movie review
Ok, so this is not something I normally do. However, I was so disappointed in the last movie I saw that I just had to post.
Um, it's also not really a review. Rather, it's a few comments on the last 2 movies I saw - both this week.
This afternoon, I went to our local Cinema Saver and watched the break up. Thankfully, I waited until the second run and didn't see it in the theater because I'm not sure it was even worth the $2! Granted Jen is HOT and I would love to have her body, but it was a pretty boring movie. Parts of it reminded me a lot of How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days - which I loved - but they weren't as funny. At least in HTLAGITD they get back together in the end. (Wait, if you haven't seen either and want to, sorry...) Gary (Vince) finally realizes that he really does love Brooke (Jen) but she "doesn't know how she feels" and then the movie ends without us knowing if she ever did figure it out. Although I guess that "I Can See Clearly Now" tells us? I'm not surprised that it got all bad reviews. I'm more surprised that I didn't like it.
Now on to a movie that I loved ... Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest. Definitely worth the $6.25 in the theater. Of course, that's where I saw The Curse of the Black Pearl as well. The images and the soundtrack are amazing! Sadly, no conclusions were reached, but it has left us all waiting breathlessly until May 2007 for Part 3. Yes, I mean everyone at work - most everyone has seen it, so we talk about it all the time. Yesterday when it was slow, some people even built The Flying Dutchman out of cardboard. (That lasted until the assistant manager assigned tasks...!) I really needed to watch PotC 1 before watching this one, but there's still time.
P.S. This was really more organized when I first thought about it, but it didn't come out that way. Perhaps when it comes to reviewing movies I should just keep my day job?!
