Hello again

After and extensive break from blogging, I have seen 3 movies over this period. Two are worth seeing, and the other not worth your time or money.

Movie #1: Sherlock Holmes

This movie I saw on Christmas day, in a packed cinema, with three of my sisters. As a very critical critique, I went into the movie with a somewhat open mind. I knew how I depicted Sherlock Holmes as a character, and I knew how I enjoy Robert Downey Jr. as an actor, so as I said, I had an open mind. The scenery was very well depicted, and I thought quite highly of each actor depicting each character. It was at some points quite amusing, and other times action packed, delivering a whole hearty serving of greatness. In a nutshell, it's a must see.

Movie #2: Avatar

Now this critique might surprise you. After sitting for 2hours and 40 minutes in a not so comfortable seat, I do have insight on how the movie was. This of course could be explained in two simple words: long and boring. My ass hurt so much after that movie I honestly could care less about how I had just wasted $10. One thing I can give credit to james cameron for is the amazing scenery and graphics. However this was completely wasted on the plot which held no originality or creativity. I was sorely disappointed. Pass on this one until it comes out on DVD, not worth the cinema charge.

Movie #3: The International

I really was skeptical of this movie, but was happily impressed with the film at the end. After seeing Children of Men, I always have enjoyed Clive Owen, and this time he really surprised me. Though somewhat slow at points of the film, it was summed up in a wonderful way. A classic story of corruption and justice taken into ones hands, it was one of those movies that leaves you feeling warm at the end...I don't know why. But I would suggest you see it.
