Band of Brothers

Wathced the pilot of this series during a power cut back in Nairobi, it wasn't too bad. A little too american patrioticness around the edges and David Schwimmer was hilarious but apart from that I enjoyed it. Simon Pegg appeared delivering a letter which was a highlight too!

Was gonna watch some more but the battery ran out on the laptop!

Just Cause

This was a fairly formulaic thriller with Sean Connery playing some lawyer turned lecturer. Follows story of a wrongly convicted killer on death row who asks for help... The alligators were good actors but the best thing about this is that we watched it on a laptop outdoor whilst staying in a place called Boma in Southern Sudan miles from anywhere. Cool venue...
