Leaving Sky Cinema in December 2017
A look back at 2006 in film!
I don’t see 2006 as 10 years ago I mean that is just madness. But it has been a whole decade now since that year, which is terrifying in all honesty. I thought it was a perfect opportunity to have a look back in this blog post at the films from 2006, the ones I enjoyed at the time, the ones I have caught up with and quite frankly the ones which are getting better with age and standing the test of ten years.
2006 was also pre-blog so I don’t even have many reviews for films from that year, if you search 2006 as a tag I am sure you will be shocked to see the lack of reviews. Especially when one of them is a bit of a strange film choice.

Jackman Considered Quitting X-men
I bet he is glad he did not quit !!!
Australian actor Hugh Jackman contemplated walking away from the X-men franchise after the third movie – because he feared his character Wolverine had gone too “soft”.
Jackman reprises his role as the superhero in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the fourth movie of the cult series.
But the film almost didn’t happen, because after Jackman had completed 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand he considered stepping down from the role amid concerns over his character’s development.
He says, “One thing I never felt we got with Wolverine that I really wanted to get is that berserker rage which is talked about in the comic books.
“It felt like Wolverine had got a little soft by X-Men 3 and I wanted to take it back to that bad a** quality. He’s tough, he’s gruff, he’s not politically correct – he doesn’t say the right things.
“There has to be complexity to this character. He’s very tough but there’s a lot of pain, history to his life that you find out about. It’s not pretty. He’s a flawed character. That’s what I like about it, that’s why I’m doing it for the fourth time or else I wouldn’t.”
