We saw POTC3 today. I, unsurprisingly, liked it. Yeah, the maelstrom scene went on waaaay too long, and where the heck were the rest of the pirate fleet during the big battle, but on the whole, I liked it a lot.

I don't agree with the end Norrington got, tho'. In my version, he escapes with Elizabeth and her pirates, and eventually ends up as the captain of the Flying Dutchman.

I just saw the movie Druids. Oh. My. God. Definitely the WORST movie I've EVER seen, even with alcohol and loud and clever friends. I can't believe I sat through the whole thing. It was an amazing experience, but not one I'm likely to repeat.

When does Black Sheep open again?

It's playing right now! All you have to do is fly to New Zealand: [link]

Don't think it's not an attractive idea to this job-free viewer. But the overall price is a tad bit high.

Saw Mr. Brooks last night. Not at all what I was expecting. It doesn't really play out as the killer/detective cat and mouse story it seems to be sold as - and occasionally seems to want to be. In reality, it's all about Costner's character - Demi Moore is good, but they might as well be in separate movies. Somehow all the threads they've woven in here don't ever quite hang together.

Which is not to say it's a bad movie. Costner is much better than I expected, and William Hurt rocks - the interplay between those two is by far the best part of the movie, and leaves you with the most to think about.

(Nothing really spoilery here, just generalities. I'm not really sure of the whitefont protocols in this thread, since I almost never see anything current.)

Michael Cera and Judd Apatow satirize the Lily Tomlin/David O. Russell footage.

Speed Racer story - includes a picture of the Mach 5.

Interview with Christopher Eccleston - mostly about The Dark is Rising - includes a picture of him as Rider.

I must say, the thing wrong with the picture is that the hair obscures the ears.

Yum. I hope they do those books justice.
