This is England

This film is set in the 80’s and being a from this time this film had some real felling for me. It looks at the shady topic of the BNP and how a young boy who has just lost his dad in the Faulklands get sucked in to this world without any real understanding of what this world is. Shane Meadows (director) doesn’t paint every skin head in the same light, it shows the spit in people when it comes to race and religion and brings some very difficult subjects for the time into light. It has a good cast with some familiar British faces and a story which feels very strong even if you don’t agree with it. The young boy (Thomas Turgoose) was strong and well suited for the role and I expect to see ore form him in the future. With a win for the best British independent film award to back it up it should be on for a little longer so get down to the picture house and see it.

Lives of others

(Leben der Anderen, Das)

The film is set a few years and just up to the fall of the Berlin wall on the east side. It follows a writer and a agent of the secret police and how the life of this free thinking person influences the life of someone who has been put in place to stop this. It has some real dark undertones especially when it comes to the secret police and the awesome power they had just to make people disappear for some small thing or view. This is a wonderful film with a very gripping story, there are many many for filing moments and many moments which will get you raped up in the story. For me the film started off good and just got better and better, may be why it won the best foreign film Oscar. It was a very strong cast and a wonderful story which keeps you in your seat and a numb free bum.

keyboard of the future?

I have just found what could be the next big thing! I had herd rumours about this new keyboard but until i had a look i could not believe how good this thing could be.

It just like a standard keyboard with keys and everything but the one thing which makes the big difference is each key is made up of 48 x 48 pixel display, so you can have it looking like every other keyboard out there or you can have your very own layout. You could also set it up for any type of application from gaming to video editing.
