Well, I didn't get to go see ROTK on Saturday since I couldn't get a hold of Kenny in time and besides, I wasn't really looking forward to braving the insane Christmas crowds only to be stuck with ANOTHER crowd for 3.5 hours in a movie theatre. That's okay though. I'm a patient man and this movie will be just as good with an audience of 200 or 20.
Anyway, I contemplated about getting the last two people on my list their gifts, but I took the lazy way out and decided not to. Instead, I went over to the video store and picked up a few mindless movies to help me kill time on a lazy Saturday afternoon. I got League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Sinbad, and Pirates of the Carribean.
Out of the three, The League was by far the best one, IMO. I had a pretty cool concept and a straighforward plot and plenty of action to keep you entertained. Truly an underrated movie.
Sinbad was just boring. Too bad, It was so beautifully animated, but the story was stale and drawn out and it couldn't end soon enough for me.
Pirates of the Carribean was good, but a bit overrated, imo. The way everyone was hyping this movie up, I was expecting something truly amazing, but it fell kind of short of my expectations. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom carried this movie, without them, I doubt I would've finished watching it. The female lead was pretty, but her romantic interest was just annoying as hell and I really wanted someone to shave that peach fuzz mustache of his! Special effects and musical score were top notch and the beautfiul tropical setting is always a plus.
