Lovefilm – Part 1

I got a free three month trial membership to Lovefilm just before christmas, so I’ve been using it to the full over the last three months. Basically, I can have two films at home at any time and as soon as I send them back, two more off my list are dispatched to me.

Anyway, here is a list of what I have watched over the last three months…

– The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe
I liked the first quarter or maybe half of this film, which ties in with the book. I always get bored at about the point that Aslan gets involved and the film was no exception. This was made worse by the fact that Aslan is played by who is just about the worse voice over actor going… [IMDb]


This was enjoyable, nothing remarkable but a worthwhile watch all the same. Tells the true-ish story of Coach Carter as he struggles to turn a bunch of no hope basketball players into a winning team. puts in a great performance and makes the film. [IMDb]

Curious George
This was just a joy. The story wasn’t great but the animation style is lovely and the soundtrack so complements the laid back nature of the film. [IMDb]




Dark WaterDark Water
A woman moves into a “haunted” apartment with her child. The film was ok, is very good in it. [IMDb]




Dreamcatcher
Based on the book of the name name by . This was let down by when he plays the Alien Mr Grey. Apart from that it is what it is. [IMDb]

If there is a God…

If I’ve been wrong all this time, and there is indeed a God and therefore some better place that we may or may not go to when our time is up, I really hope that Bob Bradley is now with his wife Mim.

Holiday

I’ve been on holiday in for the last week. It was the first time Victoria and me have had a holiday in 7 years. Yes, we’ve done the odd weekend away with the kids, or even the odd night away without them, but this was the first real holiday.

We drove up to on Saturday 31st March to drop the children off with my parents; they kids were so looking forward to a week with their grandparents, and I think that overall helped with the decision to go away without them. I shalln’t drive with the children again during the day, all we had for 5 hours was Jacob asking, “Why are we no at Grandie’s yet, this is BORING!”

Sunday morning we got up at 4am and drove to Manchester Aiport. It has to be said that for an International Airport, Manchester is a dump! For both Arrivals and Departures we should be ashamed of it.

We flew to Munich Airport, which I have to say is just so lovely; a better airport I have never seen. We flew with Lufthansa which was a realy nice flight. The small plane was suprisingly roomy; I had no problem with leg room at all. There was drinks and food during the flight, albeit a ham sandwich, but it was good nonetheless. Although for transfer time we had only 20 minutes until boarding started, we made the boarding with 15 minutes to spare! The whole process was effortless.

We then flew from Munich to Naples Airport which turned out to be not much better than Manchester Airport! Again the flight was good, with another sandwich and drinks to see us through the 2 hour journey.

The italians showed there usually ambivalence to security… we arrived and walked straight out to baggage claim and then out of the airport – no checks at all!

We picked up the Hire Car and then the fun began…

Canadian Geese

Canadian GeeseThe Canadian Geese have been slowly returning to North Harbour over the last few weeks. I find it interesting to watch them wander around the grounds in groups of two… they pair for life… are they happy? Who knows they always looks the same! 🙂

Butlins

ButlinsOk, just got back into work after a weekend in – . The reason we went to Butlins was because Victoria wanted to take the kids away for a weekend of fun which is something that Butlins offers. The reason for was because it is just 30 minutes down the road from IBM which meant I could drive there on Friday after work and then back here Monday without needing to take any costly leave.
