A happy-go-lucky English rambler dude goes to New Zealand for a year. Here he interfaces with some of those he left behind and details his nefarious activities. Or summat.

Ug-ug-ug. Just finished a 11 hour day at work, spent tangling with one of the twattiest websites in the world. Which has left me with a rather unpleasant dull, aching feeling behind my eyes - probably my brain about to seize up. If you want to test the website for me, and mail me any bugs you find - feel free! I will then feel free to ignore them, and delete the emails immedately :op
After watching 'From hell' at the cinema last night I felt like writing a little review of it today, however, as i want to leave this computer so desperately, the review will be mercifully short.
Heather Graham does not look anything like a Victorian prozzie. Johnny Depp can do a reasonable Cockney accent (Heather can't). If you're going to go OTT with your film, go the whole hog like in Sleepy Hollow. Not make up a mental plot (The Masons, Queen Victoria and the Elephant Man were all in on the Jack the Ripper conspiracy) and then try to take it seriously. Also the only sympathetic English characters were played by Americans - come on Hollywood, English people are not all evil, honest!
BUT - it was fairly stylishly done, the Victorian London portrayed was enjoyably grim and horrible. Also it was the first film in which i've seen Absinthe being drunk, so top marks for that. Even though i don't normally bother with the 4 drops of Laudanum that Johnny added to his ;o)
