I was going to see Burnt by the Sun 2, but I couldn’t bear it and had to turn it off after 25 minutes.  So I watched Godzilla instead.  The best thing I can say about that one, is that the last half hour wasn’t as annoying as the first three.

Good acting, some bloody great battle scenes.  What’s not to like?
