review As work was dull I went to the cinema and saw the 2012 movie this evening.
Overall I was impressed. Its a good action film with a fairly sturdy plot. I found it had the right mix of ingredients necessary for any disaster movie. There were the usual mix of cheesy moments but all were backed up with some stunning visual effects.
I rate it at 8/10 and reccomend to anyone needing a good few hours of well paced action.

Well I finally got around to finishing the games machine build.
Its a repurpose of a machine and is an Intel Q8200 (2.33GHz) with 4GB OCZ Gold DDR2, 320GB Seagate SATA, Gigabyte P5Q motherboard. It used to have a pants ATi card, but yesterday I found a BFG Nvidia based GTS250 card and wow I am impressed.
I am running Call Of Duty: World at War and have it maxed out on my screen at 1920×1080 with 4xAA/16xAF all options at max quality. During normal MP Gaming I am seeing 80-120fps.
The card is pretty quiet under load and isnt a power hog either (it does need 2×6pin PCIe power cables). The OCZ Modstream 600 is happy with this setup.
I paid €185 locally here in Malta which is a bargain (local prices range from €200 to €220).
all in all I give this card 5/5 
Well tonight airs the final episode of BSG.
I am sad and excited at the same time as I wait to watch the climax of this legendary series.
The UN recently hosted the Quorum of the Twelve and that will go down in history I am sure.
I am not going to write one word of spoiler (not for a few days anyways)…..
This movie was very entertaining.
I liked its pace and the plot was intelligent enough to be believable. The pace kept up with the plot and only a few ‘ooh didn’t see that coming’ moments.
The ending I found great; no cliche, no fuss, just a good ending for a suspense thriller.
..what a load of old trollop. I was so bored during this film that I started to chew my own toes.
On a more serious note - I found the film to have too much emphasis on character development and not enough movement to the running storyline. For a person like me, (who knew nothing of the Watchmen mythos before watching), it was somewhat of a let down in terms of plot and action.
I would have to give it a 3/10 purely for the few moments of nice action and story. The rest is lost as the bad guy was flimsy (and totally predictable), and the movie as a whole just simply did not work for me.
