Film roundup 3

Once again I've left it far too long, so this roundup is going to be of the did/did not like form, with very little useful information. Sorry about that. Ok, here we go: Ella Enchanted This is a film for kids, and girls at that. I really have no idea why I even thought about watching it. Anyway, the stop button was applied within 5 minutes. Leon Masterful. I absolutely loved this film. Well written, acted and directed. Elling The story of a couple of Norwegian guys who meet when living in a state institution. When they are released into the outside world they choose to life together and have to find their feet. A very worthwhile watch. Team America World Police Absolutely brilliant. It is, in parts, hilarious but obviously the main deal with this film is how it represents American foreign policy and attitudes. It is done so well it makes you cringe. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Sadly I can't remember the details but I remember enjoying it a great deal. Slightly bizzare

Beware amateur scientists

Just read this article ; a most entertaining read, unless you happened to live in this kid's neighbourhood. It outlines levels of ingenuity that amaze as well as endanger. One thing's for sure, there was never a proficiency badge in Atomic Energy when I was in the scouts.
