Re: What are you watching?

Just picked up "Wanted" on BluRay starring Angelina Jolie in the £10 section of my local supermarket.
Despite the plot being nonsense, it is truly sparkling high definition nonsense with a kickin' sountrack to boot.
Just when you think you're safe, the end credits roll and a rock track explodes from the loudspeakers to aurally assault what is left of your hearing.
This disc now joins Dark Knight and Dr.No as my reference software . . . .

Oooh, may have to try this out if PQ and soundtrack are that good.

Re: What are you watching?

It's that good, Daveh75.
Decent extras, as well as being Live Enabled, the film had me grinning from ear to ear.
I seem to remember it was favourably reviewed on this site somewhere.
. . . . and the sight of Mrs.Pitt in all her 1080p glory is another excuse, as if you needed any convincing!

Re: What are you watching?

Having recently slagged off 'celebrity' reality programmes, I did enjoy the BBC celebrity homelessness programme tonight and tomorrow on BBC1. Quite disturbing and frightening. The Marquis of Blandford, who cheated and then gave up without spending on night on the street came over as a self absorbed, disgusting individual. Hats off to the rest of them.

Who? Clearly as is always the case with so called "celebrity" show's,they're being very liberal with the use of the word.

He is related to Winston Churchill, used to make the news for drugs offences and as I said is a complete twit. Hardeep Singh Kohli did not mince his words criticising him. The others are a Corry actor, a journalist and Anabelle Croft. OK so the 'celebrities' are as such, but the hardships of the homeless is the real issue and this programme IMHO shows what life really is like for them.
