I must say that I'm not really enjoying the second series as much, but it's early days. Will see. My new weekly fix is Prison Break

It took me a while to get into too Jamne - I'm not typically into this genre of series but this kept me interested with all of the twists & turns in the plot (even if some of them are a little far fetched). The 2nd series starts in Australia this Thursday

I watched my freshly purchased copy of "DiG" yesterday - a 'rockumentary' that follows The Dandy Warhols & The Brian Jonestown Massacre over 7 years. It's so interesting, not your typical film at all. Go here to have a look: www.digthemovie.com/*thumbs up * ohh...i have seen this!! great film indeed!!! crazy how that one guy, anton - he's so f-ing crazy like when he kicks that one guy in the mouth! damn.. Yes totally! He's the epitomy of the boarderline-schitzo maestro-musician! His band could have ruled the world but he wouldn't let success happen. It's the best doco I've seen in a long time.

The Motorcycle Diaries : www.motorcyclediariesmovie.com/This is just gorgeous, both the scene shots and the story.... really inspiring. It's also peppered with great humour ;D Based on a true life story, The Motorcycle Diaries is an inspiring and thrilling adventure that traces the youthful origins of a revolutionary spirit. The film follows two daring friends, Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Gael GarcBernal, Y Tu Mamambi and Alberto Granado (Rodrigo de la Serna), who hop on the back of a beat-up motorcycle for a breathtaking and exciting road trip across Latin America. From executive producer Robert Redford and acclaimed director Walter Salles (Central Station) comes a life-changing journey that critics are hailing as "Magnificent!" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone)And ladies, if you don't fall in love with Che....

I saw a mini-documentry on the guy who made this film.. wow. The penguins are just beautiful creatures and moreso parents. They strike a great balance and are so caring. Each knows it's role within the little family unit... so great. I'm gonna look out for this film too

The Ethics of What We EatReviewFor a non-vegetarian this book is a scary read. I really admire Peter Singer, he's one of the world's leading ethicists and has a style of presenting the facts in logical terms, not preaching to the reader. Last night I dreamt that I was stuck in a cage with battery hens .

Book of Wisdom by the Dalai Lama. It's very inspirational for me at the moment.

That all made perfect sense Teppic and I agree with a lot of what you are saying. As an aside, when my grandmother used to take me to church at easter & christmas I always felt it odd at the end when we had to put money in the collection box. To a small child I felt we were paying for God! Religion binds groups together but also can cause divide. It's full of contradictions. I don't subscribe to any traditional religious ideals. My beliefs are for me so I guess I'm agnostic. Hmmmm. I've read the Divinci Code and thoroughly enjoyed it (although the puzzles & riddles became a touch tedious towards the end). But this is what I'm confused about - why when it sits in the fiction section does everyone think that it is a completely factual book? I know it's been based on many researched ideas & myths surrounding the church... but is it that compelling that it could be true? Someone enlighten poor Leewah

Currently reading "Scar Tissue" by Anthony Kiedis (Red Hot Chilli Peppers) Wow, what an extraordinary biography! Highly recommended. I've just moved on to "A boy called It" by David Pelzer. It's dreadfully sad
