It's not often i watch a funny movie and laugh out loud when i'm watching by myself. One just finished on the Movie Network, Flushed Away, that really had me giggling, *and* it's animated. It's a collaboration between Dreamworks and Aardman Studios (Wallace and Grommit, Creature Comforts fame). It's not claymation but it almost looks like it sometimes and the humour is definitely Aardman style. If you watch it... keep an eye on the slugs, they'll crack you up!

Really warm and muggy day today. Probably not too many of them left in the season. September usually has nice warm weather but very little humidity.

I took possession of the last of the dvds i ordered last month, the Ray Winstone tv series Henry VIII. Historically, a load of bollocks mostly. Helena Bonham Carter could have been a far better Anne if the character had been more scheming and ambitious but the focus really was on Winstone's performance. Lots of shouting and temper tantrums which is what Henry was famous for. I think he at least got that bit down right. Looked the part too. The best series still seems to be the one filmed for BBC in the 1970s with Keith Mitchell as Henry. He was great and the series was a bit more in depth, they could focus a whole hour on each wife so you got a bit more detail and it was fairly accurate. I'd like to get the Elizabeth R series too, with Glenda Jackson. She was an awesome Elizabeth.
