Watched Cloud Atlas based on your recommendation Aidan. Absolutely LOVED it...fantastic and moving, and for me too it seemed to end too soon. I certainly plan to watch it a couple more times too.
Saw The Bourne Legacy last night, ok and entertaining movie, felt forced compared to the Matt Damon movies.
The War (an American perspective on WW2 by Ken Burns - it's 6 discs!)
There's also a really good documentary that can be found on youtube called Apocalypse which presents a more European viewpoint - it's split into six episodes. I really enjoyed this one.
I watched Apocalypse a couple of years ago now, when it was on one of the satellite channels over here. I recorded all six and watched them back to back one Sunday. Very good documentary indeed from what I recall. I wouldnt mind watching it again on YouTube over the course of a few nights soon if it's available. Thanks for the tip.
