Friday night, the hubby and I tried to watch THE SPIRIT. I say tried because it was a major disappointment. I had high expectations for this movie. It was directed by Frank Miller. As in SIN CITY Frank Miller. As in 300 Frank Miller.
Yeah, that dude.
What we got was some corny-ass shit that we stopped watching after ten minutes.
If you paid money to see this in the movie theater…I’m sorry. You were stupid. If you paid money to see this in the movie theater…and then got up to leave after 10 minutes, well, then good on you! This movie deserves no snaps.
Moving on…
We saw an early showing of FAST AND FURIOUS. Paul, Vin, I have missed you guys hangin’ together. Vin, did you pump some iron for this movie? Because I have to say, you were lookin’ mighty fine in that tight, long-sleeved thermal shirt thingy you were wearing. Gotdamn! And Mr. Walker, where the hell have you been? After FF #2, you dropped off the grid, man.
TOKYO DRIFT was okay, but this franchise just isn’t the same unless the Hottie Boys are together. It’s still fast, it’s still furious, the cars are still rockin’, and the driving stunts are still crazy. It was a great ride–including the foreshadowed death of one character and the surprising death of an original character. I’m not gonna say which one, you’re just gonna have to see it for yourself. Three Snaps Up.
Sunday night, I watched STARDUST. Love. This. Movie. Have you seen it? Claire Danes, Robert DeNeiro, Michelle Pfeiffer and cutie newbie Charlie Cox. You know you’ve made the big time when you’re acting with Rob. Even if his character is gay. Saw this in the movie theater and have been meaning to buy it ever since. Funny. Romantic. It’s so whimsical that’s it right up there with EVER AFTER, ELLA ENCHANTED and ENCHANTED.
Other movies which I love as well.
So, that was my weekend. Pretty tame. Didn’t get any revision writing done like I had planned, but I did plenty of laundry. And finally put away my winter clothes.
How was your weekend?
