Another two weeks almost

Ok so i set it in my mind (my diary) to keep this blog updated every two or three days and yet i find myself here and realise that its been almost two weeks since my last update !!!!!!!!!!!!

I know they say time flies but no one said that it went super sonic !!!!!!!

Ok not much of an update other than the wedding plans are going ok.  A lot will be sorted in the next couple of weeks (fingers crossed).  The weather had been really good for the last few days and even though there has been a lot of rain in the air and an awful lot more has been forecast for the next few days, the temperature seems to be holding out at about 15-16c (which isnt too bad).  Not been a lot happening other than going town a couple of times and walking the dog.

Had a lot of free time in the evenings and we have been watching some good movies lately.

Horrible Bosses - A very funny and engaging comedy that literally had us both crying with laughter.  Seeing Jennifer Anniston as a sex-mad dentist just about sealed the humour.  Jason Bateman once again was the best thing in the film and he is definitely one of my favorite actors at present.

Identity Thief - Not as funny as i thought it would be but still a good laugh.  Once again Jason Bateman starred, this time with Melissa Mccarthy.  Its a good road trip kind of movie and with the added bonus of Robert Patrick playing an old but wizened bounty hunter.  Good film but have seen better.

Dante 01.  Ok this wouldnt be to everyones taste as its a French film that has been dubbed in english.  Its a sci-fi horror about a mental asylum colony that is floating in space.  A ship is rescued and the newest inmate appears to be something more than human.   I would give this a go if you like out of the box - sci fi.

Now this last film really surprised me and to me its the best film I have seen in years.  Its a brazilian film called Elite Squad (The Enemy Within).  Its a fantastic action film that also has a lot of political agenda in it.  The violence is realistic and the story (though fiction) is scarily realistic.  I was hooked from the first five minutes and just lately have been giving foreign language films a go as its nice to see what other countries are capable of outside of Hollywood.  Its in Brazilian but the subtitles are really easy to follow and not intrusive. I picked this up from Poundland and its the best value from a pound that i have had.

On the gaming front i am still playing Bioshock Infinite and i am hoping that i am getting close to the end as i am getting a little bored with it now.  Its the same situation in different locations.

On that note i will disappear and will update soon
