Recent Movies
[Moozik: Interpol - PDA]
I really really should get around to writing something about the movies I've recently watched, you know, a little closer to when I actually watched them. Then I *might* have something better than half a sentence something to the effect of "yeah, I liked this one". Well, one can only hope.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. Yes I'm one of the two people on the planet that hadn't seen this movie yet. As mentioned just about everywhere Johnny Depp totally makes this movie. Very funny actually and if you're the other person on the planet who hasn't seen it yet, go to it. But why is the rum gone?
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Mans Chest. Johnny Depp again makes this movie. Not as good as the first one though and I was a little disappointed to be honest. Seemed to go on for *ages* and any movie that has me looking at the clock hasn't really grabbed my full attention. Still funny in places and worth a watch. Why is the rum always gone? Oh that's why.
An Inconvenient Truth. Al Gore's global warming documentary. As good a documentary as a bloke on stage showing slides can get. Was a little surprised at the cut scenes of the somewhat sour-grapes "I was robbed of the 2000 election". Don't get me wrong, I think he *was* robbed but thought this was an odd place to air those grievances. Still, he drives home an important message and everyone should watch this.
The Wicker Man. Oh my god did that suck. Quite honestly one of the worst films I've ever been stupid enough to sit through. Ridiculous plot, terrible acting. Avoid like the plague. Dear Nicholas Cage, did you actually read the script before signing the contract to star in this?
The Omen. I was a big fan of the original and seeing as remakes are generally awful (I'm looking at you The Fog) I was a little apprehensive about this to be honest. I was quite pleasantly surprised. I actually thought they did a very good job. Having watched the original something like 400 times there were obviously no plot surprises but I still enjoyed it.
