After reading some not-totally-negative reviews in SFX, I thought I'd spend a couple of hours of my life watching Æon Flux and Underworld - Evolution.
Quite unexpectedly neither was a complete waste of time, despite more than one cringing moment with each. I loved the design of the first film and it's nice to see that in the same way that more-beautiful-people-than-others-fly-in-TV-land - in the future we'll all be pretty - or is that only the pretty ones will survive - except for a token Pete Postlethwaite.
It's a complete travesty that Kate Beckinsale's bum didn't win any awards for a second Underworld outing, but she had a lovely self-repairing costume and it has to win "best use of Helicopter in hand-to-hand combat".
Deep and thought provoking they are not - fun they are.
I also watched Episode One of Popetown - The banned TV series they didn't want you to see!. Don't bother. Not because it's offensive against the Catholic Church - just because it's rubbish.

And now it's out on DVD my feelings haven't changed.

Admittedly when watching films on PC it is possible to watch it in short chunks and do other things in other windows - which helps.

That said, I found Ms B to be strangely sexless in Underworld. I was worried I might be broken, but upon viewing other ladies in similar outfits, I realised if was just her.
How queer!

A film is a good film if it does what it says its going to do, neither of them promised to be any more than lightweight entertainment and they delivered exactly that. Bad films are ones that promise more than they deliver.
