Sorcerer's apprentice

[jack]

Sorcerer's apprentice is in fact pretty good. Simple, a little bit of tedious "oh look, young guy is clueless, old guy is gnomic, ha ha", but good fun, and a nice straightforward modern adaption of traditional wizard ideas like bringing stuff to life and shooting flames at each other.

The trouble is, now I seem to have a much lower tolerance for films where not that much happens. Eventually I will turn into someone who can't stand anything mainstream at all, and just watch highly stylised Scandanavian films.

Oh, there are entire genres of arty films where practially nothing happens at all. There was one adaptation I saw of Don Quixote which was essentially minus all of the plot, and consisted entirely of long sparse scenes of Don and Sancho trekking through/camping out in the Spanish countryside, and Don occasionally ranting about something. Compared with that anything mainstream is a whirlwind of things happening.
