Elevator Pitch |
An out of work inventor manages to get a job as night-watchman in the NY Museum of Natural History. He finds that all the exhibits come to life during the hours of darkness and has to learn their histories in order to keep them under control. With their help he must overcome adversity and incidentally impress his son. |
Content |
Lots of CGI of extinct and living animals loose in the halls of the museum. Much fighting between the different groups of exhibits, the Union and Confederate soldiers for instance, and cowboys and Roman soldiers. Just a bit of possible romance. Some Ricky Gervais being himself (How does he get away with it?). |
A View |
Mostly good fun, although it is necessary to adjust to the view of some of the exhibits that rather than being the actual people they are portraying, they are the wax facimilies of them. Really no subplots to hold the interest during the slow bits. And of course this might be an American view of museums, that rather than having exhibits of old stuff, they are filled with images of old stuff. |

Very good blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for
a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m
completely confused .. Any ideas? Cheers!
Why not start off with the free stuff. WordPress appears to offer the best options, starting with a free template – like this one, but then allowing you to upgrade for little money to your own domain name etc. Alternatively try blogspot. Very similar I also have a blogspot blog at http://www.after-celebration.blogspot.com.es . These sites use content management systems (CMS) and if you wanted to you could register your own domain and use one of these, but they take a bit of learning. I also have one at http://www.shipsandoil.co.uk . Hope this helps.
I’ve read some just right stuff here. Certainly value
bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how so much attempt you put to make the sort of great informative website.
