So I watched Hostel part 3 and as the title suggests, please pull my teeth out, the film was slow from start to finish, very little excitement and the acting was just dull!
Compared to the films nearest rival Saw, Saw had excitement to it, a solid story line, a serial killer that is a genius engineer and is out to teach people a lesson.
Whereas Hostel had a good basis, secret club that bets on people being killed for bets, that's the bit that was good, the rest was just crap.
Hostel went on the sex appeal and all that garb, it doesn't make for a good storyline unless your a 15 year old boy.

Hostel Part 2
So I'm not sure if I would describe the Hostel Slasher Franchise as popular, I remember watching the first one and did quite enjoy it!
Last night I watched the 2nd instalment and I found it to be dry and boring and halfway through the film I did remember watching the film some time ago via satellite TV.
Around the time Hostel was out, I was already hooked on the Saw Franchise which was to me a lot more interesting and exciting, it had a storyline which worked well.
As the second part to Hostel started playing I had thought in my mind this film is just blood and gore and it wasn't even that!
I might watch the 3rd film as one of the characters in The Good Wife was watching it!

Politics Is Killing The NHS
What is the weaponisation of the NHS?
It's been the splash of some of the Fleet Street faithful, I can't seem to understand what this term is, the Labour Leader Edward Miliband denies saying this, but I would like some clarification on this term!
From my discussions with a original member of the NHS, I'm slowly coming to think that the NHS was just set up for political leaders to use as political cannon fodder to use for election purposes.
My discussions with Jean Hall, Vice President of Haltemprice and Howden Conservative Association, opens up to debate where the NHS actually went wrong.
When she became a nurse the NHS was run quite efficiently, one person at the top of the hospital, nurses, cleaners and doctors. Matrons ran the wards and when cleaners were cleaning, staff didn't go near where they were working.
A committee of people were on the board of the hospital and they had someone who knew finance and they did the books.
So why has the NHS become the mess it is? Greed? Lack of value in staff? Ignorance to policies? Too many complex policies?
The list of questions is endless, but Jean's account is that people knew their job and were valued for doing their job.
It seems of we returned to that sort of set up in hospitals we might actually get an NHS that we need, even when new treatments become available it isn't hard to factor a specialist in to the budget.
But my own thoughts are is that greed has taken over, I haven't heard too many employees of the NHS talk about how proud they are to serve the public and be a public servants all I hear about is pay and pensions, your pay doesn't improve your working conditions nor does your pension.
Working conditions are improved by looking hard at what is going wrong, is their too many mangers to one department, is it confusing staff on who is actually in charge?
Could we do with removing alcoholics, drug addicts and drinks from A&E and instead invest more in centres where these people can be taken for counselling and support, rather than clogging up A&E and Police Cells.
From Jeans time and she spent over four decades in the NHS, it's time we the public valued the staff of the NHS and the management and politicians did as well, it won't fix all the problems, but taking us back to a simpler time would improve our healthcare service considerably!
We should also stop using the NHS for political leverage as elections come and go, nothing changes! It's time for real change!

Chesterfield Continues To Pop After FA Cup Win!
Last night was the match of dreams for Chesterfield FC, a replay of their 3rd Round Tie against Scunthorpe, the winner a place in the 4th Round and a trip to Derby County.
On the night it was Chesterfield who came out victorious, 2 extra time goals secured them their place in the Derbyshire Derby.
Last week I was visiting Chesterfield and I had a mini debate with a supporter of ChesterfieldFC, from my visits to Chesterfield I have found affinity with the club, I started following their progress around October time, they were 12th in League One, since then they have found form and composure and moved up to 7th in League One, they're knocking on the door of the playoffs.
From my mini debate with the supporter who was a nice gent he felt that the club should seek to cement a respectable position in League One, me being all for them going up to the Championship and the glory realised that supporters want their club I do well, but want their club to be able to compete on the same level as other clubs, the supporter didn't want the club to go up to the Championship only to be made to look stupid.
If Chesterfield were to gain promotion I do feel they would be able to compete with other clubs in the Championship, they're doing well and making themselves formidable.
I say let the good times roll and what will be, will be!
