Children of Men
So I caved in and decided to check out what everyone's been talking about. I have to admit I went in very skeptical and expecting the worst, but it really is a fucking amazing film. Let me say that again. Fucking. Amazing.
Now, I've seen people
comparing some elements of Half-Life 2 to the handling of the same things in this movie and I must say it's a very unfair comparison. I'm not going to discuss it here, I'll just say that although the game and the film share some motifs, the plot circumstances in the two are too different to ignore.
I also saw
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad which is still good fun.
