Fracking Brilliant!

Last night I went over to robinbloke's, played a little Wario Wares Smooth Moves on the wii, cooked up two gorgeous fillet steaks from the Art of Meat and then we watched DVDs:

- BSG Razor. Wow, really excellent film, lots of character stuff, background story and old style toasters! ETA: This doesn't mean that it works as a standalone story, it's what happened on the Pegasus in the beginning and then during Lee's command, as well as a few flashbacks to Adama's time during the first Cylon War.
- Planet Terror: (Robert Rodriguez' half of Grindhouse) Hot chicks, gratuitous splatter, Tom Savini and Zombies, there's not much else one could want...
- Blood Rayne: cheesy adaptation of the video game by Uwe Boll. Not as bad as some of his other stuff, this was actually watchable.

Now back to tidying and stuff.

BSG Razor. Wow, really excellent film

I feel I must disagree. It was a really excellent episode. Didn't work as a movie at all. I watched it with someone who hadn't been following the series and they found it borderline incomprehensible and quite unsatisfactory in terms of plot sequence and resolution.

I liked BSG Razor as well, although I'd have to agree with other comments that it works more as an episode (or perhaps as a stand alone add on to the series - akin to the later B5 stuff or the Farscape specials)
However what I really wanted to comment on was the fact that you've found a watchable Uwe Boll film. I don't understand?? I had the misfortune to watch Alone in the dark and that was perhaps the worst film I've ever seen - including some of the dire stuff they show on Zone Horror - It was like a DVD version of a Cthulhu Mythos text it ripped sanity points from my mind in a form of mental rape. I'm shocked and somewhat aghast that such an "inspired" film-maker (and I'd use that term loosely) has made something actually watchable
