It’s interesting that the forum and magazine reviews of Sunshine vary so much. Good because it encourages viewers to go see for themselves. Interesting because some say it is a bad film even if you exclude the science hiccups, while others claim it will become a classic. I’m leaning towards the first but would encourage all sci fi fans to see it with an open mind and eyes. Writers in particular should have their hearts lifted by seeing how they might also get away with such stereotype characters and plot contrivances!

 No long bike ride this morning. We have the first rains of April here in Chester - good for the garden, bad for falling off bikes because of slippery tarmac and the brakes don’t like being wet! So I just cycled to the nearest paper shop. Saw a paper delivery boy strolling up a long drive using the customer’s heavyweight sunday paper as an umbrella! Poor customer will have to iron it dry first! At least it means I’m back home to my porridge, newspaper reading and blog writing a couple of hours earlier than usual.
