Video Vista! More reviews and a new userpic
A little late this time, but the June issue of VideoVista is now live and contains three reviews by yours truly:

Anamorph wasn’t bad,

The Tale of Desperaux wasn’t very good

Running On Empty, an Oz film from the early eighties, was pretty good.


We also watched, for pleasure, Frank Henenlotter’s “Bad Biology”. I’m glad now that I didn’t have to review it, since I’m a massive Henenlotter fan and I adore “Frankenhooker”, but this wasn’t good. His films have all suffered with pacing but, combined with more nudity and an unwise teaming up with rap stars, mark this out as not being very good at all. Which is a real shame.

Thanks for the review on The Tale of Desperaux. I was wondering if it was worth a gander. Definitely see "Up" when it comes around. Excellent!

Glad to be of help - I offered to review it because Matthew had seen the poster on the side of a bus (he loves buses, therefore anything that appears on one is good too), but I wouldn't want to show him it now.

"Up" certainly looks interesting - did you see it in 3D?

How're things otherwise, with you and Dave?

I did see it in 3D. I think it would be just as good in standard format, though.

Dave and I are doing well. Right now we are getting ready to go to the Reagan Library to see the Magna Carta! Thanks for asking. Your family is doing well, too? I miss your Matthew stories. Please write some more!

Glad to hear you're doing well, I hope you enjoy the Magna Carta.

We're doing okay. Matthew has just recovered from a bout of chicken-pox, which wasn't pleasant but also wasn't as bad as it could have been. He's doing well, enjoying nursery (and the oncoming end of it!), he's swimming well (we went yesterday and I hadn't seen him in the water for a while and it was amazing to see how confident he was) and he's as pleased as punch that we now put his car seat in the front, relegating Mummy to the back seat. He loves it and having him as passenger is like listening to a dvd commentary of my own journey - he talks, all the time, pointing stuff out and explaining things to his less-than-bright dad!
