The Dog Whisperer Live

I just – literally, an hour ago – arrived home from seeing Cesar Milan at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham. Now…why would I see that, you ask? Well, simple. I love dogs. I don’t own one for the simple reason that in my life, I’ve not lived in one place for longer than 4 years, so I don’t think owning a dog would be fair to it…however, I still love seeing dogs and being around them, and I watch The Dog Whisperer on Nat Geo Wild HD all the time, so I thought it would be fun to go along and see him live. It’s not something that would interest everyone, but I enjoyed it and it was quite good to hear him talk about training dogs, and so on.

Anyway, so, I thought I’d make this quick post as a couple of people asked me why I was there on Twitter, and I can’t really fit that into 140 characters. :P

While we’re on the subject of Birmingham, in the past week I’ve actually been there three times. I saw Cesar tonight (well, it’s 00:20 now, so last night), Jimmy Carr at the Symphony Hall on Saturday, and Alice in Wonderland in 3D at one of Sky’s special preview screenings last Thursday, which was quite good. They sent out an email to Sky Movies subscribers for free tickets, so I went along and saw it, along with the premier which they were showing live from London, which was pretty cool. So yeah. That’s all for now. :D

Marley and Me

I just got back from seeing Marley and Me at the cinema, and I must say, it was a brilliant film. Not because it had car chases (because it didn’t have any), gunfights (because it didn’t have any), corrupt cops (because it didn’t have any), a teenage superhereo (because it didn’t have any), or a superhero (because it didn’t have any), but because it’s one of the few hidden gems that come out of Hollywood these days.

It’s a great film about a man, his family, and the most hilarious Labrador that you will ever see which literally chews everything. I’d give the film a pretty nice 7.8/10, because it’s a great watch. Don’t compare it to other films like the Dark Knight, because they’re totally different. Compare it to other dog-related films. And go see it! :)
