..something with the heart of Shawshank. Or the pure make-you-smile nature of Forrest. Or even something as deep but gripping as The Departed.

Haven't watched a movie in a while. Been addicted to The Sopranos for the past month or so, not had the time for one!

But I feel like one now..

Charz!

I just watched I Am Legend despite my gut feeling of it being rubbish and was surprisingly entertained.

i may well do, cheers, i'm currently on this at the mo http://www.amazon.co.uk/God-Not-Great-A ... 1843545861

it's not a novel, but a case against religion, a good and difficult read (ridiculous big clever unheard of words used is what i mean, i know that makes me sound stupid). a good argument too.
