The Texas Chair

No, not the one you plug in...I bought one of those fold away chairs that has a Texan flag pattern, so at least I'll have something comfy to sit on at the surfing.

I got it from Wal-Mart (no I didn't buy any socks, Phil) but I did buy a couple of DVD's. Syriana and The Hills have eyes Unratededition (I think that means its a bit more gruesome). To be honest, I was a little disappointed with Syriana, I thought it was slow and dis-jointed.

The Hills Have Eyes, started off ok, waned towards the middle, and the less said about the end the better! The plot seemed really formulaic, and by the end of the film, I really wanted the main character to get an axe in his head. And why is it with any film like this you can tell which character is going to die first, a mile off! Heres the formula (most likely to die being first):

1. Fat dumb bloke. Like Spring follows winter, the stereotypical fat dumb bloke will be the first character to go, because no one wants to see a pudgey guy save the day.

2. The cute pet. I laughed out loud when The Hills Have Eyes had 2 dog characters. Was it gonna be Beauty or Beast that bit the dust first? As soon as Beauty broke away from her chain and ran into the hills, I knew she wouldn't be coming back for her 'Winalot'. Sure enough, a bark, followed by a whimper confirmed my suspicions!

3. The cocky loud mouth. I do love it when the know-it-all gets what he deserves

Anyway, I need coffee...
