there was an aero section including typhoon and red arrow displays, helicopters and other historic planes, and an action sports section with BMX, mountain bike and motocross.
