Movies, but no popcorn
I haven't gotten a chance to post since I've been busy at workÂ
so I'm going to post about what I had originally intended to talk about a few days ago.
We had a movie weekend, we rented Austin Powers: Goldmember, Panic Room and an indie film called Sleepy Time Gal. Friday night we went to see Chicago and I thought it was absolutely amazing, I enjoyed it completely and while I haven't seen the original play I thought they did a splendid job of adapting it to the big screen. On a side note, I usually stereotype people in Dallas for being more about looks than brains. That was reinforced as we walked out of the theatre and my wife overhears a lady saying, "It wasn't what I expected, I didn't think it would be all about Jazz and dancing." Wow!
Goldmember was better than the second one, but still not as great as the first film. The jokes were better and there was less toilet humor, which is what kind of killed the second one for me. Panic Room was a solid flick, I enjoyed it; it wasn't a great movie, but it wasn't horrible either and the solid acting went a long way to keeping this one from getting tiresome. That said, the suspense was a bit over done at certain points and they could have done more with less I think. Sleepy Time Gal was an interesting movie, though it was a little boring and a bit hard to watch at times just because it was a little hard to follow. I enjoyed the acting and the interesting story line, which as hard as it was to follow at times, was a nice break from most of your standard Hollywood movies. I'm not sure if I completely understood it, but it was interesting and that's saying something to me.
