Hot Fuzz.  Very good fun.  An accurate depiction of the English countryside town.  Wonderful Timothy Dalton performance too.

Finally got around to watching "State Of Play"... the movie not the series. Well crafted silly political thriller. Been awhile since there's been a decent newspaper movie. Good acting all around. Solid script, though I figured out the twist early on, they played it just right in terms of story beats.

8.145 people putting careers way before friendship outta 10

watched the above sandwiched between most of Blade Runner & The Matrix (missed the first few minutes of each) which were playing on some HD channel sans commercials. New Years rung in just as Joey Pants started unplugging people, feeling up Trinity. Is it a sign of the year to come?

I recommend the series.  It's worth it just for Bill Nighy's performance

It's on the list.

Bill Nighy's one of my faves

Watching the latest Robin HOod BBC series.  Ain't bad.  Ain't good either with Robin being opposed to violence and some Moorish chick wandering around telling everyone about the evil Christian Crusaders wrecking the Holy Land.


What, Islam spread as far as it did through peaceful means?  WTF.

Semi-Pro: Meh. OK. Far more entertaining and makes you smile than laugh out loud though.

Oof, I hated that series. Probally would have liked it when I was a kid but it gives nothing to adult me.
I saw a poster for a new Robin Hood film starring Russel Crowe at the cinema yesterday though. I'm hopeful.

I compare the RObin Hood BBC series to the Robin of Sherwood series from the eighties, which was trippy and druidy.  Both are good in their own way, and definitely entertaining.

I'll give it this much: the Sheriff is one badass Joker-esque bag of crazy.

Russell Crowe as Robin Hood? I dunno. That sounds like odd casting. He's more one of the merry men. Alan O Day maybe or better yet have him play Gisbourne. (or Lionheart at the end, though they should really go there.)

He might not have the raw size, but he has the right look for Little John IMO.

The trailer I saw for that made it look Robin Hood is just Maximus reincarnated.
