Loved this, a smart action movie. In some ways it reminded me of Three Kings although that was fictional events set at the end of the Gulf War and more darkly comic than serious. I would happily watch both again. The starting point of the movie is based on ( Read more... )

Back in January the BBC aired two documentaries about Barack Obama marking his first full year in office. By the People: The Election of Barack Obama which as a behind the scenes documentary was really interesting, and very exciting to see young people motivated to be involved in politics, and the other more informative from Simon Schama and an ( Read more... )

So Michael Moore is a kind of a either you love/hate kind of guy. I like him, he makes serious issues entertaining in his documentaries and that make me think about it afterwards. I am well aware that his documentaries are not without bias - but then why should Fox News be the only ones? ( Read more... )

kalalanekent asked for more photos of the Daily News building in NYC, aka The Daily Planet in Superman Reeveverse so here goes starting with a video in the direction Clark and Lois walk in the lobby because yes I'm *that* geeky ;)

Well there's no photo a day for the weekend because its taken me ALL weekend to get my holiday photos uploaded. Ironic huh? I've dated them 'out of order' on LJ so you'll find them posted on actual days they represent. Of course much is for my own historical record but am hoping there's some stuff of interest to my f-list - should be for Hot Fuzz ( Read more... )

I had an amazing time and will post photos when I go home at the weekend. swankyfunk thankyou for dragging me to all those awesome places with Phil. He had a great time too ( Read more... )

Today was the last day in NYC but are flight was in the evening so we made the most of the morning doing last minute trips to buy stuff.

Phil treated himself to a new ipod from the Apple Mac store, we both stared at the beautiful male models ( Read more... )

Superman fans how could I go to NYC and not visit The Daily Planet building? Better known to New Yorkers as The Daily News building. That's exactly how I started day 5. Followed by a trip to the Guggenheim via Central Park. At the Guggenheim was a bit of drama that caused a small fall out between me and Phil. Unknown to me he'd been feeling ( Read more... )

For this day I give huge thanks to swankyfunk for acting as a guide for me and Phil and taking us to some rather awesome places to spend our money and eat-a-plenty. This was so much fun :D Hot Fuzz fans reading - might want to skip to NYPD museum pics for amusement - I guess potentially this might count as Pegg Pavement? It's not a filming location but I ( Read more... )
