As If I Am Not There
2010
A harsh dose of cinematic realism about the Bosnian War of the 1990s - Juanita Wilson's drama is taken from true stories revealed during the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague.

EDIT:
This was quite harrowing in parts and certainly not for the feint hearted, but a superb film none the less.

Battlestar Galactica
(TV Series 2004-2009)
I watched the first pilot episode last night on Netflix as I seem to remember Martin (T) saying he highly rated it. I never realised and this has been off my radar completely, with visions of Buck Rogers and Lorne Green in my mind, but do you know what . . . its darned good drama.
There are 76 episodes to watch too in glorious 1080 HD, so I guess I'm going to be busy!
Cheers Martin

T'is not often one can say a remake betters the original but in this case it is absolutely the case. I've watched every episode and BG is now firmly ensconced at the head of my top ten list of all time favourite sci-fi series, bloody marvellous it is...Battlestar Galactica

I liked the original version. I don't think comparisons are valid as the new version is only similar in that it nicks the title, the basic set up and a few character names. Starbuck as a chick? I never really got a handle on that. I still watch the old one on cable when it turns up. Galctica 80 sucked badly though.

Bang on Martin - this is nothing like the original. I liked BG in its day, but for me that time has long gone, as have of lot of things from older era's - great at the time, but a little tired now.
I'm really enjoying this though and I even find myself fancying a blonde (Number Six), which is totally out of character for me

Mmm, I know what you mean, although the Lena Headey / Sarah Connor look is much more my thing.I'm really enjoying this though and I even find myself fancying a blonde (Number Six), which is totally out of character for me
