Advantages: Great cast Disadvantages: Confusing unless you're up on your Cold War politics
...The Osterman Weekend is a 1983 thriller originally penned by RobertLudlum, who is also the author of the Bourne saga. The film was released at a time when Cold War conspiracies were the plot for many TV series, film and book. Recent events with Aghanistan had heightened friction between the States and the USSR, and thus this film touched a very nervous point.
The Plot
This is a lesson in conspiracy gone wrong. John Tanner is the host for a TV show that regularly outs corrupt government officials. He is approached by Laurence Fassett, a CIA agent, and told that 3 of his closest friends with whom he has a reunion every year are in fact KGB operatives. He is convinced when he sees video evidence and experiences a kidnapping attempt. The CIA persuade him to go ahead with the reunion and to try and turn one or all of his friends into...

...,G4, Shaney and Leona. Also I may be a traditionalist but I like my Xmas number 1 to be a xmas song not a reality star winners so called single which always gives me more indigestion than stuffing my face with turkey.
To make matters worse we find out now over the years of X Factor many peoples votes have not been counted even though you have been charged for them. So not only have you been wasting your time and money voting but also the person you voted for wasn't even getting your votes.
If I haven't convinced you to give up on the X Factor then in the next couple of months I m sure if you stay tuned you will see the inevitable water fights biggering, band fights and Sinitta in her usual array of interesting fashion.
Though you might not see anyone who can sing.
If you like X factor then buy this dvd as it will be your cup...
