After reading the book "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" I borrowed from a friend last December, I was curious if anyone would consider to make it into a movie. I got lucky, because as soon as I logged in on IMDb I found out they were already making it! So now I had to test my patience..Waiting from January to July (I live in the Netherlands and saw the sneak preview, officially it comes out in 3 days), and finally I got to see it.

I loved it. but I couldn't tell why? It's almost as impossible to tell how much I loved this film, as to explain what it's about ("Well, it's about a whale and dolphins and a man and construction workers and a king of the universe and a guide for what to do in certain occasions"). But there are certain aspects in the movie that make it so fun to watch. Sam Rockwell's crazy enough to play someone with the name Zaphod Beeblebrox and Martin Freeman is perfect as a neurotic British man.

The only thing I can say about this movie is don't panic and hey, losing your planet isn't the end of the world ;)

A while ago my mom came home from work and she bought this DVD. The first thing she said was that I would really like his music, but I wasn't interested in it so I didn't watch it. A few days later I turned on the DVD player, forgot this DVD was in it and started watching.

After the first song "Come talk to me" I was sold and I couldn't stop watching. I was really impressed by the beautiful voice of this man and his energy on stage. the music is wonderful and very variated from slow, lovely ballads to energetic songs which really make you jump off your chair (or whatever you're sitting on :P ).

I recommend everybody who's still doubting to watch it, to just do it and let the feel-good music come to you :)

I made the mistake to read the book Bright Lights, Big City before I saw the movie, so I was quite irritated by the fact that the screenplay was almost exactly the same as the lines from the book itself. and I think they made a mistake by casting Michael J. Fox for Jamie. He just can't bare the problems Jamie's having. Kiefer Sutherland on the other hand is almost perfect as coke-addict and womanizer Tad Alligash (you could have strange thoughts of that, but I just mean Kiefer's a great actor and he plays his part very, very well.and he looks hot in a suit). I might be over the top about it, but I think he rocks in this movie. but I wasn't comfortable with the end. it's just, you don't hear anything of the other characters. did Jamie break with Tad or what? don't get me wrong, I loved the movie, but...was that all? didn't they have anything more to say about the ending? by all means, but this movie left me a little bit unsatisfied. you'll probably see it for yourself, if you watch it.
