I'll post this, as it will get lost in lots of Avatar posts.
Watched
Young Victoria two nights ago with Madame_Furie. It was okay, not a period I'm
really interested in, but it IS an interesting period none the less.
Acting and direction was all fine, but the writing was a bit odd. It was clear they were jumping around a little and mashing the story a bit to make it "fit a film format", but it ended up not sure if it was a historical recreation, or a love story. In the end, it missed out a lot of the important history, and a lot of the love aspect - so it ended up being neither of the two.
Still, it was good to find out something about a period of history I know relatively nothing about, and it wasn't an un-watchable film. One for if you're "vaguely interested"
Last night, hot on the heels of "Giant Octopus Vs Mega Shark" we watched
Megalodon It was a bunch of people, in an oil rig, not getting convincingly chomped by an unconvincing giant shark in an unconvincing environment.
Now, unlike GOvsMS, this took itself seriously - there was no cheese... Well, there was, but it was actually meant to be good I think. B-movies that don't parody B-Movies aren't good.
Okay, let the Avatar-fest commence!
