The Saint



Today was quite busy.  I had taken it off as I have not taken much time off this year, and let’s face it, it has been quite stressful!  We went to Aldeburgh and spent some time on the beach and the other bought some books.  It was warm and sunny with a slight breeze and we had a pleasant walk.  We had some Seafood & Grill at The Brudenell Hotel afterwards, the meal there being our first outside in a restaurant in quite a while.

After that it was a trip to Snape Maltings.  While my wife had a look in the shops, the kids read in the sun and I went for a walk.  It was beautiful there, hence the picture.

So by the time we got home, we were quite tired.  While my son did other things we watched Iron Man 3.  It was a good film, though the plot was a bit convoluted.  But while I thought this film had a few issues, it did not have the issues seen with The Saint.

While The Saint started off well, it started to unravel with issues with continuity, overacting and a story with gaping holes.  Since Buffy, I have had a soft spot for Eliza Dushku, and she was okay in the film.  I am glad we watched it on Netflix as I would have hated to pay money to watch it.
