Superman Doomsday
I guess this was recommended since I liked the Hellboy series. Not as good unfortunately. Pretty much a tiny bit darker version of what you saw most Saturday mornings. Entertaining but not anything special, even though I didn't know the deal with Doomsday until I watched this (well, I knew Superman died and eventually there are like 5 of him). A don't get me wrong, it was not bad, it was just weak. B-
Hogfather
So this is a movie about a world in which you don't fuck with Santa Claus. At times tedious or overly melodramatic it probably could be improved with about a half hour taken out. Otherwise it was actually quite good, certainly (to me) better then the book. Prachett has credits for "Muking About" in the film in addition to his credit for being the original author. If you like Harry Potter meets Peirs Anthony's Xanth world this is something for you (or a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy but as a riff on Fantasy instead of Sci-Fi).
Anyways it's a pretty decent movie, a B+, tighter editing would have made it an A.
