Hot Like Curry

One of the many benefits of living in the UK is the closeness to all things Indian. Apart from the people and the food there is also the Indian Channel on TV. The other night, for instance, I stayed up after everyone else had gone to bed to watch the UK network premiere of Policegiri.

Up and About

Here are the latest films of wee Sean. In the first he is slowly regaining his appetite after spending a week with ear infection and fever. In the second one he demonstrating his new found love of walking.

Born Slippy

Perk of being the last one to leave the office on a Friday afternoon:
I can rock out to Underworld and pretend I am one of the characters in Trainspotting, something that really doesn't go down well with others in the office.

Looking Back

Here is a four-sentence re-cap of the Eriksonian weekend:

• Friday night the Mrs. and myself went to see Sucker Punch (as mentioned earlier, but definitely worth mentioning twice). Haven't been to the movies in a while, so that was a real treat.


• Saturday I helped a friend move, always nice to get a free workout...


• Sunday I did a 20K run. It was totally alright, the only irritating thing about it is the ridiculously high number of bug bites one can acquire in a bit over two hours outside.

Consider Me Punched

At the moment I am at the office listening to Bjork's Army of Me and dreaming about a land with school girl uniforms, samurai robots and wicked gun fights. Sucker Punch was phenomenal and had the best use of a Bjork song in a film since Leon.

Sucker Punch

First on in the office, which mean I get to do my thing while blasting The Stone Roses and The Vaselines - Awesome.

Speaking of awesome, the trailer for Sucker Punch is out:

'09 Revisited

Earlier this year I listed the most anticipated films of '09. The year is now coming to an end and it is time to double check the list:

• Terminator Salvation - Never saw it. It got terrible reviews, meant to see it on DVD - but couldn't be bothered in the end.
• Boondock Saints II, All Saints Day - Good film. Not as good as the first one, but no one expected it to be. I experienced my first (and hopefully last) full blown skull splitting migraine attack while seeing the film in theatre so the second part of it a bit hazy...
• Inglourious Basterds - Kicked ass! So good I had to see it twice in theatre. The second time I apparently fell asleep and snored my way through the whole thing, but that's beside the point.
• X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Liked this a lot. Saw it in theatre, bought it the second it came out on DVD.
• Watchmen - It was everything I expected it to be. Just another proof of the genius of fellow Northamptonian Alan Moore.
• Public Enemies - Johnny Depp delivered! This movie had everything a man can possibly desire: Bank Heists, 20's slang and Leelee Sobieski.

I've seen some trailers that make '010 look like another sweet film year, guess we have to wait and see.

Return of the Vamps

The wife, her sister and myself went to the midnight showing of New Moon last night. As a result of distinct lack of sleep I almost fell asleep during a meeting this morning. The film was good, it had more funky vampires and quirky dialog than the first one. Now I need to re-heat some old coffee, so I can finish the day.

Anime Forever

Now it is time to watch Fist of the North Star online.

Shepherds We Shall Be...

The trailer for Boondock Saints II: All Saint's Day is on Youtube!!
