Made it out to Cinerama to see the Avatar movie, finally. Dunno why I assumed they would be showing it in 3D.
Visually stunning is an understatement. Q~ and I both remarked at how vertigo inducing some of the scenes were, when a character would look over the edge of a great height.
Plot holes big enough to drive one of those warbeasts through, but still highly entertaining.
Got around to watching Mama Mia finally.
Some of the songs got new lyrics that I don’t quite approve of, though my like of Christine Baranski allows her Does Your Mother Know.
I dunno that I’d pay to see the show in Vegas though.
This weekend, I watched the documentary, Man In The Sand. It’s ostensibly about the recording of the album Mermaid Avenue, but really it’s more about Billy Bragg exploring the legacy of Woody Guthrie. Some really good moments, like when Billy get’s quite suprised at a singer’s improv lyrics. Well worth the rent.
More touching than expected. Lots of the obvious comedy you’d expect from the trailer, with more plot than you might expect from the premise. They of course have to make a dig on copyright issues with Signorney’s character.
Strange, the last words on screen are a statement that no one got paid for using tobacco in the film.
I was impressed with the movie persepolis, an interesting animated feature. It tells the tale of growing up in Iran, thru the revolution and beyond, from the perspective of a little girl. It was an unusual animation style, that worked well for the story. Definetly worth watching.
I was suprised at how well Mr Sandler did in this film. I can see now why they gave him the chance to do more serious work. And of course, it’s got the wonderful bat scene. I do wish they’d done more with the photos her dad took each day.
