Raining Movies

12 Mar 2007

This weekend, due to the monsoon, torrential downpour, flood conditions, whatever you like to call it, was a heavily movie themed weekend.

300 Saturday night Holly and I headed out to see 300. I had been looking forward to seeing 300 for quite a while, and I must say, it did not disappoint me in any way.

The movie was everything I had hoped for and more. It has definitely landed a place in my top five movies. I’m not sure of the exact position yet, but I’ll know better after I get to pick it up on DVD and watch it a dozen times.

Reviews: Holly: It was better than I expected it to be… Me: That was $#%(#$% awesome!

Borat

On Sunday we decided to rent some movies. We picked up Borat because everyone and their dog seems to like it. It was a piece of pop culture which everyone was making references to when they said things. We thought we should see it.

All I can say is that it was 85 minutes long, and I would like 80 of those minutes of my life back. It wasn’t funny. It wasn’t interesting. I can’t figure out why people like it. Maybe I am just too far out of touch with the times. Although, if being in touch with the times makes Borat funny then I’ll just stay out of touch.

Reviews: Holly & I: The part with the bear was funny…

The Departed

Now this was a good movie. It is a continuation of making good movies for Scorcese (who for some reason I frequently confuse with Oliver Stone). The actors were great. The story was great. The ending was… you decide for yourself.

Holly & I: That was a good movie.
