Movie Rating
Well, that was a bit of a strange movie.

A mixture of comedy and adventure, this is set after the 'monsterpocalypse' when the chemicals used to send rockets up to explode an asteroid heading to earth instead resulted in the mutation of cold-blooded animals.

So, giant man-eating frogs.

Giant man-eating ants/earthworms.

Giant spiders.

etc etc.

Think that bit on Perter Jackson's 'King Kong' where they are on the island, and all the giant creepy-crawlies ...

(Although, this, I have to say, is more PG-rated than that particular scene).

With the survivors in separate enclaves around the country, 20-something year old Joel decides to leave his underground bunker and travel across the surface to his girlfriends community just 80 miles away.

The result is an easy enough watch, that never really caught my attention all that much, despite the best efforts of the dog 'Boy'!

"When I was growing up, I heard a lot of compilation albums being played by my parents. One of these was Abba Gold. That got me into the band. In the end, it was tough to choose between Arrival and Voulez-Vous, which came out three years later. There are two reasons why Arrival wins out. “Firstly, ever since The Darkness got into a position where we needed an intro, we’ve used the song Arrival itself. So, I hear it every night, and it’s become a part of my life. Secondly, there’s a helicopter on the album cover. That’s cool in itself. But what I recently had done was a photo with myself, my wife, my child and dog put into the cover shot in place of the band, all of us standing by the helicopter. That has pride of place in my lounge"
