"Warriors - come out and play" [video=youtube;dDH9Jq5AWkQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDH9Jq5AWkQ[/video]
The Warriors is the reworking of a classical story - Anabasis - written by a Greek Soldier and Historian called Xenophon about the exploits of a band of Greek mercenary soldiers hired to fight in a war over the Persian throne. Anabasis For atmosphere - 28 Days Later...
The ending is pretty weak, I concede. Almost looked as if they'd realised they'd painted themselves into a corner and didn't know what to do next, hence the '...and then he woke up...' ending. But throughout the film the atmosphere was good I thought. As a kid I loved 'Battle beyond the Stars'...
BREAKING NEWS: 'The Rockford Files' is utter ****e. FURTHER BREAKING NEWS: If you haven't watched 'The Wire' you're a twat.
I have watched the first 3 epsiodes of the wie on sky... its not great, just when does it get good? rockford files = greatest ever tv detective... far better than columbo or jessica fletcher or whatever crap 80s show you put it up against. finally watched bobby jones, touch of genius there recently and have gotten my hands on a copy of senna (freebie) finally. what are YOUR favorite sports films/documentaries.... please nobody say those ****e american football cliche films...
Have started watching the wire... watched ep4 last night.. i quite like it albeit its a bit slow still.
The first 4 or 5 episodes are all about laying the foundations for the whole 5 seasons - You'll understand the importance of this when you get further into it. Honestly though stick with it as it is truly immense once it really gets going.
Favourite sport TV/film was 'Bodyline'. A dramatised account of the infamous test series in Australia when we really gave it to those convict twats
Watched (part of) The Rum Diaries last night. I'm a big fan of the book and the author so was a bit worried that it would be rubbish but was kind of looking forward to it. I went into it with an open mind and was determined to enjoy it for what it was, I had heard it was pretty far removed from the book. It is absolute crap 4/10 for me, it's boring and the dialogue is terrible specially when you consider that they could have used what was already written for them but decided to ignore it. It's now on the infamous list of films I have turned off before the end. If you were thinking of watching it read the book instead.
