The Tower of London
The first structure on the site was a motte-and-bailey castle, which was started not long after William the Conqueror became king in 1066, the castle was built on the old Roman walls, which once formed the corner of Londinium. The first stone building on the site was the White Tower, which was commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1078 and completed in 1097. Read More »


Just watched first half hour of Rightous Kill, and I've abandoned it, left my husband watching it, it's sooooo boring and a bit hard to follow, Deniro & Pacino just don't suit the part, (too old) great actors but not for this movie..... anyone else watched it and did you enjoy it better than me?
I think apart from Shrek being on the telly at someone's flat at the weekend, the last film I sat down and watched was probably Alien.
I can't even rate that film- there's no rating scale that can do it justice! It's Alien, fer cryin' out loud!
"I admire it's purity... a survivor. Unclouded by conscience, remorse or delusions of morality. One last thing... I can't lie about your chances but... you have my sympathy". Rawk!
American Werewolf in London. Just saw it again and I love the Slaughtered Lamb. The accents, decore, flat caps.....all makes me homesick.
I remember walking into a strange pub in Maryport once. The windows must have been boarded up as it was pitch dark inside. You could make of out the faint glow of cigarette tips and smoke form around the room so you knew you weren't alone. The faint light behind the bar cast the barman/maid (?) in shadow and the west cumbrian dialect was unintelligable. Nice friendly place though and I didn't get attacked by a werewolf so it all ended well....Howowowoellll.
Godzilla (Gojira) in the orginal Japanese version. The only problem with it was the subtitles were hard to read in spots. Worth watching in my opinion.
Friend of mine saw Valkyrie and liked it. I mean, predicable ending and all, but I think it's a good wartime romp with some interesting gritty bits.
Slumdog millionaire is also very much worth seeing, although you could argue that the main character is somewhat weak. Not sure if that's a bad thing or quite what. Anyway, it's something i might consider picking up on DVD.
Other than that ... lots and lots of obscure asian cinema- not sure if anyone else would be interested in that :/

I don't see why not. I love films like the Seven Samurai, Battle Royale and even some of the anime releases.
Sure! Seen a few good Asian movies:D
Still maintain that Princess Mononoke is one of the most beautiful films ever produced. Even if you despise anime and all it's worth, give it a look-in!
Gran Torino by and starring Clint Eastwood.
The older he gets the better he is, an absolutely wonderful film.
"Louhi spoke in riddled tones of three things to achieve: find and catch the Devil's Moose and bring it here to me. Seize the Stallion born of Fire, harness the Golden Horse. He captured and bound the Moose, he tamed the Golden Horse. Still there remained one final task: hunt for the Bird from the Stream of Death"
-Kalevala, Rune XIII-
Great movie, fantastic acting by Mickey Rourke, he obviously had a lot of empathy for his character.
Only down side of the movie for me was spending most of it shaking my head and wondering why (In real life) such a handsome bloke succumbed to all the Hollywood bullshit and went down the cosmetic surgery route, very sad.
