Here I am at the edge

Relic Hunter. Before Tomb Raider there was a little-known series called Relic Hunter . The difference is in Relic Hunter, Prof. Sydney Fox ( Tia Carrere ) hunted for relics to return them to their owners, or to a museum, like Indiana Jones .  Recently, I had to think hard for the name of the actress who played Lara Croft, yet I could name the actress who played Prof. Fox without thinking.

To run a country you need money. As long as Labour go on about putting money before health, it shows how inept they are, and how out of touch with reality. Sure, we'd all love to put health before wealth, but we don't get paid the same salaries as footballers, film stars and TV icons, so who is going to pay the bills for services to keep running. In short Boris can't win , all I say is thank the Lord that Labour don't run the country, they can't even run their party.

Did my short story bring this sale about? I wonder if last night's sale of Akuji was influenced by the book being mentioned in my short story about Rhodesia . It was certainly a Mayday to remember here in Bristol, the rain lashed down for most of the day, and the sales at my eBay page kept flowing.

I am no expert in film history. Film critics will tell you they think Carmen Maura 's best work was done with Pedro Almodovar . I am not a student of films, and have no qualifications to back my thoughts up, for me she did her best away him Pedro.  I think it is probably because I am not a fan of Pedro's obsession with young women and his humor does nothing for me. The film at the top was directed by Carlos Saura , and is a beautifully put together story of patriotism and art. I came to the conclusion I don't enjoy  Pedro Almodovar's films because most of them are about neurotic ladies and the last thing they can classed as is comedy. Another producer I enjoy working with Carmen Maura is Alex de la Iglesia . 800 Bullets La Comunidad La Comunidad is a laugh a minute comedy about a search for money in block of flats in Madrid , and the extent Ms. Maura goes to hiding the fact she has the money from the other tenants.

Indian movies T his month, I made an error of judgement in buying some DVDs from eBay . I cannot blame the sellers as the error was mine - I should have checked before buying the discs that they had  subtitles , but I was so excited to get some of the films for my  Bollywood  selection I forgot to check. Que Sera, it's not the end, I can always add the subs after downloading  them.   I came across something interesting, I am watching a movie from the late 60s, but with modern city names.

Non Uccidere. I am watching Non Uccidere , an engrossing thriller from Italy on Walter Presents . The story on WP follows on from the end of series 1 very well; two episodes into the second series the mother is written out, the actress playing the mother,  Monica Guerritore , didn't like the way her part was being portrayed. This is where it gets confusing, the version I am watching on streaming TV still has her in and this is up to episode 5; the story does make sense if you have followed the series, as it would appear in the streaming version that the daughter is living her life in retrospect to give her life now some meaning. In the Walter version she is trying to move on, both stories make sense, but neither of the channels show the same episodes that is what is so confusing. I am even more confused now. Last night I finished series 2, and was totally mystified; the reason is the last episode of the season is the same as the finale' to season 1. I can only thin...

Cassandra Clare. Cassandra Clare 's best selling series of books - The Mortal Instruments - was set to have a second film out this month, however, that plan has been put on the back burner; the film of her previous book in the series came out several years ago and has not broken even.
