Well, it’s a typical Bank Holiday Monday, so it's raining, cold and grey. No matter, as we had no plans to go anywhere today, just into town to mooch about the shops, and buy a cast-iron skillet and muffin tin. Oh the height of frivolity.
Last week, we got to see the following DVDs:
All three were very entertaining. I can see why Forest Whitaker won the Oscar for playing Idi Amin in "Last..". A gripping performance, about an extreme individual. The production was nicely done on what looked like a big tv budget.
The last "Rocky" film was great to watch as well. I thought Stallone completed the story well and sent the character off on a high. I will search out the Rocky 1-6 DVD box set now!
Oh, the trailer for "John Rambo" is up and running on-t'internet. Looks action packed, and features some way over the top violence. Stallone once again is our hero in the jungle, destroying the enemy with his explosive arrows. 1980s all over again!
"Stormbreaker" was just a bit of fluff: 'James Bond - Junior' really. Still, the film was quite good fun to watch. I enjoyed laughing at Mickey Rourke's 'chewing- the-furniture' role as the baddie, and Bill Nighy (who seems to be in everything these days, including shows about meerkats) as the head of secret service operations. Ewan McGregor turned up for a day's shooting and car racing (he is only in the opening sequence) as well.
Oh, our pal Mandy came down over the weekend, and we were lucky enough to visit Warwick Castle on Saturday. What a brilliant day out this is, especially if the weather is nice like it was for most of the day. Glad we caught the jousting as well. Heck, it’s a bit "Hollywood" but there ya go.

I am glad you've had a nice weekend despite the weather but oh how typical it is of a Bank Holiday in the UK, lol. Warwick Castle is a great place to visit, glad the weather was good for you on Saturday. I am thinking of doing Warwick again sometime this year and also visiting Stratford.
