MOVIE: Kung Fu and Hitchhiking

Tonight, we go to see KUNG FU HUSTLE. It looks like it will be funny. Laughter would be good after ten plus days in the hospital...

This weekend, we go stick our thumbs out and see THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. I understand that, as with any great [series of] book[s], this has been altered heavily from the original texts (but then again, H2G2 itself was modified and added to over the years, especially in the forms of the BBC mini-series and the radio plays). If it's even half of what Douglas Adams originally created, it should be good.

  1. Kung Fu Hustle was... okay. Definitely a MATINEE feature; don't pay full price to see it unless you're really bored.

  2. HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE was... good. I'm a die hard fan of the books, so I'm not completely satisfied (as I expected) but the movie was enjoyable. I simply kept thinking "oh, man, they didn't go to the restaurant?" and "wait, there is a LOT MORE to that scene". At least the Whale and Petunias made it into the movie. :-)
