Bad movies

My wife and I watched Matrix: Revolutions last night. Boring. Even the special effects were boring. Yes, they were good and you could rarely determine what was real and what was computer generated, but it was still boring.

Today, we sat down and watched Timeline. Now, I know movies are never going to be as good as the book. I even know that they rarely follow the exact storyline. But reading the book completely ruined the movie. I am sure it was a good movie, but it was hard to watch since the book was so good. They added a jittery Frenchman to go along on the journey that wasn't in the book. When he was added to the group that was going I asked my wife who "Ensign Jones" was... It was so obvious that he was there to be killed off later on. If you have read the book, avoid this movie.
