Weeds, Season 4 Finale

*****

This was a much better way to end than the OTT Series 3. Lovely twist. Getting very dark. Doug needed to keep the humour

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult

*****

Easy to read, page turner of a novel whose main character is Peter, a bullied teenager, who heads into high school one morning armed and kills ten people. I found many of the characters to be cliched and a bit one dimensional. But despite that the...

Michael Clayton

*****

This movie started well, George Clooney  and Tilda Swinton were great. Felt it fizzled out into a "seen that done that" legal genre film which was a pity as it could have been so much more.

Weeds, Season 4

*****

The first episode of this new series was disappointing. Having enjoyed the previous seasons of this American TV comedy, this opening episode dragged along and wasn't as funny or entertaining as usual.

Top Chef Season 4

*****

As the contestants get whittled down, the competition is getting tougher, patience is wearing thin and the tension is rising. This is my favourite reality tv cookery based series and I've enjoyed the 3 preceding series.

When Will There Be Good News? by Kate Atkinson

famron

Mildly entertaining, not as enjoyable as her last #book, One Good Turn. And it is darker, maybe that's the problem.
