Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Watched an episode of Wiseguy - old undercover cop in the mafia TV show that's currently available on youtube.
It's a bit light in comparison to recent US dramas, but it has an ongoing storyline and some good performances....so it passes the time.

transformers 2 - wow, such inept film-making. i'm not usually too harsh on bay as i like his taste for the bombastic, but this was so appalling, even the actors seem to know it. megan fox didn't even need to be there and looked like she didn't want to be. only john tuturro seemed to be having fun.
it has one of the worst scribbledonthebackofabeermat story and script i've even encountered. the robots are shit too. they've made them too human. there's a wise old yoga-type robot with a rustic english accent and a walking stick, there's a wormtonguesque, servile evil sidekick robot too. it's ridiculous, but no fun whatsoever.

GI Joe. had this on my PC for ages and since the TV schedule was a bit barren we gave it a go. Pretty entertaining flim flam didnt have to think much if at all whilst watching it. Surprisingly enjoyable and certainly worth watching for some terrible british accents alone (makes don cheedles oceans 11 effort sound good!).
It's shite. I wanted the Sun Harvester thing to actually start working, dammit. I agree Tuturro's character was quite funny though, in his secret service underpants. And when the young geek starts crying.

finished off Readers Digest's best of Ronnie Barker volume 1 and the bonus of him on Wogan which was part lol and part
and Doctor Who - Horror Of Fang Rock with commentary. Apparentally Tom was a right egotistic cunt, and there's a lovely and funny in hindsight bit when Terrance starts talking about how 'Stephen Moffat, the writer of Coupling' is a fan and has just put Doctor Who jokes into the programme and he's a very nice man...'
Oh and thanks to the blobs robotic voice and shape-shifting/disgusing itself as human I now want next weeks episode of New Who to star a Rutan

Got it on DVD a few months ago - I only really remembered "Yosser's story" and "George's last ride" from the first time I saw it, but most stories in it are equally good.
The missus came back from the supermarket with "Invcitus" for me last night, so I watched it this morning while my wee girl was napping. It was quite good and affecting in all the right places, but a bit clunky dialogue-wise. Morgan Freeman was good, but I expected that. Not sure I'll watch it again, but it was worth watching once.
Some of those episodes made me proper cry. The one with Chrissie eating the last 2 slices of bread, which were the kids' breakfast - god, can't think about it without filling up. It's a fucking spot on dramatisation of what it was like round here in the 80s. My mum and dad were made redundant 11 times between them, them and my brother were all on the dole for years, I know that fucking horrible desperate feeling, and literally only having enough food to just about feed us

Dead Man/Something to Remind me - really intelligent well structured and thought though provocative film from Christian Petzold. Totally recommended.

Blame it on Fidel.
Middle class French couple decided to split from their bourgeois circle and join the workers' movement. Their 10 year old daughter takes a dim view.
The father in this one is actually presented as Allende's rep in France. This makes for some melancholy scenes, as we know how that one turned out in the end.

The father is supposed to be a disguised Costa-Gavras isn't it? i.e the directors real father.

Not sure if that's exactly the case. It was directed by Costa-Gavras's daughter but it's based on a novel by Domitilla Calamai. (Unfortunately, the book hasn't been translated into English.)
I did, however, read an interview with Julia Gavras where she said there were certain elements within the film that was inspired by her background but it was more to do with the relationship between the siblings.
Love that film.

Wait til you get into the 2nd and 3rd series, you'll grow to fucking love those boys

Hawking's Angry Eyebrow
I also found that the Bey-isms in the camerawork (big swoop around the character looking into the distance) annoying rather than enhancing (and yes, I liked the first Transformers movie as a piece of mindless entertainment)

Sorry to hear about your glasses. Been there. Rotten timing.

The Watchmaker of St. Paul.
'I stand in solidarity with my son'. This searing indictment of 1970s centers around a watchmaker (played by a dead ringer for Ted Heath) who is one day visited by the police, who tell him that his son is wanted for the killing of a factory security guard.
It's very much of its time, but still worth watching today.
