Movie Reviews 03/17/07

Happy St. Patty’s Day everyone!

300

I have to admit despite the hype, the film is pretty good. It’s very innovative and unique. However I still stick strong to the fact that they must have used the high contrast just to make some of the guys look more ripped….  I also didn’t care for how all the Spartans died at the end, personally I felt they gave up and didn’t really put up a fight, but that’s just me.  Xerces (sp?) was great. He could not have been more homosexual.  I also didn’t care for the fact that at the end he missed and only Xerces’ rings got nicked off. Overall, it does have a pretty good soundtrack and was much more creative in its cinematography and art direction then most films out today.

I thought this was a comedy. I mean a girl chained to a guys radiator. That’s like the farthest thing I can think of from drama. However despite the misconception, of which i think I am the only one to make, it was pretty interesting. The storyline was by far one of the most weird things I have seen to date.  Samuel Jackson does play the blues rather well and I think the film was really Sammy’s way of launching his music career! ha ha! Justin Timberlake was not bad either. He really is not all that bad of an actor, he must be getting lessons and whatnot.  Christina Ricci was great and very admirable for taking on such an intense and exposing role. I don’t really know what the point of the film was though, maybe crazy people should marry each other so things get balanced out? :)

    300 reminded me of BraveHeart in many ways… Except a hundred times more barbarian.

    I really hate Justin Timberlake’s acting. I think he’s getting better, but he just doesn’t accept his characters as people. He accepts them as characters. You can tell his character was completely one-dimensional because he didn’t give him a history. He said the lines with an accent. Bugged me to death.
