You know I love films and I love books, so it kind of follows that I love films based on books. Sometimes the adaptations are quite poor and disappointing (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), much less often they improve on the source material (anything based on a Tom Clancy book) but just sometimes a great book leads to a great film…

Battleship trailer revealed

I’ve watched the trailer, but I’m still no closer to discovering how Universal have managed to make a full length film out of an 80s board game.

Still, any trailer which responds to a query about what weapons have to be fired with the line “All weapons” is fine by me. Connect 4 next?
