Dark side of the Moon - party island Koh Phangan
Koh Phangan is a violent and dirty place where criminal gangs are out to get you. And, if the stories are to be believed, the police are too.
Some tourists claim drug dealers are in cahoots with bent cops, selling punters something either fake or a nasty cocktail of pills and powders, only for a watching policeman to swoop. Then they demand a bribe of 5,000 Thai Baht — around £100 — to let you go free.

Spartacus: War Of The Damned
A new series of Spartacus started on TV this weekend and they achieved the impossible, they upped the body and blood count. The nipple count was down but you can't have everything. This will be the final series so expect things to get bloodier.

Early evening at Showgirls, Pattaya
Called in Showgirls early last night, around 7.30pm, to see the Greatest Bar Boss in the World, (who said that), and was mightily impressed with the talent on display. Day shift was getting ready to ship out and the night shift was drifting in in civvies. Got to say some of them looked cracking with their clothes on. I know, I'm getting old. Highly recommend a sunset beer, both shifts in the bar and still Happy Hour.
The place was buzzing and had been all day by all accounts. Got sat with Andy and the ever entertaining author, Tony Crossley. Tony was on top form and had us laughing at his take on the farang in Thailand. He has a new book coming out any day but I've forgotten the title. Oh s%$t. No, that's not the title. Tony, please remind me about the book and it's release date. It was a long night and my memories not what it was. Think I lent Andy Bt1,000 though.... remember that......

Django Unchained - Yawn...
Sat through 2hr 45mins of Django Unchained and found the ride reasonably enjoyable but instantly forgettable. No classic here and I love Westerns. A number of scenes just go on and on and I suspect it's to fit in all Tarantino's quirky dialogue. In fact it's more verbiage than dialogue at times. Then other scenes are just added for humour and add little to the movie - the KKK bag scene springs to mind here. More importantly for me, Jamie Foxx never really nails the slave come bounty hunter lead role. Too much pretty boy and not enough hard man.
If you want to see a great Western, check out Open Range with Kevin Costner and Robert Duval. It's got the lot and includes one of the best, most realistic, gun fight scenes ever put on film. I've watched it about seven times and will watch it again. I doubt Django will get a second viewing.
