Marriage makes you do things you never thought you’d do. Like watching TV series such as Sex And The City or Desperate Housewives. But, as it is normal in a relationship, you compromise. My wife watches testosterone filled action movies with me every once in a while and I watch female movies that make me want to rip my eyes and ears out in return. But I’d be lying if I’d say that I didn’t enjoy Sex And The City. 10 minutes or so into the first episode of the very first season, I was tempted to stand up and throw myself out of the window. But as we continued with the second and third episode, I slowly started to like it and to got rid of my hate. If you look over the boring fashion stuff in the series – as a man, of course – it’s quite an interesting show with more and more deep characters.

DVD9: In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale.
Jason Statham plays a farmer called Farmer (no joke) who has to go on a mission to save the world, after an evil sorcerer (Ray Liotta) decides to take over it. His son gets killed on the way along and his wife captured. There’s also Burt Reynolds as some dumb king as well as men in suits who are supposed to be a warrior race called “Krugs”.

It’s simply unwatchable. I had a couple of other unwatched movies who all started screaming “watch me!” after just three minutes. Audio: Stereo english, clearly recorded in a cinema. Video: Okay… Subtitles: Horrible messy english subtitles and chinese. Female view: I had to talk my wife out of divorcing me after this debacle… Best moment: Pushing the eject button on the remote. Conclusion: It’s more fun […]
