Well its a sunny morning in New Zealand and the start of a big day. Today the country goes to the polling boothes as Election day has arrived. To be honest its been a lacklustre campain and pundits are predicting an obvious outcome. I await this evenings results with subdued interest just to see if their predictions for a National outright win come to fruition.
My cinema going was curtailed last week due to the arrival of Twilight. I cannot understand the poplularity of this series. I have tried to watch it but without success. Its one film series that has passed me by. Instead I caught up with my sky plus recordings and watched a blu ray I purchased from our local Wellington JB Hifi bargain bin. Flash Gordon in alls its garish glory. Time might not have been kind to this blast from the past, but with its pounding Queen Soundtrack, weak dated special effects and another outstanding Brian Blessed performance I was once more in hog heavon. This film plays like a pantomime and though a good presentation on blu ray, I was a little put out by the lack of extras as I am sure there is an interesting behind the scenes story to be told about the making of this film.
But normal service will be resumed today myself and the Mrs, are going to experience the new Titan Xtreme cinema screen at Wellington's Courtney central. It promises to be a bigger, louder movie going experience so I will be seeing if the Hype matches my expectaitions. Were going to see the Immortals so hopefully it will be a good trip and my thoughts will follow later today, or early tomorrow.
