There are very few films worth getting passionate about, nowadays.
We have a new HD TV, owing to domestic changes (son living at home, between
jobs) so I have been checking the HD qualities with Freesat and BluRay. I
watched a bit of Shrek (pap), Madagascar 2 (OK, but not as funny as no 1) and
Ice Age 3 (entertaining and funny). I also watched Pirates of the Caribbean
(inventive, but bo**ox).
I must be getting old ...
