  • BenWilson,

    There's plenty of sedate games. Puzzles and such. Strategy games, turn based, human or computer opponents.

    Can I be your brother from another other?

    A Band of Others?

    Depends where you live BenWilson

    True. I do find remote places a little freaky. People could go missing and no one would even know.

    but my childlike sense of wonder is still intact

    Mine's indestructible.

  • Steve Parks,

    Really? I thought the Really Big Fight At The End was brilliantly realised -- or, as our in-house action movie expert put it, "exhilarating". I'm really not sure what recent action spectacle you'd be unfavourably comparing it to.

    Giovanni pretty much covered it, although he was a bit harsher than I would be. I thought the big fight was reasonable, it just wasn't as impressive as I was hoping for. It certainly didn't have a wow factor. Cameron has directed better action set pieces in earlier films.

    But I suspect even having a Really Big Fight At The End is part of the criticism.

    Not at all. Take out the action spectacle and we really would be left with dreck.

    You haven't played Myst then.

    The new Sherlock Holmes film was great I thought.
    I wonder if Where the Wild Thing Are could have been any better in 3D.

  • Cecelia,

    Habicht's Land of the Long White Cloud is gorgeous. Saw it in Kerikeri last night.

    Just see it.
