The Kingdom

I would watch Jennifer Garner in anything. I have 5 series of Alias next to my desk. I have Electra and Daredevil besides them. I have seen. 13 going on 30. I might buy dude where my car, as she turns up in that

Its CSI Saudi Arabia.

Aside from Miss Garner the film features Jamie Fox, Chris Cooper. The Guy from Arrested development...Jason Bateman. As well as the very lovely Jennifer Garner.

A terrorist attack, on American compound in SA. Terrorists steal saudi Polic uniforms, they then go on a killing spree murdering women and children. A quick thinking Saudi Sargeant foils the intial aatck. However a suicide bomber, and a second bomb ensure that over a 100 people are killed. Including friends of the agents.

After some politicing an FBI team is sent to help the investigation

Some notes

``the Green Beast'' the Saudi Police colonel. Grew up watching the Hulk

The Saudi Colonel, berates his American charges, for their cursing. Native English speakers are very crude. One funny scene, is when Jamie Fox, refers to the Hulk, and Steve Austin, as his shit. The Saudi Colonel thinks he needs the bathroom

There is a potted history of Arabia since 1900. Slipped onto the opening credits

The Saudi Seargant blushes a little when Ms Garner congratulates him on his work

Jennifer Garner, flinches from the noise of a 50 calibre cannon, but not gunfire, in the conclusion

Good performances from the American and Arabian cast.

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
