TV and Film

Perhaps that if his name happened to be Bob Marley, the event could have stayed in Colombia. Heather, you know what I mean.

I just remembered this political series of a woman becoming prime minister got awful ratings, but was really very good.

Her basic premise was that she may be no better, but at least she was honest.

However, the best uk political series was undoubtedly A Very British Coup. It is a the story of an left wing government, taking on the right wing establishment aka the civil service and the british institutional way of life and the tradition of class.

We have a political comedy over here, too, but I actually haven't watched it yet lol haven't gotten around to watching so many shows!

Veep is the name. You might get to it before me lol so if you do, then you can let me know how it is =p Now I am adding a bunch of shows to my list of things to watch!

I watched In Bruges the other night.

I'll try to watch it.

I kept wondering where I recognized Brendan Gleeson from... I still am not entirely sure lol it might have been from Lake Placid, but that was forever ago. I also watched Troy, which he was in, but no way I recognized him there!

Loved it... Had my sense of humour..

We also loved Snatch and Lock stock and two smoking barrels.. Also really funny films (if you have a slightly twisted sense of humour)

Love stuff by Simon Pegg.. Worlds end, Shaun of the dead and Hot Fuzz..


More controversely I laughed myself silly watching Four lions, a film about totally inept British Jhadists and their attempt to make an impact!

Yep loved Paul too.. I thought Simon Pegg also bought humour to Star Trek as scotty..
TOS had humour but much of that was lost along the route with TNG DS9 and voyager..

HAHA four lions, classic.
i love this film so much!! some of my fave quotes from it;
Rubber dingy rapids, Bro!
I'm not confused brother! I just took picture of my face, and it's deffo not my confused face.
They'll stuff you full of viagra and make u f**k a dog! U will end up on YouTube blowing lassie in a ditch! Waj- are they gonna make me f**k a dog Omar?
and when the guy covers his beard and says 'can i have 12 bottles of bleach please'
OH my, to anyone whos NOT watched four lions, please please go watch it!!

Ride Along, and Get Hard are good comedies ive recently watched

This weekend DH took me to the cinema to watch "Crimson Peak". I actually don't like horrors, but this movie's trailer was really interesting and promising, so I thought I'd like to watch it and I was right. It's really well filmed, amazing costumes, great story and what I liked the most it wasn't too scary, just few moment, almost all of which were included to the official trailer. Won't tell anything else not to make spoiler, the only thing I think I should also add is that I wasn't so impressed by the movie since Interstellar, even though they are completely different with "Crimson Peak".

Watched Lord of War. Sure is scary to think about it being based on some real events lol

Cher, sometimes you are a true actor if you deal with the character that you are portraying without going over the top. Others, like Arnold and Sir Sean have an immediate recognition level. Understated can be very good.

For the Simon Pegg fans, check out Hector and the Search for Happiness - a film I feel is truly brilliant and under appreciated. Not as funny as Shawn of the Dead or Hot Fuzz, but still clearly Pegg, and a feel-good film too.

Simon Peggs was also great in the tv series Spaced.

In the old days natural disasters would occur, but lately it has become more about man-made disasters.
