What to do...
Well, this evening Mrs. Kheldar and I watched the movie Mazes and Monsters. Optiker and Big Louie (my folks) had picked up the DVD in a bargain bin, and I just had to borrow it from them, since I'd heard plenty of things about it (nothing good). Well, it turns out that it was not quite as bad as I'd figured. It's definitely a B movie, and it is a little bit non-complimentary of role playing/role players. However, it was fun to see a very young Tom Hanks (and surprising to see how many of his acting mannerisms haven't changed at all), and at least this one had a reasonable plot, unlike the movie MASH, which was an absolute and utter waste of time. Still, I did have to ask Mrs. Kheldar how many movies Hanks has been in now that end with a scene on top of a sky scraper in New York (she's thinking just two).
Anyway, so the final verdict is... humorous (perhaps not intentionally), but not exactly something I'd recommend for anyone to rush out and purchase.
Incidentally, the review listed in the link up there for M&M is actually a little funny, particularly the part about how the guy's friend's parents forced their son to watch the movie in an attempt to scare him away from role playing, but instead it inspired him to begin LARPing (that's Live Action Role Playing). Heh...
Anyway, now I've got to decide what to do with the rest of my evening. Mrs. Kheldar should have some dinner ready soon, so I'll just have putter around on the computer until then.
Oh yeah, in case you read my blog through your friend's page, I'm making use of the Current Music meta data to list the current book I'm reading. If you read my blog directly, the label shows up correctly, but everyone else might be a bit confused...
