Money for Nothing

Sometimes you really got confused when looking thru the bank account and realizes there is a bit more money than you thought. And usually you don't know where it came from. Me especially since I bought a lot of games and movies. How does it came to that? First, I didn't buy the things in Sweden, but from the UK. There I can get around 6 items (movies and games) for the cost of two of those things in Swedish sites. I don't know why, but somehow the british keeps the prices low on everything, and that they actually have a lot more to sell. Even games from around the millennium. Good luck finding it in Swedish stores. Secondly, the current summer course I'm taking has me experience the first time I haven't bought any books at all. I borrow it from the library when there is no one there. In conclusion, I bought cheaper things and didn't buy the books for my course... Maybe I should have thought on that from the beginning.

Anyway, I watched Fire and Ice. Good looking movie. I liked the animation, the music did it's job, but it really felt so cliched somehow. Also the main theme sounded like the Jaws theme for some reason (or maybe like it had some inspirations from it). The story on the other hand is a really cliched mismatch. There's no magic behind the character or the land. Take just the names Ice keep and Fire keep, the two opposing forces in this movie. I don't know, but it doesn't seem to have the tune like Gondor vs Mordor or it might just be me. Unfortunately (in my own opinion) it has some interesting hooks in the story. There's some kind of ruined place in a jungle with a statue of one of the most awesome characters in the film, Darkwolf. Then the question is, why? Do we get an answer to that? No. That is a bit annoying as it takes away my concentration on the movie and kinda spoils what could have been a very living fantasy world. Also, who is Darkwolf, that is also nothing talked about, he just is. Why is that important you ask? Because he is the one slaying the antagonist who he has a grudge against... for some reason. What did the antagonist do to deserve a whack to the head with an axe?
