  • my new harvest of books contains 4 Richard Stark Parker novels [two of which are hardcover] 2 Lawrence Block Matthew Scudder novels & 1 Keller novel, 4 Frederick Forsyth novels in hardcover & November man by Bill Granger.
  • Parker with Jason Statham as Richard Starks noir anti-hero, and to be honest it is actually quite a decent movie. I would not mind seeing him return for another outing in this part. Considering that the book series is 25 books long there can be enou…
  • Bluray: Parker Die Hard 5 Alien anthology

  • the BBC series New Tricks with a gorgeous Amanda Redman. The new series has that lass from Eastenders in it.
  • It deserves this horrible rating but I cannot tear myself away from this scifi movie, the acting is horrendous en the effects are fairly good. I love how they made a Sarah Palinesque figure president of the US. I have seen worse movies.
  • Iron Sky - AKA Nazis on the dark side of the moon, a totaly nuts movie that I kept watching in a growing sense of disbelieve. It is not Blues Brothers 2/ Species 2 bad as it was more bonkers than anything I have seen before.
  • Arnold Schwarzenegger evening: The last stand: an old fashioned actioner that suits Arnolds style very well., great little actionmovie. Eraser - I have seen this movie plenty of times due to Vanessa Williams participation and as an actionmovie…
  • So Box-office wise the movie was apparently Pitch-slapped. [made me laugh anyhow]
  • I quite enjoy his visions as caught by him for the cinematic experience. He is an original.

  • I remember LTK as being the first movie I had ever seen people leave the theater, including one of then my best mates. They did not like Dalton and the movie.

  • The ghostwriter - Brosnan does a brilliant job and it is a pretty good thriller too.
  • The house of flying daggers by Zhang Yimou, beautiful shot movie.

  • A few years ago a leftish newspaper together with some university [I forgot which one} did their calculations on the Dutch Royal family and their costs and it turned out that their representation for the Netherlands actually showed a healthy profit …
  • The Hobbit: the battle of the five armies - A fitting end to this trilogy that was a bit overlong but does fit with its sequel "Lord of the Rings". Amazing how Jackson created such a film out of the last few chapters of this book. And if you did not…
  • I have no problems with a monarchy when the problem is the political landscape, it is like in the US a smokescreen to complain about. The modern European monarchy fulfills another role than it did 50 years ago while politicians have become the playt…
  • As for democracy it is as grand as people want it to be, like in the US it becoming a plaything for the ultra-rich and companies. SO what objection should there be about a monarchy when compared to being taken over by a few who do restructure the de…
  • The Avengers: Age of Ultron - pretty impressive on the big screen.

  • I consider that Charlotte Church quite a dish and a talented performer with a wicked sense of humour. Which would classify her better than any politician in my humble view.
  • I think if the UK votes to leave the EU it will find out very quickly how dependent they have come on the EU, and feel the hurt economically pretty fast. I would expect to see the banking sector leaving the UK after leaving the EU. As for the mon…

  • Fault in our Stars - liked the book and the movie is pretty good too. Having two female teenagers around the house makes you watch stuff you would never otherwise. [considering they like Star Wars/Star Trek/ Marvel /DC /scifi/ 007 I cannot complain …
  • Bluray: The Hobbit trilogy Lincoln Kingdom of Heaven [directors cut] Black Swan Jesus Christ Superstar
  • Zealots are always sure they are right, and the others are not.
