I was actually mildly amused in some of the "fight" sequences (and I love martial arts movies) but I am afraid the movie just didnt do it for me - I mean the special effects were good ...real good...but it was all a bit OTT and I am guessing the amazing "twist" in the 3rd movie is (***spoiler ahead***) they are still in the matrix even in what they think is the real world (*gasp*)

Actually I have been drinking a fair amount of sancerre while I have been here - my UK partners (who are all without exception wine snobs) will drink nothing but French (or, at a pinch, Italian) and got me onto it. But at heart I am a red wine drinker! And I have submitted nothing for a while :(. Started to play last night and couldnt focus; tried a couple of games of EU II and was crap at that too so went to bed. Gonna watch Die Another Day tonight unless my wife per

Welcome to the team Elthium!! ...and with all due respect Pontius, I have yet to find an American wine that rocks my world. I understand that there are a lot of boutique wineries and so I certainly havent tried them all (in fact given the choice between something I know I will like and some strange US wine I go with the former). The varietal which the US seems to have made their own is the odious zinfandel (sp?) which I cannot stand in any of its white, red or (blech) pink inc

Haha I went to a bar here in DC that boaasted 500 different types of beer, including beers from such well known beer drinking nations as Colombia and Jamaice - but NO Aussie or Kiwi beer. Fortunately I have made some friends at the embassy and so I can get a small supply of the "good stuff". And Chris - dont even start me off on wine. In Virginia (where I live) it is ILLEGAL to transport more than a dozen bottles across the state line (this law is supposed to change soon, I th

Two of the French secret service were captured in NZ and tried. Basically the Franch then gave NZ a lesson in big country versus little country diplomacy and we handed them back to the French (it was either that or get locked out of European trade) on the condition they serve their sentence in the Pacific. They stayed on an island for a couple of months, she fell pregnant and they both returned to heroes welcomes in France; decorated by the government etc etc. Not exactly a high point in Fren
