Just started watching Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. I love the audio and visual effects in the new Star Wars films - I don't really recall seeing the earlier ones.

Conveniently, when Sally and I moved in together, she had Episode IV, V and VI on DVD and I had Episode I, II and III in my collection. Perfect. We definitely should have a Star Wars marathon!

Love them or hate them? What are your favourite Star Wars movies?

Over the past few weeks I've noticed an increase in visitors to my blog looking for "coxy's teens", "coxy teen" and "coxy porn". This prompted me to check the search terms.

No longer do I have to contend for the top spot in search engines with Sara Cox, DJ Carl Cox, Coxy (of Coxy's Big Break) - but also with NSFW Coxy Teens - Fresh Teen Movies!

I DO NOT OWN A PORN SITE.

I wish I did - I'm sure it'd be profitable - alas, the site is nothing to do with me. Honest, Mum!

Last night Vikki and I watched The Darjeeling Limited. I enjoyed it, it was fun - I couldn't quite tell you what it was all about... it was all a bit random, but very watchable. We laughed.

Tonight Vikki and I watched Felon - where a family man loses everything when he accidentally kills a burglar who broke into his home. I enjoyed it, it was tense - the story was captivating. We cried, nearly.

Tonight I watched Detroit Rock City for the first time (in full, at least). I'd seen part of the film before in high school when the year above me were watching it in their class, and I went in to watch it too. That's going back to the year 1999 or possibly 2000 - I didn't get to see the whole film though.

Since then, I'd only seen it in the shops once - but when I actually went back to the store with money to buy it, it was gone! I never really shopped online at the time, so never thought to look for the DVD on Amazon - until the other night... after I'd downloaded the torrent (magnet).

It's very much a teen movie where the story centers around a group of kids who idolise KISS (the band) and tells of their journey to see them live in Detroit. IMDB's rating for the movie is above-average (five makes for an average movie, right?) but rates it as not a being great, but I really like it; the movie carries a certain charm.

I've put the film on my Amazon Wishlist and if I don't end up getting it for Christmas, I'll no doubt buy it in the new year - because it's not likely to make its' way to HD DVD anytime soon (yes, I'd love this film in HD).

I think I'm getting quite slack with my blog updates. I don't quite know what to write anymore - or whether anyone actually reads them - but I'll carry on regardless. (I'm sure there's a song in that somewhere).

Well, I guess what I can talk about is what movies I've watched recently. First, the movie everyone's been talking about... Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (IMDB) or Borat Movie, for short. I laughed, I cried (with laughter) and then laughed some more; amid being horrified at the general offensiveness off the Americans in the movie. If you get the chance to, you should go and see it.

Next would be Saw III (IMDB). Well, that's one movie that I don't think I'll want to watch again; it was sick. I am looking forward to Hostel 2 (IMDB) which was previewed beforehand.

On the DVD front, I've watched two films which were alsolutely brilliant! Most recently, and just this weekend, I watched Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (IMDB) or 'the first one' for short. I'd missed this film when it was out at the cinema, and didn't want to see the seond and third until I'd seen the first (makes sense, right?) and so am only just catching up.

Second film I've watched recently is Requiem for a Dream (IMDB) which was another film that had passed me by at its time of release. However, I cuddled up on the couch with my darling girlfriend one night and watched the Amazon rental. It was superb. Very good film, well made and very emotional. A must see.

Well, elsewhere, I've updated my 365 photo album (that's where I take a photo for every day of the year, for those that have forgotten) with some new entries. And the Manchester Christmas Markets start on Thursday, so I'll see you all at the Gluhwein stand in St Ann's Square. Right?
