"You know how to whistle don't you Harry? You just put your lips together - and blow."
Probably my favourite Bogart film - but they are all good.

'Clarkson's Farm'
Some youth at work told me how to get Prime on my telly and it didn't seem too complicated so I tried it and it actually worked.
The king of TV presenters tries running his own farm with predictably hilarious results.
Probably the only thing worth watching on Prime aside from the odd Liverpool match, and given their recent form I'm having my doubts about that too.
The characters surrounding him make it worth watching - his accountant (the voice of doom), Caleb, who's never been more than a few miles from home, knows nowt about the outside world and is all the better for it, and his dad, who seems to have his own language :)Quote:

A great pairing this... plus Chris Lee and Genevieve Page too...
The 'head of security' bloke? Didn't realise he is Caleb's dad.Quote:

Even first class passengers on the Orient Express - at the time of the publication of the novel - did not have private bathrooms. The passengers shared toilets and did without showers or baths.
"The Simplon" (as in the Simplon Orient Express) is in reference to the twelve-mile Simplon Tunnel linking Switzerland and Italy, which removed a half day's travel time between Paris and Istanbul by way of Venice.

'The Martian' (2015)
Got tired of people asking me if I'd seen this so I got round to giving it a go.
Matt Damon is an astronaut who gets left behind on Mars when his colleagues think he has been killed in a storm.
Another disappointing modern film. You never get properly involved in it, since a few upsets aside you sort of know he is going to be okay and somehow get home. About the closest film I can think of is 'Apollo 13', which unlike this, is a true story. And unlike this has much better characterisation and tension - even though you know the outcome already.
There seems to have been something lost in script-writing ability in the intervening 30 years.
Oh and even though the film is set in 2035, which isn't that far away, the NASA HQ is all shiny and ultra-modern, like it's the 25th century or something, and that doesn't ring true either.
Would have been a better film if they had to scrabble round with scanty resources in order to rescue him, instead they just send the big shiny spaceship back again. Yes, spoilers, but if you've not seen it already then really isn't worth bothering to watch it.
