Have watched first couple episodes of Breaking Bad (with the Dad off Malcolm in the Middle) and seems very promising. Very well done. Most recent favourite tv shows have all been American.... Ultimate Fighter, Dog Bounty Hunter, Survivor, Lost, Heroes, Eastbound and Down. The yanks are so much better at making tv shows, although I'd be lost without dreary Eastenders.

I watched one very good movie and one very bad movie at the weekend.The Good...Zodiac. Was really looking forward to seeing this and wasn't disapointed. It chronicles the killings of a serial killer, Zodiac, from '66 onwards, with Jake Glynenhall's (sp?) newspaper cartoonist character becoming obsessed with finding the killer's true identity. Same sort of film making style as Assissination of Richard Nixon I thought. Which is good. Definately worth a watch.The Bad...Next. I don't know what it is with Nicholas Cage doing all these shite movies as he can be a great actor, but he just keeps churning them out. He needs to act his age and stop taking 20 something roles, but anyway, this movie is truly awful - avoid at all costs. Not even as enjoyable as most "so bad it's good" B movies. Crap effects, ludicrous plot and more cheese than a Gorgonzola convention.The Ugly....ME!!! And Eric Roberts in Best of the Best... Was really into all martial arts movies as a kid but rewatching them makes me cringe sometimes. Just caught 10 minutes of this original U....S....A patriotic-as-hell series the other day and it was really funny. Eric Roberts is in some important martial arts bout, walks up to his opponent, snarls something like "I'm gonna rip your head off" and then gets his arse kicked. FUNNNYYYY!I love all the gangster/crime movies and thought Donnie Brasco was ace. And Taxi Driver. and Scarface etc. etc. Would recommend Blow as another good one. All Tarantino films. Godfathers. The Big Sleep. White Heat. Once Upon a Time in America. Chinatown etc. etc. etc. My all time favourite is probably Mean Streets.Still haven't seen Condemned or Grindhouse yet, are they out on DVD?Really enjoyed Transformers until I got bored with the end battle, too monotonous! Not the epic groundbreaking film I was expecting but an enjoyable romp (I have never used that word before in my life!) nevertheless.
