Monday update

Today has been great, didn't get up til mid-morning. Shame I have to go back tomorrow but gotta pay the rent somehow.

Thought I'd add this entry today for Julie, she wanted me to post a rating for the Tom Hanks film 'The Terminal' that I watched last night ( might wanna pop over to her blog & say hi : http://journals.aol.co.uk/joobynice/doing-it-alone-hopefully-not-for/ ).

So The Terminal - for those that don't know this film is about a man ( Tom Hanks ) who arrives in america only to find while he has been flying to the US war has broken out in his country. The US don't recognise the administration in his country so cannot allow him to enter the US - unfortunately as the war in his homeland is the result of a coup his passport & other travel documents are no longer valid - so he can't even go home. To be honest if I was Tom Hanks I'd stay away from planes in future, first he gets stranded on a desert island in Castaway & now he gets stuck in an airport for 9 months!!

The film follows his life in the terminal ( hence the title obviously ) from his discovering how to make money, meeting a beautiful air hostess (  Catherine Zeta Jones ) & making friends with the terminal staff. Everyday he turns up at the immigration desk & every day he gets denied entry to the US.

I have to be honest & say that I wasn't sure wether this was going to be any good, I mean how could can a film be when its about living in the airport? But I am glad to say that I enjoyed the film a lot. Its just the sort of film you need for a chilled out sunday evening. Predictable? Yes to  a certain point but who cares, this is one of those feel good films that blokes pretend they don't watch but secretly enjoy.

Anyway thats all i've got time for tonight, off to have a shower/shave & then watch Hells Kitchen USA at 9. Take care peoples & sleep well.... Vamp x
