Still copying

Jeez, this is taking a while.  1Tb of files to transfer is estimated at over a day.  Bloody hell.

Galaxy Quest, what a film!

In the end April didn't need much convincing seeing Galaxy Quest. As it turns out She is also a fan. I knew I married the right person.

We went to Trinity, Tunbridge Wells, a converted church that is now a trust run cafe / theatre that holds around a hundred and fifty people. How many people turned up? 12 at a push, but like us they were fans of the film. I must have seen it 6 or 7 times before in fact it was on TV in December so I watched it then but I have never seen it in a cinema. I must have laughed out loud twenty times during the screening. But luckily I wasn't the loudest, that was a guy a couple of rows back who must have topped the 100 laugh count.

The second film In Time with Justin Timberlake was surprising good too. I'm pretty sure it's made by the same guy that made Gattaca which was one of the first DVDs I ever bought back in 1998. The film did turn silly towards the middle and end but I enjoyed many of the interesting ideas that were shown during the film. Definitely worth a viewing for a sci-fi fans.

Not a great film

April was out rehearsing for her band last night so I had the TV to myself. I’ve watched all 3 extended editions of Lord of the Rings earlier in the month and before Christmas I’d managed to watch episodes IV to VI of Star Wars on Blu-ray. Last week I watched the Phantom Menace and it was, how should I say it? Crap. Yes, that just about summarises it.

Yesterday I put on what I thought to be Attack of the Clones. I think it must have taken me all of 20 minutes to realise that I’d put on the final film Revenge of the Sith by mistake. I don’t think I missed much.

Phew, that's good.

Scream 4 is coming out.  I always felt the last of the trilogy left so many open endings to the story.  Yawn.

The Town

A better film however is The Town. I usually steer well clear of films that Ben recommends but seeing as nothing was on purchased it from Virgin On demand. It was a very good bank robber film. Ben Afleck was surprisingly decent.
