More recent movies this time.
Doomsday, a science-fictiony post-apocalyptic story. Plot is lacking but the special effects, real things blowing up not much CGI, are quite good. Has a good pool of actors too but the plot is weak, incoherent and simply fails to work. My Grade: C-
The Wyvern Mystery, an adaption of a Gothic piece and a lovely period piece. Unfortunately, it is very much a genre story and predictable. The acting is solid, the costumes and sets beautiful but it is ultimately unsatisfactory. My Grade: C
Both interesting and occasionally enjoyable movies. However, my new music is fantastic.
Al Stewart released his new CD Sparks of Ancient Light! So good. Especially Hanno the Navigator which is just amazingly delightful. Drop by and I'll play it for you. My Grade: A-
