This weekend I have mostly been

Watching a few old films

If you like saving private Ryan you may like this, it is surprisingly apolitical and focuses mostly on the infantry on the ground. I finally got my DVD back bar stewards who borrow them pass it around 100 friends and I finally got this back yesterday.




Also

Hard Boiled




Note HARD BOILED IS FICTION, I've had more than a few questions asking me if Hong Kong is normally like what is depicted in Chow Yun Fat Movies, i.e. regular gunfu shoot outs all over the place. And no it is NOT like that in HK even Manchester isn't like that and you get murders all the time here.

But then again these are the same people who thought Braveheart was set in modern day Scotland

Material girl cover.

Dear TCG

I remember an old Song from TVB tapes I heard quite often as a child I can't remember who the writer or who did the vocals however it was a cover of Material girl or sounded like it. Ive checked wikipedia and asked on lots of forums but nobody seems to have heard of it

Dear Vanessa

Today is your lucky day. I know the song because erm I know the song. The song is by Sally Yeh/Yip. It is called 200 degrees, it is uncredited on wiki probably because they are so incredibly embarrassed just to watch the video, back in 1985 this was probably cool but today is rather embarrassing.

And you can watch the video here:



Try watch the video and not smirk at the two guys.

You may remember Sally from such films as the killer


Sally plays the poor girl who sings at the start and is involved in a massive shootout and is blinded by Chow Yun Fat
