Vote me for President
With all the political going on in the USA lately, i have had the urge to start watching old episodes of The West Wing that I conveniently have here at home on DVD. I started in series 6 which was the nominations for the canidates and now i am into series 7 which the presidential [...]
Time for some Spooks
Home tonight and in plent of time to catch the return of a favourite tv show Spooks which after a long wait is finally having a new series on tv here. Apparently we are only two series behind the UK where the show originates.
As the name might suggest, Spooks is a spy show and the [...]
Damn song in my head
You know how you sometimes get a song stuck in your head? Well maybe not but i do sometimes get songs stuck in my head and it annoys the crap out of me. At present i have this song stuck in my head and while it is the kind of bitter and twisted song that [...]
I am Legend
On the weekend i rented I am Legend which turned out to be better than i expected. The story is an interesting one in that a virus engineered to cure cancer instead turns out to be drastically bad and wipes out some of the population, turns the majority into zombie like killers and just 12 [...]
Ahhh crap not again
It just crossed my mind that tv wise the next few months are going to be … painful. On Sunday night it seems that big brother is going to be starting and it doesn’t appeal to me in the least. So what it means is that every ad break is going to include an ad [...]
Underbelly already?

This isn’t the leaked copies but rather the real deal. I wonder how long until someone sends a [...]
Back on the Hustle
Happy days are here again, at least in the land of dvds and me. I happened to notice that series two of Hustle was out in the stores and had to snatch it for myself. For those that haven’t heard of it is in the style of Oceans 11 and Confidence with the criminals conning [...]
I don’t believe i did that
I don’t know why i do it but again i watched Sea Patrol this week. I should know better but it seems not as the poor acting, worse dialogue and implausible storyline overwhelmed me with its … pathetic nature.
In tonight’s episode the ship was taken over by some former military types who were holding two [...]
Hitman
As last night was Saturday night, the night of love and romance everywhere and where single people everywhere i did what comes naturally and … hell who am i fooling, i stayed home alone with the dog, a pizza and a movie.
The choice of movie for the night was Hitman which i never quite got [...]
