Weekend filmery
Some colleagues decided that there are too many classic films I've missed (based on me not getting references to them), and that this needs to be remedied. As part of this, one of them lent me "Blazing Saddles" and "12 Angry Men". Somehow I landed up watching a lot more films this weekend, not all classics.

Friday night: The Shawshank Redemption. I've seen it before, and just caught it part way in while channel-hopping. An *excellent* film.

Saturday afternoon: Wargames. Again, caught while channel-hopping. Ok enough that I kept watching, but more than anything because I can't remember when I saw it or much of the detail. Entertaining enough though.

Saturday evening: Blazing Saddles. Fun, but if "classic" is meant to imply "excellent" in any way, it fell short in my mind. Not a bad film at all, just doesn't stand out for me.

Saturday night: Braveheart. TV again, was advertised while watching Shawshank, somehow I've never seen it. It felt too long, but I enjoyed it a lot nonetheless.

Sunday evening: 12 Angry Men. I watched the other DVD first because this looked a bit boring, and while I know it's silly I'm a little put off by black-and-white. It was excellent though. All in one room (bar the very beginning and end), which is a bit odd, and very well done.

Sunday night: Little Nicky. Another TV one, another I've seen before (though I don't think all of it). Very silly, but fun.

That's more than I realised before listing them... Out of them all I'd highly recommend Shawshank and 12 Angry Men. Braveheart just if you haven't seen it (does that apply to *anyone*?). The rest, meh, not a waste of time, but wouldn't go hunting them down.
