Gotta say, "Troy" is a likable movie. The story flowed well and only bogged down in a couple of places. At 2:43, it's long but kept my attention on the movie. For you fans of Boromir, he has a strong supporting role. Fans of shirtless men fighting will rejoice because there are lots of buff men throughout the movie. The rest of you, sorry. Even though Brad Pitt as Achilles is the star, Eric Bana as Hector gives the more interesting performance. I'm glad I saw it, but it won't have a lasting impact over time. Seeing Orlando Bloom and Sean Bean just reminded me that it's only a few more long days before ROTK comes out on DVD!
Cruising the Danube
Life on the river often means spots where I can't get a good wifi connection so I'm a bit behind on blogging. I'm going to do this one fast and then get more detailed on the last two stops. I'm sailing with AMA Waterways and the ship is the AmaVerde as seen from the dock in Vidin. Usually I share a bigger cabin with a friend but for this trip we decided to splurge and get our own cabin. Here's my little home for the week. Most of Thursday was on the ship as we sailed from Bulgaria to Serbia. This lock is the second gate of the Iron Gates. Looking over at the dam on the river. View from my cabin. The water is just below the window. There are only three decks on this ship and I'm on Level 3.
