Surprised - The Golden Compass

When are plans changed last minute we headed to the cinema and the film that was playing was The Golden Compass.

Didn't have any expectations for it but overall I cam away wanting to watch the next part. If they make it all it won't be released until late 2009.

Has the potential to be the next Lord of the Rings but maybe not the same mass appeal. The level of CGI in the film was so good it was sometimes hard to tell actor from graphics apart.

I hope it does well enough that New Line Cinema choose the make parts 2 and 3.

Off to the land of Whale Rider

We're moving to New Zealand at the start of the year. Looking forward to a work change and a life style change.

Expect more photos from both North and South Islands appearing here.

A nice morning in Bangkok. Sitting on the deck with a cup of tea and thinking about the day ahead. Bright blue sky and the banana plant just looked great :)
