Welcome to another Rant of the Week. Being in the middle of Summer, Malta is very hot at the moment.

TV Series

I finished watching the first season of The Big Bang Theory and it was great. I really enjoyed it. I watched the 3rd and 4th episode of Weeds and I am starting to get over all the changes they did from last season. It looks like another strong season. I started watching New Amsterdam but I stopped in the first episode. I really didn't enjoy it.

Movies

During the National Cinema Day in Malta, I watched Wanted and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I really enjoyed both movies. They were different but both were my type. Another movie I watched was Raise Your Voice. I thought I had already seen it before, but then realised that I haven't. It was a good movie. Finally I watched Pearl Harbor for the upteenth time. But that movie is always good.

Games

In Football Manager 2008 I am having good success with Manchester United. I built up two more teams and are now promoted to the Premiership, thus apart the traditional big 4, I have 6 others teams who are very strong. In Cybernations we were on the verge of a huge war, but things look to have calmed down.

Sports

The EURO2008 came to an end with Spain getting the win in the final against Germany. In Wimbledon, Venus Williams defeated her sister Serena. In the men's draw unfortunately Roger Federer lost to Rafael Nadal who became the first men since 1980 to win Roland Garros and Wimbledon. In Formula 1 we witnessed a very wet race, in which McLaren and Hamilton completely dominated. The third place by Barrichello in a Honda was quite surprising and it looks as if Ross Brown is finally strutting his stuff.

That is all for the day

Today in Malta it is the Annual National Cinema Day. It is a day where movies are discounted and priced at €3 each.

Thus I decided to go and watch two movies this morning. I watched Wanted and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Wanted

Wanted was really good. It had a very far fetched but interesting story. Angelina Jolie was great in it just as was James McAvoy. The story is about a 1,000yr old group of Assasins called The Fraternity. One of their major assets was to do the impossible, curving the bullet. I really enjoyed it. I give it 8/10

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was exactly my type of movie. It was very funny to say the least. I enjoyed it a lot. The movie is from the team that gave us Knocked Up and yet again Jason Segel and Jonah Hill amongst others were great. I give it 8/10.

I have just been tagged again. So here are some things about me:

1. I have been engaged to RosAzzo since 07.07.07 and will get married on 29.05.10

2. I love Sports a lot. I follow mostly football, but also Formula 1, Wrestling and Tennis. My favourite football teams are: Man Utd, Lazio and Msida St. Joseph.

3. I am part of the Executive Board of Msida St. Joseph Football Club, a Premier Division Club in Malta.

4. I love TV Series a lot. My all time favourite is LOST, followed by Heroes, Prison Break, 24, Smallville and Jericho.

5. I love movies a lot. My all time favourites are: Lord of the Rings trilogy, Godfather trilogy, American Pie fivelogy, Eurotrip, The Shawhanks Redemption and the Butterfly Effect.

6. I went twice to Cyprus on holiday, twice to Tunisia on holiday and by August I would have gone twice to Corfu on holiday.

7. I love the mediterrenean a lot. I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.

8. When I was at school I used to be top of my year.

9. I have 4 tattoos. My name and date of birth on my left ankle, the aries sign with barbwire on my left shoulder, and the latest one I did it last week a cross on my right arm.

10. I have two piercings, one in each ear.

My latest tattoo

Yesterday was the final of EURO 2008. Spain managed to win their first tournament in 44years. It has been a very good tournament where good football prevailed. Spain were quite strong and they managed to win 5 out of 6 matches, the only match they drew was in the quarter finals against Italy before winning on penalties.

In the final they managed to win 1-0 against Germany where Fernando Torres scored the only goal midway through the first half.

Welcome back to my rant of the week. Lately I have been working half days for the summer, and thus I am having much more time to watch DVDs and series.

TV Series

I watched the second episode of the fourth season of Weeds. It looks different than the previous season but it is still quite good. I finished the first season of Reaper and I must say it was quite funny. I started The Big Bang Theory and it is definitely one of the funniest sitcoms I ever watched.

Movies

I watched The Incredible Hulk and I liked it. It was much better than the 2004 Hulk, and having Edward Norton as main actor only helps. I watched VirginTerritory which was based in the late 1800's early 1900's Florence. I watched How High and it is my type of movie. Very funny. Superhero Movie was a very good parody on Spiderman and other Comic movies. Finally I watched Semi-Pro, and I enjoyed the story of an underdog team.

Games

In Football Manager 2008, I arrived in 2017. In 2015 I lost the league but won it again in 2016 and won the FA Cup and Carling Cup as well but ended up losing the Champions League final. I really enjoy this career cos I have built up a couple of teams and it is quite interesting. I played 2 games on Pro Evolution Soccer on PS3 and didn't do bad. In Cybernations things are just going great.

Sports

Euro 2008 has now arrived in the final. It is the usual suspects Germany against the eternal underachievers Spain. Should be a good final. In Tennis there is currently Wimbledon going on and I must say I was very surprised in the women's division where both Sharapova and Ivanovic got eliminated.

Thats all for the day
