1) SONG Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy". Fanstastic record, it got in to people's hearts and minds. It takes you
back to the simple truth that nothing beats a great song.
2) LECTURE Al Gore in Hong Kong. John and I went to
see Mr. Gore speak, mainly about Global Warming. It was quite depressing in a way, but it was also uplifting because it made
us feel like we could really do something.
3) BOOK Hilary Mantel's "Beyond Black." Wonderful book. Great compassion
and hunour - and quite a scary thrill-ish aspect to it.
4) POLITICAL MOMENTS Democratic success in both the US
Houses and the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld.
5) FILM "The Queen." This film gave you a slightly different point
of view - which is important - about the family that is involved. Touching, warm and wonderful film.
6) WORLD DON'T
Israel Bombing Lebanon
7) SEXIEST FEMALE Jessica Alba in "Sin City". I know it came out last here, but she's
still got it.
BIGGEST HYPE "Borat." It was/is a good film, but it was the most incredibly hyped thing I've ever come across.
9)
FUNNIEST RE-RUN "This is Spinal Tap." It's still funny, it's over 20 years since that film was made, and it really is
brilliant.
10) MOST CRINGE WORTHY AND EMBARRASSING MOMENT Kayne West at the MTV Europe Awards.
(BONUS)
BIGGEST SURPRISE James Bond and "Casino Royale." Finally a really great Bond film after all of these years.
A Video Treat for you. Grey Lady and The Sea by Simon.
This video was filmed on the yacht The Drum of
