Watched recently

The Late Show: Jack Black - 3/5
Jack Black's irritating. It works in his films, but doesn't work in 'real life'. Most of the entertainment came from Dave having a go at Scott McLellan for not turning up for his interview.

St Trinian's - 2/5
A girl from a posh school finds herself enrolled against her will (but for no apparent reason) at her aunt's rundown, anarchic school for girls, St Trinian's. A government minister (Colin Firth) attempts to close the school down. A comedy that will be of little interest to anyone other than girls who went to private school or men who want to perv over young actresses in schoolgirl outfits, such as head girl Kelly, played by new Bond girl Gemma Arterton. Not that I'm interested in doing such things.


Big Brother: Day 17 - 4/5
"We met on eBay. I bought a crystal ball off him."

City Of Men: The Post - 3/5

Heroes: Cautionary Tales - 4/5
Finally, Hiro is back and the show in general is back on form. Looks like Claire-Bear takes a dark turn next season...


More pics at Gossip Girls.

Boston Legal: The Gods Must Be Crazy - 4/5

Jericho: Termination For Cause - 4/5

Mega Carrier: USS George H W Bush - 3/5
These American documentaries are edited like music videos. I don't think there was a single shot that lasted more than a few seconds. Would have been a far better programme if the people behind the BBC's The Tower had done it, or even those who made Warship for Five.

Big Brother: Days 18 and 19 - 4/5
Surely Sylvia has to go this week? Nothing but an immature shit-stirrer.

City Of Men: Uoluce And Joao Vitor - 3/5

Battlestar Galactica - 5/5
Now there's a cliffhanger. Not one that leaves you gobsmacked by what you're seeing, but one that asks 'what the fuck do they do now?'. Great to see Lucy Lawless' D'Anna back. The threes are seriously hot, far more so than the Sixes. The Sixes have the looks, for sure, but I've always had a thing for women who could kick my ass and the Threes are the girls for that...


Summer Heights High: Episode 2

Nip/Tuck: Candy Richards - 4/5
Renewed for two more seasons. Who would have thought it possible given some of this season's excesses? It certainly has a new lease of life though.

Jews: The Prisoner - 3/5

Wife Swap: 19th June - 3/5
I used to love Wife Swap, but I seem to be losing patience with it lately. I think it's because I'm finding it hard to connect with any of the people they choose. Like with a good film, it helps to have someone to root for, but everyone on Wife Swap these days seems to be vile.

Secret Diary Of A Call Girl: Episode 1.6 - 4/5

House: Living The Dream - 4/5
Anne Dudek's Amber Volakis / Cutthroat Bitch is every inch my ex. This isn't actually a bad thing.
