I am not one to usually watch many movies. In fact until this January I could not remember the last movie I saw, however I have been getting into them more lately including finally getting round to seeing “Borat”. The much hyped movie of 2006, and after watching “Da Ali G” show a few years ago as well as the follow up series I was quite accustomed to Sacha Baron Cohen’s characters, however I was very impressed at the movie. Even after all the press, it lived up to the hype. This is the only movie I can remember that I had to pause for fear of passing out of laughter. By far the funniest scene being the naked wrestling, truly hilarious. I have not laughed so hard in a very long time. If you have not seen Borat yet, you must run out and grab yourself a copy. It’s absolutely hilarious.

I have always been a little interested in CourtTV and wish we had a version here (we do have Crime and Investigation Network though).

Less than a year after Turner Broadcasting took full ownership of Court TV, it’s making some huge changes.The company said this morning that it will ditch the 16-year-old network’s name and rebrand it as a reality-focused channel aimed at young men. The changes were announced at a pre-upfront event this morning in New York.

The rebrand will not happen until January 2008, and Turner has not yet decided on a new name for Court TV. In explaining the logic of the change, it cited network research that found its audience was most interested in action-oriented real-life programming.

Court TV will discontinue the wall-to-wall coverage of trials of celebrities like Michael Jackson and O.J. Simpson that came to define it, moving most of its trial coverage to the web and between the hours of 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on television.

Instead, the network will focus on telling real-life stories, many of them crime related, such as an upcoming show about con men, another about police interrogation and a third about security experts.

Talk shows hosted by Star Jones Reynolds and Nancy Grace, legal experts better known for their personalities than their law background, will host weekday current event chat programs, cutting down on trial time.

The beginning of the year never seems to bring me good luck. Last year my dog I had since I was about 7 died and this year a family friend died and my mother is in hospital. My birthday also happens to be at the start of the year on February 13th (one month ago from the time of this post). So now when my birthday comes along it will bring mixed feelings, the good thing about this Birthday gone is I got to see my 101 year old Grandmother for the first time in over a year. Other than that not alot of good things, although its only the start so let’s see what happens and hope the rest of 2007 brings better things.
