Well hello again everybody, here is my latest rambling set of thoughts. In terms of films on TV next week there isn't a great set, the tv channels are saving up for the Christmas glut no doubt. Film of the week is undoubtedly Batman Begins. It has a great cast, great script is well acted and has undoubtedly saved the franchise. Arguably it is a better film than its more vocal successor The Dark Knight. On the same night, Sunday, there is Kelly's Heroes which is something of an odd war film. It is delightfully daft, exciting, funny, moving at times but always worth a look.
As trailed last week I have now watched the Renegade Version of Highlander 2. Is it better than the theatrical release I hear you cry? Yes but only marginally. Some of the additional scenes do help the film make more sense but still the film is disappointing. Perhaps after the original film anything would be disappointing.
John O'Farrell's latest book was, as expected very entertaining, possibly not as good as the first history book but nevertheless a good read. Currently I have 2 books on the go. Ranulph Fiennes' family history is shaping up nicely and P J O'Rourke's latest offering looks like it could be a good read.
This week we have a voyage south to that centre of the universe Worksop and a rugby match in Otley. On Tuesday I have my PGCE interview, fingers crossed there and lip well and truly bitten. We are wondering if my 10 year old will carry through with his strike threat and if so how we will notice that it has started.
Well more later
