Half-decent? That's a stellar cast! I have seen it, but seem to remember it not being as good as its parts. I think I've seen a lower budget version that was better.
Tongue in cheek re cast. Film has crap music and editing but great acting. More about the post robbery backstabbing than anything.
Win-Stone never bettered his role as Gorgeous Gal Dove in Sexy Beast, it felt like a role written for him
Great evening last night. Finished work early and caught the train up to Glasgow to meet my son from work, then headed to Sugo, a pasta restaurant in the city we'd heard good reviews about. It's down the end of Mitchell Street in the city centre, and is surprisingly large inside. Ww'd tried to book ahead, but were told it was walk-ups only. It looked very busy (Friday evening, so you'd expect it to be) but we were seated pretty quickly. Open kitchen, which is always a good sign I think, but also in a seperate part of the room an open section where they were making fresh pasta in various shapes and styles. A small menu, pretty authentic looking. We opted for some sourdough with olive oil and balsalmic to start with, son had an arriabiata fettucini whilst I had rigatoni with spiced pork and nduja. A drink a piece too....ordered at 1730, on the table ten minutes later. Friendly service, the food was delicious - all for a touch over £40. Left and jumped in the car over to the Southside to Queens Park Arena. First time I've been to this venue, it's a medium sized amphitheatre in the park, holds about 1000.. Sat about in the park for a while soaking up a bit of the sun, which was a surprise as it had been pissing down all morning. Got in to the venue, pints of Joker IPA on draught for £6.50, some nice looking street food on offer too. Headed in to the arena itself to catch the evenings support act, German twee-pop Anna Erhard . Started off a bit slow, but she grew in to it. Reminded me a bit of Pip Blom. Then on to the main event, Yard Act. Probably not on most of your radars, from Leeds, a blend of Post-Punk with some Indie-rock. This was the fourth time we've seen them, and they just keep getting better. From early stuff like Dark Days and Fixer Upper, to the melodic tunes on album 2, and finishing off with crowd pleaser Trench Coat Museum They played for just under an hour and a half, and have come a long way since we first saw them. I do love an outdoor gig, especially when the weather holds out. Brilliant evening
Anybody watched Human on BBC4? Fascinating 5-part documentary tracing our ancestors from 300,000 years ago in Africa, to spreading across the globe reaching Australia and the Americas, living alongside the many different species of humans before being the only ones left, and how we've become the dominant species on the planet. Well worth a watch
