Ah right, that explains it - I didn't see the end of credits bit. :)

I watched a load of 'The Walking Dead' episodes from season 2. The later episodes have improved it quite a bit. The series is coming to the end of this season. A few surprises in the storyline.

I then watched episode 13 from season 4 of 'Fringe'. Oh dear! Unlucky for some(see the ending of this episode).

Started on 3 new shows this week.

Alcatraz - started not bad. Am hoping for more though

Touch - Brilliant show. Keifer Sutherland plays his part exceptionally well. Looking forward to episode 2 next week. By the guy who did Heroes so there are tons of interlinking stories, but pull together nicely.

Awake - Another fantastic show. Cop living two alternate lives after a car crash. One with his son dead and wife alive, the other with the wife alive and son dead. Really enjoying this.

Going to try House of Lies later.

I watched more of 'The Good Wife' and 'The Big C'. Great to see Michael J. Fox in 'The Good wife' again. His character is interesting.

I then watched the film version of 'The Singing Detective'. It does follow the TV series pretty closely(although transporting the story to an American setting), but it loses a lot of what made the TV series so special, despite the fact that Potter wrote the script for it shortly before he died.

Ohhh... and season 4 of 'Breaking Bad' has arrived in the post. It was a German DVD import. Going to try and watch that soon. I thought that season 3 was great. Hopefully, this season will be good as well.

Whatched House of Lies earlier and liked that too. Tried ep 1 of Franklin and Bash too. Whilst I did enjoy it I just don't think I have enough time to add that series to my watch list.

Watched episode one of The Apprentice (good, as always) and tried to watch a few more eps of Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy to see if it improves given exposure but it's embarrassing, innit? I like the Boosh but this is just really unfunny, often pretentious tosh and it's sad the way he's always trying to be 'in' with the music world, like he's still 20 or something (he's 39 in a couple of months). Pity, because it often manages to be visually beautiful, and the German bird is well fit.

Definitely try Awake Ant. I can see Touch going the same way as Heroes eventually but is promising enough right now. House of Lies is good, it is about a ruthless group of Management Consultants. Lots of talking to camera etc. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Am a bit spoiled for TV even though my previous faces have all ended for a while.

I just watched the film of Gorillaz playing the album "Demon Days" live at the Manchester Opera House back in 2006. Just awesome man, wish I had been there to actually see it. I would have been just discovering Demon Days around that time, too.

I've just finished watching the first episode & found it to be thoroughly entertaining, although Kiefer will always be Jack Bauer to me. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing (for me) as I loved 24. :)

I watched 'The Exorcist' for the first time. Yes, I know a bit late for some. It wasn't the director's cut. A pretty good ghost story as well as being about loss of faith. A shame I had to view it in 4:3 ratio(blast you ITV4!).

I then watched the documentary 'Blue Moon Rising' about Manchester City. I am not a football fan, but even though I still thought it was quite an interesting story.

Watched the last house on the left remake. I've always thought the original was pretty gash,but maybe i've only seen a cut to shreds version.

This version was entertaining enough,raising hope's dad as krug though,he's just too nice for all the nasty shenanagins.

It passed a couple of hours but I wont be in any hurry to watch it again.

Also,a few days ago I watched Evidence,another found footage horror film. You kinda know what to expect from these films though,and even though this one tried to go a different way towards the end,i still found myself shaking my head as the credits rolled. Watchable but nothing more.

Have you seen The Rite? its showing on sky movies now. I thought it was pretty good, and Anthony Hopkins is brilliant in it, as always. Well worth a watch if you havent seen it already.
