Saw 2 DVDs. 'Pitch Black' - for the first time and enjoyed it a lot. Quite a decent little sf film [tho I thought the Caroline death at the end was needlessly gratuitous.

And saw 'The Returner' which is also pretty good. I have a quibble with the last 5 minutes of the flick, in that IMHO there were 3 plausible endings. #1 has the girl stuck in our time because her own does not exist any longer; #2 that she ceases to exist because the time she comes from no longer exists; or #3 that she is recalled back to her own time in a now-parellel Earth, since she could not change her own timeline, but could alter it on another Earth. In any of these conditions, there is no need for a 2nd visit from her [as it could be explained by prior knowledge] - and IMHO this 2nd trip greatly weakens the story.

That's kind of what I was told. But when it comes to 'Pitch Black' I will recommend it as a quite decent genre flick.

But I won't expect much from 'Riddick' ^_^
