And finally...
Oct. 8th, 2007 02:51 pmLast week was a relatively pleasant one; saw family/friends, read a good book, saw a good film, and smiled over certain TV news.
The book: The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - yep an old classic I picked up for 99p whilst stuck at a railway station. Actually pretty darn good. It's a short story but the writing is excellently creepy.
The film: Atonement - also very nicely done. Have to admit Ms Knightly can annoy me a tad, but actually she was perfectly cast in this, and all the actors did a lovely job with their characters. Yes I have also read the book, and yes they have changed a few details at the end but nothing major, and actually I prefer this adaptation to the original text.
The TV news: (1) ( John Barrowman is apparently going to be one of the guest-stars in the next series of 'Hotel Babylon' )
(2) More spoilery news about next season of Torchwood. Nothing plot-specific, more about the vibes within the team and concerning two major guest-stars. ( Apparently he said that she said that they said... (SPOILERS) )
