So I went tenpin bowling

As opposed to going to the movies. Almost got pwned early on but managed to stage a late comeback after I got the hang of it. I even hit a number of strikes. Now I've got to figure out how those strikes exactly transpired.

So I saw 'Clash of the Titans' (in 2D)

I've come to realize that if I'm having a hard time jotting down my impression of a movie, it's because I came away with none, and not because it sucked, but because it was bland. A case in point being Clash of the Titans, now in theatres in 2D and 3D.

Perseus (Sam Worthington) learns that he's a bastard son of Zeus (Liam Neeson) and therefore a demigod, and as Hades (Ralph Fiennes) plans to unleash the Kraken upon Argos he has to use his demigod powers to – with the help of a band of brave soldiers and a certain beauty named Io (Gemma Arterton) – save the city and its sacrilegious ways from certain annihilation.

Pirates of the Caribbean (2003) it ain't, try as it may. For that to happen it needs a Johnny Depp. And while I'm at it, it could also use a Sofia Milos and an Emmy Rossum (of Passionada [2002] fame). Now that movie I'd love to see in 3D.

(Running time: 106 minutes)
