Dunedin, land of videos

Our hostel in Dunedin, Elm Lodge, had loads of videos to keep gusts company in the evenings, and we made the most of this.

First up was Bridget Jones's Diary, a very funny British comedy which puts Love Actually to shame. We laughed out loud quite a few times and it's a good adaptation of a funny book. Four stars.

Next, an old one we'd not seen before: Oliver Stone's Wall Street. This film is so very 1980s. It was interesting to see it finally, but I don't think it's aged well. Two stars.

Finally, last night we watched the excellent Fargo. We've seen this a few times but we still thoroughly enjoyed it. Both Frances McDormand and William H Macy are just great in it. Five stars.

(As Anne will tell you, we didn't just watch movies and scoff chocolate in Dunedin.)
