"Gladiator" was when Ridley Scott still made good movies. Great film, one of my wife's favorites.

I saw a movie and a show this weekend:

1) "The Witcher season 2, episode 1" -- I did not like Witcher season 1 at all. It was a jumbled mess of incoherence and bad directing that failed to generate a cohesive, serial storyline. Episode one of season two, however, promises to be better. It seems as if they have found new directors, because for the most part this episode was pretty good, albeit quite "familiar" feeling. I have seen this story before in the games--although I forget which one. Their budget has increased substantially, too. I will have to watch more. *** out of **** stars.


2) "The Object of Beauty" -- Early 90s drama starring John Malkovich(when he still had hair) and Andie MacDowell. Not a bad movie, fun little plot and progression of events. Not bad. *** out of **** stars.
