Too close to call

I've ran 2500 models since I started tracking them in 2015, however I've been pushed back into 2nd place in the team for the year recently.  I am about to hit my busiest period so will be top of the league by the end of August and will kick on for the title during September.


Last year I won by 231 model runs.  Worryingly i've got 3 weeks of holiday left to take and 2 week paternity so I will lose a good months worth of model runs in the final quarter of the year.  It might be close.

Tried to get Izzard tickets this morning

I got up early this morning in order to be one of the first 100 people to enter a draw to get tickets to a special interview between Eddie Izzard and Simon Amstel. All I got was that the page doesn't exist. Boo!

I can queue up outside before hand as another 20 pairs will be available but some bloody student will be camping outside there now to hold their place so i've got no chance.

SC Movie Review 22

Fracture

The film stars Antony Hopkins who finds out that his wife has been having an affair. There are similarities to Lector and he plays a convincing intelligent psychopath. He gets charged with her murder (attempted murder) after finding out about her affair. The courtroom battle ensues with a young buck of a prosecutor (Ryan Gosling).

Hopkins plays rings around the lawyer and eventually wins the case. There are a couple of okay twists and turns within the film but I am hard pressed to give it more than my score below.

Another film from Love Film, another disappointment. Maybe that's a bit harsh, but I seem to have dried up my list of films so may postpone my membership for a little while.

Any suggestions for a good film to rent. Recent or past gems. If I rent it and think it deserves more than 7.5 / 10 i'll give you £1.
