Trooping The Colour 2008 - First Battalion Welsh Guards

Advantages: Gritty and moving.
Disadvantages: Slow.

...Kokoda: 39th Battalion When I saw this reviewed by Tayloa22, who writes excellent film reviews I thought I would give it a go, especially as my wife was out for a meal with her mates and I fancied a war film (that doesn't happen often). The film is 92 minutes long (though it seesm a lot longer) and is rated 15. The director is a guy called Alister Grierson and it is by all accounts his first full length feature, it is clearly Australian made, for an Australian audience. I am not going to give you a cast list as no one in it is anyone any of you will have heard of, and are unlikely to see in any big budget films. ~~~The Plot~~~ The plot is based on true events. A reserve battalion of Australian troops, nicknamed the 'chocco's' (as it was thought they would melt in war) are sent to guard a supply trail in Paupua New Guinea... Read review

Advantages: i did ok
Disadvantages: some stresses and strains

...a lovely kind man and he died right near Christmas after being ill for a while. Unfortunately having always believed him to be father Christmas that was the affectionate term that a friend and I still used to talk about him. I choose the seriously bad timing of saying to her "oh did you hear that father Christmas died" whilst out shopping - unfortunately we were walking by santas grotto and a whole line of children heard my comment and looked rather devastated. Ooops. 4) What countries did you visit? Unfortunately none! It was the first year that I haven't been abroad due to university commitments and lack of money! The only time that I managed to get away from home was a four day weekend break to Cornwall which was lovely. 5) What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008? To be a weight that I a comfortable with. Over... Read review
