Watched yesterday

Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull - somewhat disappointing revival of the Indiana Jones movies. It's been done to death in the media, so I won't go over the plot again. It's not really a bad film, it's just a very average, inconsequential one. There are some silly moments more suited to a kid's film and these sadly outnumber the moments of true inspiration, such as when Indy finds himself on his own in a deserted town a minute away from a nuclear test blast. Harrison Ford is good vale as ever, as is Cate Blanchett's Soviet agent, her dodgy accent more than made up for by the fact she looks hot with his black leather boots and severe haircut! Shia LaBeouf adds nothing but initial exposition, Karen Allen looks like someone who hasn't done any real acting in years and John Hurt says very little beyond the odd cryptic remark. Ray Winstone's fine though. There's a nice touch at the end that hints at another outing, but please G-d, keep George Lucas away from the screenplay - 3/5

Have I Got A Bit More News For You: 17th May - Kirsty Young, as attractive as ever and able to hold her own among the boys. A class act - 4/5

Britain's Got Talent: 24th May - a lacklustre set of final acts, with the exception of the five street dancers. Would be good to see them get through to the semis (which start tonight), but they're perhaps too similar to the bigger group of similar dancers a week or two ago. Looking forward to Star Wars guy! - 3/5

Warship - a rarity for me, watching a documentary series on Five, but this was pretty good. It's a fly-on-the-wall look at HMS Illustrious, flagship of the Royal Navy. Reminded me of ITV's short-lived nautical drama Making Waves, that they unceremoniously pulled from the schedules after a few episodes never to be seen again. Some of those Navy girls are pretty cute... - 4/5
