Have been watching

Well we burnt our way through seasons 2 & 3 of 30 Rock real fast - great show but I wasn't so keen on the endless celebrity cameos in the third season, smacks of desperation a little. Despite the plethora of famous faces it's still one of the funniest sitcoms on TV and well worth the time.



This weekend also saw us finish off The Inbetweeners - a C4 sitcom about some nerdy, horny lads at high school. This is a very funny show but some of the bits are so excruciating it can be tough to watch at times. It's crude and juvenile so don't watch if you're easily offended.

Finally managed to watch Ponyo on The Cliff, the latest film from Studio Ghibli, and it was fantastic, a real return to form for Miyazaki and co. Aimed at younger kids, like My Neighbour Totoro, this little fable of a magical fish who wants to be a girl is beautifully drawn and has some stunningly exuberant sea scapes throughout. Miyazaki's films wear his heart on his sleeves and it's an utterly charming film and one I plan to watch again.
