The film did a very good job in bringing the book to life and didn`t shy away from any of the brutality and degradation of the Long Walk. the ending is slightly different, more dramatic, but doesn`t detract from the ending in the book at all ( if that makes sense )

Going at the weekend. Please tell me it`s better than 28 yrs Later, which I thought was dreadful ?

I`m still intrigued, as to why a Finnish ex Special Forces Commando is knocking around with a Bedlington Terrier :ROFLMAO:

John Wick 2 is the best one (imo ) Takes all the madness of the first one and expands on it, plus he gets a new dog :ROFLMAO: Another one with a mega body count, that`s a surprisingly good film, if you haven`t seen it, is The Raid. It`s Indonesian, but don`t let that put you off, as it`s...

The Long Walk - Stephen King. I bought this book on the strength of the film and without realising that it was King`s first ever novel, written well over forty years ago. There`s a real anger to his writing in this book and it`s much less polished than his later stuff, which I thought really...

Watched - Siso 2 : Road to Revenge. I thought the first one was brilliant, total chaos and carnage, with a body count that would put John Wick to shame. Incredibly low budget, but very well put together too. They`ve obviously spent a lot more money on the second one, but as a result it seems...

For the life of me, I can`t think of any reason other than family or business, why anyone would want to go to America right now tbh.

If anyone is a fan of the excellent Mystery Road films, set in the Outback, with the Aboriginal detective Jay Swan wading through corruption, racism and crime, the tv series : Mystery Road Origins, started on BBC 2 last night ( 12 episodes ) It`s a prequel, so you don`t have to have seen the...

That was the one mistake my mate made, the heat of the sand. He completely overlooked it and on the first day he lost the soles of his trainers, as they melted :ROFLMAO: Fortunately he was able to get another pair from the support crew, as it`s really common !

Which is why the lad I knew trained in the Sauna !

Starts tomorrow. You`ve got to be a certain type of person to do that race. I knew a lad that tried and failed to do the full length Summer one, ending up hosy with serious heat stroke.

I know a fella who`s into doing all these crazy ultra marathons, like the Winter Spine in the UK, which starts tomorrow. He did the Marathon des Sables last year and he used to go on a treadmill in a sauna as part of his training plan ( seriously ! ) He`d put tons of ice chips into the water...

Anyone else been out in the snow and ice this week ? Yesterday was great fun in the snow, stuck a pair of fell shoes on, wrapped up well and did a couple of hours, very slow, as the snow meant you had to work really hard. Today was a bit yukky, with all the slush and black ice after the rain...

I`m just about to finish series 3. If it wasn`t for Brendan Glesson, I`d have probably ditched it after series one. Some of the actors are proper daytime tv actors :ROFLMAO:

Elliot`s loan from Liverpool has a clause to buy, that kicks in after 10 appearances, hence why Villa aren`t playing him anymore !

If he`s not getting what he wants, he`s pure poison in the team. You have to look at how many games he`s played for Marseille after he left Everton and has since been virtually frozen out of the team. It`s not that he`s a bad player, as he`s not, it`s just that due to the fact that he`s small...

Subbura : Blood on Rome - Netflix (y) ( often overlooked in favour of Gomorrah, but a whisker away from being as good )

I`d watch Animal Kingdom first, it`s brilliant and hooks you in straight away. ( the cast is prefect too ). Godfather of Harlem, is good, but gets a bit " samey " as it goes along. Never took to Tulsa King and haven`t watched Snowfall.

Just started on Mr Mercedes too. I`ve read the book, which is very dark and this just feels like a made for tv drama, despite the acting talents of Brendan Gleeson in the lead. I`m not sure I`ll be bothering with series 2/3 tbh.

What really annoyed me, was that Carol was supposed to be this feisty, strong and independent woman, who was totally resistant to the " others ", then all of sudden she gets a bit randy, abandons all of her principles and morals and jumps straight into bed with Zosia ! ( I appreciate she was...
