Angel news

Angel is continuing to grow at the speed of light. Along with her physical growth hr confidence is soaring through the roof, she is a cocky little madame. She is as mad as a box of frogs she loves doing somersaults and exploring my wardrobe! She has got herself into a few scrapes, most note ably falling down my toilet.She has now completed her 1st injection course, is de-flea ed and de-wormed, with no problems at all. I've booked her for spaying and micro chipping in April. Whilst away Angel stayed with a friend and proceeded to take over her house, eat her plants and try to bully her 3 cats! She quickly, much to my relief!, settled back in my house and back to her normal routine.

What the postman brought me 6

Iam very exited about receiving Sugar rush series 1 DVD! I read the book in a day it refused to leave my hand! I have since read Julie Burchills autobiography ' I knew I was right' and it is the only autobiography i have read and thought that the author is a complete and utter bitch with no redeemable features. Even though i admire her honesty, it is a little too honest for my delicate palette!

Bargin of the day

Farahneight 9/11- £1.99 from the charity shop! I am looking for forward to watching this. Really love the cover picture of Micheal Moore and George Bush holding hands! I enjoyed Bowling for Columbine and must be the only person on earth who doesn't find Micheal Moore arrogant!

Street Kings

Acting and plot wise this was a terrible film! Cliched to hell, band of brothers with a rotten apple in the team, bad cops turning good,you get the picture! a complete rip off,of all the 7 series of The Shield in to a 90 minute film! Forest Whiticker saved the film, with his full of expression eyes. I find Hugh Lauries accent bizarre, which turns me off watching him and ruins any programme he is in. Keanu reeves was as wooden as my coffee table, the man can not act at all, his only redeeming feature is he is absolutely gorgeous! Sad thing is I'll never get back the time I wasted on this film!

The Black Candle

It is not a very fashionable thing to say that i have a soft spot for Catherine Cookson, but I don't care, i do! The reason I am so bold in my admiration of Catherine is she introduced me to adult literature so I owe her an enormous debt. The story was a typical Cookson, a maid with a bastard child, a nasty posh man, a loving working class man who meets a tragic end and a bunch of strong women! I will be the first to admit that the acting in this DVD wasn't Oscar standard but still enjoyable for a Sunday afternoon. Nathanial Parker was a stereotypical baddie, all he needed was a twirling dark mustache and Samantha Bond was a very believably Bernadette. The settings were poor, I could tell the rain was fake! Overall a pleasant way to spend 2 hours of my life!

Criminal Justice

http://http//www.imdb.com/title/tt1188927/ watched this over the course of a week, found it very thrilling and nerve wracking to watch! It confronted me with my worst fears, what if i was accused of crime I did not commit? The lead actor Ben wilshaw, who played the lead caractor was very convincing in his 'frightened rabbit role'. His eyes were flickering at one point which emphasised his fear, which i thought was a good acting tactic. Through out the programme I could almost taste his fear. The actor who played his lawyer Con O'Neil, even though he wasn't a particularly good actor there was something about his accent which as really striking. David Harewood was a menacing Kingpin in prison, he worked well for me because i have connotations of him being a 'good guy' so when he is a 'baddie', has a dramatic effect on me. Pete Poselthwaite was also very memorable as 'Hooch', a Judas type figure who is a listener in prison and commits the ultimate betrayal. My one criticism of him would be Found his acting slightly American, with lots of pouting! This is a show that will stay with me for a long time!
