Chapter 224 Review: The Wolfman (2010)

Verse 1

This is yet another remake of a movie we have seen any number of times and you can possibly guess what i thought of it.

There are a number of well known actors starring in this movie. Benicio del Toro is of course The Wolfman and Anthony Hopkins is his father with a little secret of his own. Emily Blunt is the female star and Hugo Weaving play the policeman trying to stop the grisly murders taking place, he played among other roles Elrond in Lord of the Rings and Agent Smith in Matrix.

Unfortunately this group cannot save this movie from being mediocre at best and fast-forward boring at worst.

I do not recommend it.

Verse 1

The item from Chapter 221 is of course a Micro Grappling Hook, never leave home without it!
Very useful for pulling yourself out of bed on a Monday morning, just hook it to the nearest cat and throw some catnip for it to chase and up you go.

Ps.
No cats were harmed in the writing of this post.

Chapter 222 Review: Alice in Wonderland

Verse 1

I am sure we all have seen at least one version of Lewis Carroll's  Alice in Wonderland and if not this version with among others Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter, Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Helena Bonham Carter as Red Queen is not a bad place to start.

Tim Burton is of course the director and if you are familiar with his work you have an idea of what to expect. He doesn't follow the story to the letter but that is not a problem for me, i enjoyed his version of the classic and there are several other familiar actors this cast that do very well interpreting the known characters. 

Stephen Fryn does a very relaxed and likeable Cheshire Cat, Matt Lucas known from the tv-series Little Britain play the two weird boys Tweedledee and Tweedledum and if you are a fan of the series you will recognize his manners in Alice.

Tweedledee and Tweedledum

If you like Tim Burton, Johnny Depp and odd characters in a weird setting i think you can enjoy this movie. It is not ground-breaking in any way but it is almost  two hours well spent. I like dialogue that contain material that make good quotes and there are several of those in this movie and that is a bonus in my book.

I recommend it.

Chapter 221 Question of the day #2

Verse 1

My latest acquisition just arrived and you will of course get the chance to guess what it is. Just a few details because i think this one is quite easy.
It is made of steel and 5 centimeters long, the three spikes you see protruding are 2,5 centimetres. There is a hole at the top end for attaching something.

How could i ever have resisted buying this little thing?

What is this?

Good luck!

Chapter 220 Glory be and answers

Verse 1

It may rain, it may be dirty slush on every street, windy and like hell in many ways but i feel a glimmer of hope that we soon can enjoy the slow demise of Winter.

To answer the question from Chapter 217 i can let you know that it was a Honey Stove that was just too cute to resist!
