Lazy Monday

I spent the entire day doing nothing, nadda, bugga all, woke up a bit earlier then I wanted to this morning thanks to some drilling outside, then pretty much have done nothing but watch DVDs for the rest of the day.

Firstly watched the first three episodes of The Fast Show Series One, which is brilliantly funny (and I will fight you if you say otherwise). My favourite sketches are the Suit You Sir shop assistants, Arthur Atkinson and the news show. Probably watch the rest of it tonight (3 more to go). Streets of Fire (or Streets of Rage as keep calling it by accident, a game I many hours of playing it on my Megadrive in my childhood), is a Walter Hill movie I'd never seen before and I have to say I was pretty darn impressed, Michael Pare might be a tad bland but Rick Moranis and the spunky Amy Madigan more then make up for that, some good action set pieces, my second Walter Hill movie in as many days aswell there. Terror Trax, I had little hope for to be honest, I brought it cause I was a fan of John Ritter but the film was better then I thought it would be, the segment with Bryan Cranston (Al from Malcolm in the Middle) and Buff Bagwell and a deranged monkey is probably the best of the segments but the Granny Killer one is odd fun aswell. Great, great ending to the entire film aswell, can't believe I am actually recommending this film to be anybody but I am. The Way of the Gun rounded off a suprisingly impressive day of DVD watching so far, directed and written by Christopher McQuarrie (who wrote Usual Suspects) which impressed me enough, strong performances (Benicio Del Toro, James Caan, Juliette Lewis) and cool action also wins points for featuring Sarah Silverman as an obnixious woman who's henpecked her boyfriend and ends up getting punched in the face, again recommended as is everything I've watched today.

Might watch 1 or 2 more DVDs tonight, maybe some TV Series on DVD (Fast Show, ER, MASH or something else) and might write about them later depending on my mood.
