MOVIE: Lara Croft, Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life

OK. Fluff movie, I admit. I saw the first one, and was mildly amused. Rumors were that the second Tomb Raider movie was better than the first. Not exactly high standards, but I needed a break from a Sunday evening at the office. Film was about what I expected, but I did not expect to have to wait through 25 minutes (literally) of advertising and previews before the film. I wanted to stand up and shout “Start the movie!” (I didn’t.) I considered complaining to the folks who run the theater, but felt I had wasted enough time.

Reading the above makes me seem old and crotchedy. I’m at least one of the two. Oh well.
