The Lives of Others - Review

Have just seen the best film on DVD for ages, The Lives of Others, its a story about how East Germany controlled its population through fear and creating mistrust between people. This film shows why the Gipper was right when it came to Communism it was EVIL. The Communist system had to be not just removed it had to be destroyed. If any one stands up for the Communist States of the period show them this film. Reagan and Kennedy had it right, " Tear down this Wall, Mr Gorbachev, ", " We are all Berliners " When the issue is between good and evil between Democracy and dictatorship, the Cold War and the Berlin Wall showed that there was good and there was evil, Western Democracy against Communism. The right side won.

Secret Diary of a Call Girl - Review

Well to be honest I was not not sure what to expect with this new series. I am fan of Billie Piper, she was the heart of Dr Who, so viewed this with some concern. I loved it, it was funny, dramatic, and if David Tennant can do Casanova then our Billie can do something like this after Dr Who, hope she comes back sometime to the Tardis. The camera loves Billie Piper, we might lose her to Hollywood one of these days. Next year will vote for Billie Piper for best actress in the NTA awardes based on this show.

New York Times: A interesting article by Frank Rich, how the Beltway wisdom might not be right about 2008 Presidential race. A good article worth a read.

New York Times: As you would expect from the NYT, very critical of the US Supreme Court because it has turned right, when it was on the left the paper was happy.
