Very quick movie reviews:

Spider-man 3

Disappointing. Main criticism: it wasn't possible to distinguish between which parts were supposed to be serious, and which were supposed to be funny because the acting was so bad. I mean, I don't expect the greatest acting in a Spidey movie, but come on. Spidey 2 > 1 > 3.

28 Weeks Later

I would almost say this one was better than the original. . . . The first jump-out scare literally made my leg jerk so hard that I pulled a calf muscle, and consequentially felt like a moron. Either way, plenty of good moments, and even a few subtle throwbacks to the first one (i.e. the guy pushing in his wife's eyes with his thumbs, like Jim does in the first one.). A few plot holes, but whatever, still entertaining.

What If God Were the Sun?

Never heard of this movie? Probably because it was a Lifetime original. Why did I go out of my usual boundaries to watch a terrible lifetime movie? Because Lacey Chabert was in it. Sadly, not even she could save this movie. No plot coherence, two-dimensional characters, jumpy character arcs. . . no wonder it was on Lifetime.

Casino Royale

Okay, so I saw this in theaters, but I just watched it again on DVD. Still good--great, even. One of the better Bond movies.

A real post coming soon.
