FOUR LIONS / PRINCE OF PERSIA




Four Lions : Set in Sheffield this is the comical story of four British jihadists who push their dreams of glory to breaking point. One of them is training crows to fly bombs through windows.
Well worth seeing. Rated 8/10
Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time : A film based on the video game which follows an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world. Very watchable, plenty of action Rated 6.5/10

FISH TANK

After several weeks of preparing the tank we finally got some fish last Monday. Ten "mollies" to start off with - four black, three dalmation and three white. They are very active pulling out plants and eating leaves and always seem to be hungry. More fish should follow shortly.

ROBIN HOOD


Nanna and Grandad went yesterday to the advance screening of the Russell Crowe / Ridley Scott new solid action movie about an archer in the army of Richard the Lionheart who fights against the Norman invaders and becomes the legendary hero known as "Robin Hood". The dialogue is a bit ropey at times and we don't see much of the merry men but a bit of history with action between England and France makes this a watchable film if not a classic. Rated 7/10

HIP BURSITIS

Grandad has been troubled with sciatica since February but has recently suffered with a slightly different pain in the hip and left leg. The doctor has diagnosed this as bursitis (inflammation of a bit in the hip) and gave him a steroid injection last Friday.
