We are big Kevin Spacey fans, so were eager to see this and, once again we weren’t disappointed. Wonderfully acted by all the leads, with a nicely paced story, and enough involvement that you actually cared what had happened. This kind of movie doesn’t always get the credit it deserves but as a slow-burner it had a nice twist or two at the end, perfectly conducted to throw you off balance. Dealing with capital punishment as a theme, and with some uncomfortable scenes, the whole thing was well directed and Kate Winslet performed well. This will definitely be a DVD purchase.

1, 2, 3… awwwwwww
Alex fulfills another item on the ‘personal website must-haves’ list. Yes he’s posted pictures of his and Becca’s new cat Lucy.
Ain’t she cute.
Lucy. Not Becca. Although Becca is cute. So is Alex but not AS cute as Becca nor Lucy. Errmm.. I think I’ll stop before I get into trouble.

Couple of quick questions
Does anyone notice or read the quotes that appear at the top of this page? (top-right)
Has anyone used the search engine to find anything on this site?
Should I change the ‘Tune of the Moment’ more often?

Robin Cook
I don’t tend to comment on politics but I did over at Shelaghs place. My initial reaction to the resignation of Robin Cook (aside from the usual burst of apathy) was that, once again, a politician was using a national event to play a political card.
However, Mr.Cook appeared on BBC Breakfast this morning, stating in full why he resigned, and talking about his resignation speech.
So Mr.Cook, I apologise (in part). I think you DID do the right thing, although I think that people should remember just how shrewd a politician you are, and all the implications that go with that statement.
