Frasier: Goodnight, Seattle: Part 1 (2004)
A truly brilliant finale
A truly brilliant finale for a hilariously brilliant show. Not only was it a very fitting ending to the show, it was also a very satisfying one that allows us to reflect upon the last 11 years of Frasier. They say all good things must come to an end and Frasier didn't miss its cue on the timing. Thank goodness they pulled the plug when this show was still top of its game as opposed to when the ratings dictate the fate. A must see for any true Frasier fan, with several touching moments and equally as many hilarious moments. In the context of the show and the way the finale has been made to reflect upon the past 11 years I happily rate this as a 10/10.
The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)
Excellent Film
Wow, what an adventure. Vin Diesel is rapidly lifting his profile in what would have been a difficult film to produce. As he also was involved in directing/producing the film he has shown quite a new level of depth in terms of making a real adventure film. After pitch black, CoR really lifted the bar and gave us an awful lot more adventure than I expected. Some truly great scenes were also in this film but just as a side note, I take issue with some of the ridiculous and insidious comments left on this film. If you didn't like it, then why bother trashing it?
Some of the comments have tried to find every fault imaginable with the history of armies, religion, special effects and a whole host of other insignificant facts. Whilst I feel sorry for these people who feel the need to vent some kind of unhappiness akin to their lack of joy in their own lives; I must share the fact that I, and so many others like myself laugh uncontrollably at what I am guessing are a number of Springfields finest 'Comic Book Guys'. If you feel the need to utter the words "worst film ever" then I suggest a subscription to a LIFE.
Again, a great film which had a lot of twists and turns that truly were entertaining from start to finish, and Vin Diesel really demonstrates his versatility as a tough guy kind of character. Before I hear utterances of typecast just remember that Arnie and Stallone were typecast too, before they got into some comedies. Additionally, before criticising Vin Diesel of anything remember to focus on the origin of said complaint; are you referring to his roles or jealous of his physique which is conducive to the tough guy roles?
