Just seen War of the Worlds at the local cinema (note to self: avoid screen 2). As you might expect I'm not about to say it's the best film ever, but I'd certainly rate it as worth watching. Always going to be quibbles about a 'blockbuster' movie, particularly one made from a good book, which has been filmed before. And in this case made into a radio series which I must endevour to see at some point. Anyway, I'm glad that I went to see it.

Hopefully going to see The Descent next week.

Huh, they're evacuating Birmingham city centre. Hopefully just a jumpy reaction to run of the mill bogus information. The London attacks turned out to have been pretty bad. Here's one story. Gah. Incidentally, ID cards would not have helped, but we should have them anyway, and get ready to have our civil liberties curtailed.

For some reason a guy has just jumped the Great Wall of China on a skateboard. People are crazy.

Update: On the craziness theme, Woman who framed child is jailed.
