Brothers

This is a sad movie about a guy who goes off to war and ends up doing something that changes him forever.

His brother and him are total opposites that find each other in a time of struggle.

This movie is very sad, yet probably such a real situation, for those that get caught in the midst of terrorism and war. Definitely not for the faint hearted.

The Hurt Locker

Motherless!

Hurt Locker is one insane movie. It starts off with some action and it has some really heart wrenching scenes too.

This movie get’s you thinking and makes you wonder how many people are used in terror attacks against their wills.

If you are not into gore or if you are sensitive in anyway, then don’t watch this. If you’re a war movie type of person and can handle movies like 5 Fingers then this is for you.

Look after your teeth

Amelia and I were feeling like having something to eat so I prepared us some two minute noodles, tuna and sweetcorn.

While eating this seemingly soft food, I felt something hard in my mouth. After investigating I found out that almost half of one of teeth fell out or broke off. Fortunately for me I had already had a root canal done on the tooth, so I was not in pain, although my mouth was now seriously uncomfortable and I was pretty much upset about the matter.

I will need to get the tooth repaired soon, so that I don’t lose it altogether.

District 9

It’s been quite some time since District 9 was released, and I’ve heard some funny things about it so I thought it was about time to find our for myself.

I brought District 9 home to watch and Amelia and I didn’t know what hit us. Now, I would not say it was movie of the year material, but it was crap funny. The production team managed to find so many ways to rip off other movies and others countries when producing this film it is simply incredible.

I would recommend that you watch with subtitles, just to make sure you don’t miss anything due to the pronunciation. The main character is brilliant and did a great job and keeping the tone of the movie serious and insanely funny at the same.

We’ll be watching this again some time, if you haven’t watched it yet you are missing out.

Steers staff are asleep

Amelia and I decided, as we so often do, that we wanted to eat something after work.

For a change we chose to try out Steers for their Wacky Wednesday promotion…

The burgers are not particularly small and don’t taste crap, but they’re definitely not served hot, which is quite a disappointment. By the time you get to the last bite the burger is damn cold and it’s not as if I eat slowly.

When we got up to leave a guy walked in and took our seat, before we had even officially left the table. Okay, guess that’s not so strange, and typical to a place that doesn’t cue their guests or seat them, but what happened next was a bit unsettling.

As Amelia and I get to the Scooter, where we had parked in front of Steers, the guy picks up our serviettes and looked underneath them. The thought of someone looking at our plates where we just had food, obviously looking for something to eat is heart wrenching, but what happens next is simply gross. The guy takes the lid off one of the bottles of Steer sauce still on the table and takes a swig, not one but a few, out of more than one bottle.

It’s sad to see that someone is hungry and needs to resort to that, but from a business and health perspective Steers should be looking out for it’s brand and it’s customers and simply paying attention to their front door.

Unsettled, I walk back into Steers and alert them to the situation, and the man was asked to leave.

Needless to say, Amelia and I didn’t feel as well as we did when we arrived.
