I’m actually surprised with how good this was, as I was expecting a random much action no meaning deal. Not much else to say about it, some good amusing moments. Worth one watch.

More importantly saw a trailer for Dark Knight and phowerrrrrr it looks sooooo good. I can’t wait so much. I don’t know when I’ll get to go see it mind, as what tends to happen is I don’t have anyone to go with as they’ve already gone see it :( However I have harassed Nick to take me next time I see him. So I hope we do go. I know Phil will be aching to go see it too, I wonder if he’d have had the chance between the release date and the time I go down to that neck of the woods?

Been a bit lazy with flickr and photo processing of late, I feel a bit worn out to be fair, and I’m due to go to bed in about an hour and a bit a bit.

Okay, so I’ve been consuming my time with watching lots and lots of films. Here we go…

Stardust - Was pretty good, nothing too cheesy, a nice little adventure film with a happy ending, charming, a typical fantasy happy ending adventure film

Princess Mononoke - I caught this on TV last night, it’s pretty ace in terms of symbolism and spirit stuff and so forth, pretty violent too. This is the third Studio Ghibli film I’ve seen now and I think I’ll place it second favourite to Howl’s moving castle.

I don’t know why I like it, maybe it’s the symbolism and meaning and the depth that lies within it.

Amelie - A rather cute sweet film, enchanting and endearing, about a girl who goes about changing the lives of the people around her, while unsure how to deal with her own.

A charming film with a character you can’t help but love.

So yeah, lots of films, okay maybe a film a night, but woo films. It’s weird how I can always think of films that I think yeah I need to see them. Then when it comes to a time when I can actually watch them, I can’t think of any! Though my choice is a bit limited of late, since I don’t fancy any horror, thriller, gore or random gun packed action stuff.

And I have pox in ma eye.

So after finishing the book, I downloaded and watched the film sharpish afterwards.  As usual with film versions of books I was expecting it to be torn apart. But was quite surprised to find that the film was kinda like a simplified version of the book’s plot.

Spoilerisms to come about both film and book
