    Hi All,
    The Matter Myth
    In this sweeping survey, acclaimed science writers Paul Davies and John Gribbin provide a complete overview of advances in the study of physics that have revolutionized modern science. From the weird world of quarks and the theory of relativity to the latest ideas about the birth of the cosmos, the authors find evidence for a massive paradigm shift. Developments in the studies of black holes, cosmic strings, solitons, and chaos theory challenge common-sense concepts of space, time, and matter, and demand a radically altered and more fully unified view of the universe.

    Hi All,
    Forsaken (Via Sky Cinema) A nice not to shabby low budget western starring the Father and Son Sutherlands, while the story is a predictable
    revenge it has enough in it to keep you watching if you like the genre it is watchable, but just don’t expect a Clint Eastwood style of western just
    enjoy it for what it is I did…..:cool:

    Starring:-Kiefer and Donald Sutherland,Brian Cox,Michael Wincott,Aaron Poole,Demi Moore,Greg Ellis,Siobhan Williams,Dylan Smith,Chris Ippolito,
    Landon Liboiron,Wesley Morgan,Christopher Rosamond and Michael Therriault.

    In 1872, after abandoning his gun and reputation as a quick-draw killer, John Henry Clayton (Kiefer Sutherland) returns to his hometown in hopes of repairing his relationship with his estranged father (Donald Sutherland). But a local gang on the orders of James McCurdy (Brian Cox) is terrorizing the town, and John Henry may be the only one who can stop them.

    Hi All,
    Worms To Catch “I was never going to sleep in and take it easy, there were worms to catch.”

    Breaking records on the world’s biggest Wall of Death, cycling 2,745 miles across the length of the United States (while sleeping rough), attempting
    to be the fastest person ever on two wheels and travelling to Latvia to investigate his family’s roots, it’s been a busy year for Guy Martin. There’s been
    some thrilling racing too, including wild Harley choppers on dirt and turbo-charged Transit vans through the Nevada desert. And don’t forget there’s
    the day job to get back to in North Lincolnshire – the truck yard and the butty van.

    Guy has done more in one year than most people do in a lifetime, and with his gift for story-telling, he takes you with him to the outer limits of
    human endurance, and on a dizzying adrenalin high, all in a day’s work.

    Hi All,
    While certain pilots had a flare for whatever in all aircraft all pilots should be recognised no matter what Ethnicity/Colour/Gender/Religion they where,
    the best spitfire pilot award should be based on a non descript statue dedicated to all Spitfire pilots both civil and military simple! If not a statue then
    a plaque not a poll pandering to the PC culture we are having foisted upon us.

    All pilots who flew should get a well deserved pat on the back whether they flew one mission or flew many in whatever theatre of the war. Both the
    military and Civil rose up to the challenges of the war that faced the UK and the world. Something today not many would do across a wide portion of
    the young populous because it would be against whatever principals.

    It’s just another PC culture agenda to push the mainstream view of whatever (In this case Aviation history) back to what suits them. This type of
    thing does nothing to improve things IMPO it only leads to more problems and stirs up trouble in various groups not associated with the mainstream
    idea of whatever it splits apart rather than unites all people. By forcing their ideas on to and in to whatever they are pandering to those who would
    make personal gain from continual pointing out whatever involving inadequacies of Ethnicity/Colour/Gender/Religion.

    In short we should just recognise a collective of young people for the most that came together and did amazing feats during the war no matter what
    their individual Ethnicity/Colour/Gender/Religion they all fought on the same side and won together simple!

    Hi All,
    Crimson Peak(Via Sky Cinema) A somewhat disappointing Horror IMPO may be due to the review that Collider gave this that I watched in
    the lead up to the cinematic release which was rather good and may have lead to my higher expectations, but hey everybody’s different. While I
    do think the CGI is excellent the story is drawn out at times, just a basic horror none the less watchable if you like the genre. just don’t expect
    to much from it horror wise from this usually good director Guillermo del Toro..:rolleyes:

    Starring:-Mia Wasikowska,Jessica Chastain,Tom Hiddleston,Charlie Hunnam,Jim Beaver,Burn Gorman,Jonathan Hyde,Leslie Hope,Sofia Wells,
    Doug Jones and Javier Botet.

    After marrying the charming and seductive Sir Thomas Sharpe, young Edith (Mia Wasikowska) finds herself swept away to his remote gothic mansion
    in the English hills. Also living there is Lady Lucille, Thomas’ alluring sister and protector of her family’s dark secrets. Able to communicate with the
    dead, Edith tries to decipher the mystery behind the ghostly visions that haunt her new home. As she comes closer to the truth, Edith may learn that
    true monsters are made of flesh and blood.

    Hi All,
    I always thought the cookies passed your details on to other 3rd parties then you would be bombarded with unwanted adverts or sites asking opinions etc.etc.etc. which I always thought was the definition of spam ? But if you say it’s safe to click on then i’ll just delete it thanks all so much….:eagerness:

    EDIT: I have just tried to un-tick all the boxes and the Necessary Marketing will not allow me to do that so like I suggested is this just a massive advertising of predictive web searching ?
