The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy



This is a movie I heard about while in training at Transactel, some guy was reading the book and it seemed interesting, and being who I am the next thing to do was to search in wikipedia (Way before I was hooked on youtube) and read all about it. Turns out it has quite a following, specially in the UK, after all it was created there by a guy named Douglas Adams with a bunch of people from Monty Python, certainly that explains why the movie is so weird.

Two years had passed and I was unemployed and depressed (But with Broadband connection nonetheless) and suddenly it came to mind this movie, so I went ahead and saw it online here. Let me tell you it was incredibly funny, totally meaningless as most of the comedy from England.

It tells the tale of an English twit played by Martin Freeman (yes I use those words) that saved Mos Def without knowing he was an alien , getting in return a ride on a ship that was part of a convoy of star-ships that are making way (by demolishing the Earth) for an Intergalactic Highway.

This is the beginning of a journey that will take him around the Universe with the Galactic President played by Sam Rockwell, Zooey Deschanel who plays the leading actress role as the president's assistant and my personal favorite Marvin the maniac depressive robot.


WILL BE CONTINUED TOMORROW......
