Frederick Forsyth The Fourth Protocol
Watched the Fourth Protocol, taken from the book by Frederick Forsyth, on DVD the other night.
Michael Caine and Pierce Brosnan did a creditable, if unremarkable, job.
Strangely, we have never seen it before, quite why I am not sure. Anyway, we are now sole owners of a copy, so we need not be submitted to the misery of being unable to watch it, should the urge thrust itself upon us.
The next point being the cost. £2.99!
What I hear you cry, shurely shome mishtake?
Absolutely not, £2.99, and bought in Virgin as well. This is the answer to piracy, stop gouging buyers and people would not only buy more but would not bother with pirate copies.
Incidently, before you think this is an endorsement for Virgin, they are as guilty as the rest.
They want £17.99 for The Ipcress File !
You need to be Richard Bloody Branson to go off at that price!

Rod, I’ve been going through the recent film reviews. Seems that the Da Vinci Code has a poor review however Brick is supposed to be very good. It’s a crime mystery but I’m not sure when it’s being released over here. Cannot make up my mind whether to see the new Bond film or not. For something unusual and witty, Lost in Translation is a favorite of mine.

Hi Lyn
the Da Vinci Code sounds like a 3 for £20 on DVD special offer to me.
I shall buy the DVD, I suppose I have to.
Not heard anything of Brick but Lost in Translation I have on DVD, sadly for me the title said it all.
Perhaps it’s a Chick Flick
