Taking of Pelham 123

Reading about another pointless remake (haven't seen it, so I can't comment further),
I came across another version! Yes, aside from the brilliant '74 original with Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw, apparantly there's a made for TV version from '98 with the somewhat average cast of Vincent D'Onofrio, Edward James Olmos, Lorraine Braco and...Donnie Wahlberg, the bargain bin Mark Wahlberg,(who in turn is a bargain basement Matt Damon, who in turn...ah, you get the picture...)

Raise a glass to Munich...

I've spent the last 4 months in Munich and it's been such a fun time. I only wish I was better at keeping a blog, if only to read back on my thoughts at a particular time. But i resolve to be better, as long as I've got something to say!
The weather hasn't been great by German standards, but by Irish standards, it's been tropical! Even as i type this in the middle of September, Oktoberfest has kicked off and the weather is fab!

Alas, my time here is nearing an end, so I'll spend the miserable wet & cold Irish winter with some fond memories of Munich '09. And promise to create my own micro-brew in honour of the finest (Guinness excepted) beer in the world.
