Hey folks, Harry here... I know I've been delinquent in writing up reviews for a few recent films like AMITYVILLE HORROR remake and more recently HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY - but believe it or not - I've been really busy. With the first, I have a great deal of positives and negatives, but with Douglas Adams' HITCHHIKER's GUIDE TO THE GALAXY - I just had a blast. For me, Douglas had always said that each version of HGTTG was a parallel universe take on what was the original book - and for me... I saw this filmed version on a particularly obtuse day, where watching the Vogons waddle made me giggle and I definitely needed the pure unadulterated joy of Dolphins singing on the precipice to mankinds annihilation! There's something blissful about that. And the shovels. And Marvin. And Ford. And Zaphod. And Arthur. And... well you get the idea, I just had a blast with it. And if you did too, perhaps this is something to bring a smile to your face, as it did to mine. I only wish they'd spent the time to do better animation - as the world doesn't really keep up.
