I should list my films, seeing as I watch lots whilst breastfeeding. I liked Take Shelter.

I liked Take Shelter too, Michael Shannon was very good at barely holding things together under a brave face.

Thanks for the World Book Night book, just read and enjoyed it. I sometimes wish I'd got into Judge Dredd when I was younger but it really wasn't to my taste back then. I gave the second copy to a colleague who was very pleased to get it.

Michael Shannon looks quite mental as Zod in the Man of Steel trailer. I am failing to give away free books - let me know if anyone wants one.

What did you think of The Secret in Their Eyes? I really liked it.

[bugshaw.livejournal.com]

It came recommended so I downloaded it for iPlayer. Very good, there is so much in the eyes. I suspected that the husband was capable of bad things, but did not expect the ending, which was almightily harsh and had me reassessing everyone in terms of whether they were a sympathetic character. It's complicated.

Did you read any novellas? ;-)

[bugshaw.livejournal.com]

I have added that category! You're placed well for my "novella of the year".

Woo hoo!

Does that come with a certificate?
