It's a great movie. I never thought I would ever see a movie in which Tom Cruise is funny - but in this one he is.

You should honestly have a look at XBMC or Boxee for those 3tb's of Movies, do a youtube demo. It blew me away.... Bye bye cable Check this out thoroughly there is much more to it than meets the eye.... Plots, critics, covers, actors and sorting. Plus Internet TV.... Cant wait for the bugger to be released. It finally means that owning them on HD is better than DVDs even with covers. .

Given me a good few pointers on documentaries there, which is the area I'm focusing on right now... how do you have your collection stored. ? Mine fits onto a 1.5 and 1 Tb Harddrive thus far.

More recent discoveries of Mock the Week, Love Honour and Obey, Cinderella Man, Fantastic Mr Fox, and Hurt Locker - just watched that for the second time and its sooo atmospheric.

Never seen much of his stuff before but while I was back home this time my nephew had loads recorded, plus the DVDs of the non-broadcast bits. I haven't laughed so much in ages Now have my own copies of the DVDs to keep me amused back here.

I got a DVD of Mock The Week at Christmas, not seen it yet, I'll bump it up the 'watch list'.

I also got Ripping Yarns (with Michael Palin) which is great.
