Diary of a Night Watchman

Lets cut to the chase here; there is more corn than in a big field of corn, an enormous field of corn at that.

It is a soap of epic proportions, the acting both dramatic and delightfully ham, the inspired mix of more than adequate CGI and palpably 1970's cinema effects put me in mind of watching Monkey (Saiyûki) King on a Friday night in the 80's, a classic of it's time. Just this time it's Demonic Spirit Monster kicking Korean fantasy madness instead.

All the things that are right with it work well and all the things that are wrong with it just seem to make you feel little tinges of joy as they pass by.

Turn your brain off, muffle your intellect with cotton wool, don't worry too much if the storyline seems a bit complicated and confusing at points (it all kind of makes sense in the end) and enjoy an entertaining show.
