    Bad Santa is on Thursday on TV3

    A film I've recommended at least twice before is on again: The Ice Storm (Ch4, 01:40 on Thursday morning). Still highly recommended, if you haven't seen it before. They seem to show it about once a year, but it's well worth recording if you can. There is more than one kind of cold ... :cool:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Hmm, never seen that. I'll keep an eye out for it.

    The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising is on E4 at 19.00. I've never seen this but if it's anything like the Series then it should be good.

    Monsters vs Aliens is on RTE1, 18:55. I watched this yesterday, it has a lot of fun with genre conventions. Susan / Ginormica has to be the prettiest movie monster since the last 50-Foot Woman. ;)

    RTE2, 23:30: Downfall, about Hitler's last days in the Fuhrerbunker. More of a psychological study than a war film. This is the source of all those "Hitler hears about ... " videos on YouTube.

    Later, there's a late rush of classic films on various channels. Do they do this on purpose?
    - The Godfather, Ch4, 01:00
    - Cat People (1942), BBC2, 01:10
    - Bullitt, RTE1, 01:50
    - Vertigo, UTV, 02:05
    - Bonnie & Clyde, RTE2, 02:20

    Then at 8AM on Tuesday, RTE1 is showing Doctor Zhivago. If you want a huge 3hr epic big screen Technicolor film to sweep you away, this is right up your street.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    There have been some good RKO classic chiller films on BBC 2 late at night all this week from the 40s. The Leopard Man is on tonight and there is another film on tomorrow night. Its worth taping and watching these "B" movies as they are only an hour long Cat People was very good and I walked witha Zombie wasnt bad. They arent as good as the Frankensteins and Draculas but they pass the time.

    Their's no sound in space did ye know that? Their's sound in this though as it looked pretty sh*t without it, on the scenes showing the ship passing through space that is.
