Default Watched a few DVDs recently...

Well, picked up a few DVDs recently from the local shop.

The Day After Tomorrow
-----------------------
Thought it was enjoyable, and with recent world events a bit disturbing.
Was a little drawn out in places.

Chronnicles of Riddick
---------------------
Again, enjoyable, but not exactly mind blowing, thinking wasn't a factor whilst watching. I think Pitch Black was better.

Hellboy
-------
Again, not a film that made you think much - your standard action type film.
But found it highly entertaining, some good humour in it.

If you thought the original was funny, the boxed set has some of the Japanese version translated back into English subtitles

BTW, saw Ocean's Twelve a couple of days ago. Thought it was about equal to the previous - nice interplay between Pitt and Clooney, lots of witty one-liners, and quite forgettable by the end. And as I was half-asleep throughout the film I was quite pleased my son could explain the plot within a plot within a plot within... afterwards.

Keep trying to explain to my hubby that I need to see this for the fine acting and intricate plot - he seems to think I have other reasons for wanting to watch it.....? Moi.....? Nah......

Wouldn't worry too much - is about as close to real life as going to your office chrissy party on new years eve, at the top of a sky scraper, and expecting Hans to drop by!

saw king Arthur the other day. As explained at the beginning it was a bout Arthurius (ok i made that up) This Roman bloke called Arthur who fought off the saxons & realised afterwards how corrupt Rome was thus moved permanently to Britain where he became King Arthur. I dont think it was necessarily the same Arthur but historians have findings of a possible "earlier Arthur"

Saw the directors cut where the orginal ending was much better than the happy overthetop "Bruckheimer " ending

ps. Keira Knightley looked rather fit in it

DBW - he can gawp at Mrs Douglas, who normally I'm not interested in in the slightest but she did have a rather fetching haircut in this film.

I thought King Arthur was pants.
How come no one can do better battle scenes then those in Braveheart ?
