Not that anyone cares, but here's a few flicks i've seen in the past few weeks but haven't really commented on.
In theaters:
Master and Commander - Decent enough film, but i felt it was about 20 minutes too long. Was expecting much more in the way of naval battle scenes, but still a good movie that will make an excellent series.
Cold Mountain - Superb performances from Jude Law, Renee Zellweger and Hoffman. Kidman was servicable in her role, but nothing award worthy IMO. Great cinematography, beautiful sets. Movie followed the book pretty dang well. Best movie of the year so far for me... though i still haven't seen LOTR:ROTK.
Bruce Almighty - Silly comedy with Jim Carrey. Good for a few laughs and not much more.
Pirates of the Carribbean - Very entertaining popcorn flick. Not a lot of substance to the movie and it seemed to follow the Princess Bride story line a little too close for my liking... but still an entertaining movie. Good performances by Rush, Depp, and Orlando Bloom.
Levity - Good story line, bad movie. Kirsten Dunst in another tired "teen angst" role. Been there done that, sweetheart. Move on to some deeper roles please. Billy Bob was pretty good, but that was about the highlight of the film.
Life of David Gale - Bad movie. My wife and I had the ending figured out 15 minutes into the film without knowing a thing about this movie.
Die Another Day - The worst Bond film yet. This one might be the one that stops my streak of seeing all of the Bond films. Was flat out awful. Why have these movies become nothing more than a reason to make things blow up?
On the plate for the next several days:
The Hours, Bad Boys 2, X-2: X Men United and Gigli. Gigli is being rented out of a morbid curiousity to see if its really as bad as people say it is.
