In case anyone missed it... Finished – Wilfred (US) : Season 1
This was a very strange but refreshingly funny remake of the original series from Australia about a young man struggling with life who sees the neighbour's dog as a man in a cheap dog suit. The "dog", Wilfred, hands out advice on life to Ryan (played by Elijah "Frodo Baggins" Wood) with hilarious consequences. As I said, weird, but clever adult humour. Roll on Season 2 
5 Mobile Phones – Seriously?!
I don't normally make a habit of collecting mobile phones, and this is purely a one-off situation that is only going to last a couple of weeks. I now find myself with five, yes 5, mobile phones. The reason? The simply wonderful HP Pre 3. That is phone number 4. Oh, here's the list...
- Nokia 6600 Slide (just for the great autofocus camera)
- Palm Pre Plus (my current phone)
- HP/Palm Pre 2 (bought because everyone thought the Pre 3 would never be released)
- HP Pre 3 (oh, then HP changed their mind and now everyone wants one)
- Samsung Galaxy SII (which was free with an O2 contract upgrade)
So, now you see why I come to have 5 mobile phones... silly, but typical for a gadget geek like me.
Movie Seen – Resident Evil
This film was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I have never played the computer game it is based on, but the movie adaptation ticked along nicely. There are plenty of neat slow motion action sequences with some nice sets - overall: not bad at all! Do I want to see the next 3 films in the series? Actually, yes...
Score: 6/10 IMDb
Movie Seen – Saw VII
I have been a faithful Saw fan and was very interested to see how they would end a pretty neat series. The thing is, you have to look passed the gore and the wicked traps to get to the story. There are some nice ideas there, but this final chapter left me wanting more. It answered some questions, but it did not have the wow ending I was hoping for... unlike Saw I and Saw II - which left me smiling and nodding in content. Saw VII was a bit of a half-hearted attempt and did not show the usual flair the writers have made fans with. Shame, but at least it's... "Game over."
