Wonderful to see how the various guards start to strut as their Regimental Marches are being played on the quicktime marchpast. Watch it live on BBC,the Queen had a bit of a laugh as the parade commanders horse played up as he asked permission to march off.                     Regards

I am looking forward to hearing more about this production I just hope it tells the truth and does not just cater to the national myths as Gallipoli does.You all know them, all good decisions were made by Australians and all dumb ones were made by Brits.The truth is that the evil orders issued...

Given the juvenile tastes of most of the audience the movie industry cater to, its a very difficult question to answer.However the most disgusting movie I ever watched was Texas Chainsaw Massacre, like watching a snuff movie,.By the way I enjoyed The English Patient.                    Regards
