We are now back in the UK and the weather is lovely and sunny. It’s a little chilly though and shorts and t-shirts are still in my backpack (yes I still haven’t unpacked yet!)
We didn’t get our flight upgrade so we were cram packed in economy right behind the bulkhead seats with all the screaming kids. But for some reason I was so chilled out none of this bothered me. I managed to sleep well and watched a few movies.
Here are some film reviews, bearing in mind that long haul flights are not the best place to review films.
Slumdog Millionaire
This is about a kid who won millionaire and had to justify how he knew all the answers by going through his life history.
Well this has to be the boringest movie I have ever tried to watch. I managed to sit through 10 mins of it when I got bored and switched to something else.
Because of the good reviews I thought I should attempt another 10 mins. Got bored switched to another movie.
Then I even went back for more torture by trying another 10 mins, and finally gave up in disgust.
Mike gave up after the first 5 minutes.
Australia
This film is highly recommended if you are an insomniac. I had the best flight sleep ever as I passed out watching this boring load of crap.
Mike managed to watch the whole thing but also said it was boring and not worth me trying to watch the finish of it.
Marley and Me
Starring Jennifer Aniston and that guy from Armageddon, and some ugly mongrel mutt.
Its about Jennifer and that guy from Armageddon getting married and having this horrible mutt that wont behave. It was more drama than comedy and that guy from Armageddon tried very hard to make it into a soppy movie, but his attempts were almost laughable.
I could not get attached to this dog and if he were mine I would have dumped him on the side of the road years ago, so when he died it was like “get over it you guys, this isn’t even sad”.
Anyway, a rubbish movie in my opinion and not even funny.
Run Fatboy Run
Starring that guy from Spaced and Phoebes russian ex-boyfriend from Friends.
This was about that guy from Spaced leaving his gorgeous bride at the alter, then trying to win her back but she had already moved on with Phoebes russian ex-boyfriend from Friends (who by the way had a really fit bod!)
It was watchable and that’s all I have to say!
