I COULD NOT FINISH STRANGE DAYS

I could not finish watching the feature length movie picture, Strange Days (directed by Kathryn Bigelow). I tried, I really did. I'm sitting there and friend Neil's voice whispered in my ear, via some hallucinatory moment, "these are sixty minutes you can't get back". I mumbled a reply: "Neil, you are right. Please let me." Click.

What a load of rubbish. And inept. Ralph Finnes was horribly miscast. The good news is the same director's recent and Oscar winning effort, The Hurt Locker, is better.

As antidote, I watched "Voyage of Discovery", the premiere episode of the 1973 television series, The Starlost. It was not that bad, although it is all relative; if you get my drift.
