David McK (3752 KP) rated Sharpe's Siege in TV
Nov 20, 2022 (Updated Nov 20, 2022)
TV adaptation of what-was-then roughly the 8th book in the series (and is now the 18th), with the novel itself being one of the weaker entries on the series for my money.
However, that's not to say that it is bad - none of the Sharpe books are - but it is also obvious in this one that the budget had been increased (slightly), but was still not to the level to do the work full justice, with the subplot concerning the American Privateer completely left out!

David McK (3752 KP) rated Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) in Movies
Sep 11, 2022 (Updated Dec 15, 2024)
Second film in the 'Night at the Museum' franchise, with this one moving the setting to - guess where? - the Smithsonian, and following on the same themes as in the original movie.
This is the one with the Oscar the Grouch and Darth Vader cameo, and that also stars Amy Addams as Amelia Earhart, receiving top billing alongside Ben Stiller.
Personally, I didn't find this as enjoyable as the first - perhaps a case of familiarity breeding (not quite) contempt? - but did none-the less find it amusing enough
