Pitch Black

"Remember that moment."

This film follows a group of people who survive crashing into a seemingly barren alien planet. Despite the name, almost the first half of it is in broad daylight as the party realizes the planet has more than one sun, and never has night. When people start dying they suspect the dangerous convict Riddick (Vin Diesel) of the crime but soon learn that he's not the one they have to be afraid of.

Rocking the shotgun in handcuffs look.

Solid story telling, great ideas, decent acting and passable CGI make this survival film enjoyable. I'm sure most of you would have seen it by now but I still don't want to give spoilers on the off chance there are those who haven't. Yes, it's quite dated but I still highly recommend it, especially if you are a Vin Diesel fan. I give it four personal grooming appliances out of five.

Blaugust Staying Motivated: Much of this week I've simply not been in the mood to write. This is where being prepared pays off as you can just cash it in.
