We are back!

We are back at home now.  And everyone else is asleep, and I am to join them soon.

The kids slept better than I did on the plane, by son initially stating that he would not be able to sleep (but he did so later), but I kept waking up due to the cough I have had in the last few days.  And because I had some sleep, I was too rested to fall asleep again.  So I watched some films instead.

The first film was In Time which had a great story, but while the film had lots of potential, it failed to meet up to it with lots of holes being present in the plot.  This may had been to edits being made due to it being on a plane, but I doubt it.  It is a shame, but if this film is ever remade, it could be so much better with some changes. Saying that, it was an enjoyable film, but I would have hated to have had to pay to watch it.

Lucy on the other hand was much better, a film full of twists and surprises, though some were predictable, this was what sci-fi should be.  Excellent acting, a plot line to match and lots of action, this was a film I would have been glad to have paid to watch.

Red Riding Hood is a film I have wanted to watch in ages, and I loved this take on a tale that has been told so often.  A who did it film set in a fantasy setting, my only annoyance was the clothing being worn in the snow.

Finally, in this film marathon, I watched Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and I loved it.  A bit corny in that this film fell into stereotypes, it was still put together well.  I would have loved to have paid to watch this on the big screen.

But today has been eventful with the loss (temporary we hope) of an item of value in the home, as well as fatigue.  We have been to the shops where my daughter made the mistake of buying Coco Pops and Crunchy Nut Cornflakes when I was around which means that I know what I will be eating for the next two mornings.  And with that, it is time for me to sleep as well.  Enjoy the music video, sung by someone who I saw on The Voice UK and felt should have gone far.
