Around the World in 80 Days (2004)

Movie Rating

2004 reimagining of the classic Jules Verne novel, and I do mean reimagining: sure, the basic premise is the same (a bet is made during Victorian times that a man can travel around the world in 80 days), but the particulars are quite different in this than in the source.

This stars Steve Coogan and Jackie Chan, both playing exactly the type of roles you would expect from each, with plenty of cameos (including Arnie Schwarzenegger!) sprinkled throughout. It's an OK film, but I did find myself zoning out at several points.

Do you ever read a book that entices you to travel? Well this book is the second reason (after the food), I want to visit Greece. Specifically Zakynthos. The romance Isabelle creates in this book is so beautiful I just want a tint piece of it for myself. I'm a terrible romantic at heart and I can only dream of meeting someone so fantastic like Holly did. I've only read this book once but its stuck in my mind for a long time.
