Diary of a New Dad

Ramble

Last night I went to see Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. I loved it! I dont quite know what I was expecting, but I know it was better. Jonny Depp in it is absolutely fantastic, and in my opinion he is well and truly on his way to become one of the greatest actors ever. If you are taking your children, be warned, it is quite a dark film and could trouble your kids for a while after.

I have to say the Oompa Loompas are the most scary. No longer these medium sized orange people, and now more like little indian borrowers. The songs are genius, written by Rohl himself. Go and see it!

Also, tonight sees the start of a new show on Channel 4 called Lost. It is a drama that is based upon the real world Survivor, Big Brother esc. programs. With a giant budget (repotedly $2-3 million per episode) and the most expensive pilot episode ever made it is set to keep us on the edge of our seats for the next few weeks. The story os that a plane crashes 1000 miles off course on an island, and the survivors have to try and get on until they are found. I read a report which stated that to make a realistic crash scene the show creators even bought a jumbo jet, cut it up and then blew it up on the beach. As an avid 24 fan, this appears to be right up my street. I will give you a report on what I thought tomo.

Finally, I used my birthday money to buy some new music. The Daniel Powter album, and the Long View album. I am still listening to both of them and am yet to form an opinion. I will let you know wheter they are any good soon.

Anyway, enough procrastinatin, back to work for me.
