The Island: B+
Popcorn flick, standard action fare. *Almost* touches on some really important social and moral issues, but doesn't tread too far in that direction, cause honestly, the audience they were catering toward wouldn't really care much for that sorta stuff. TWO Ewan McGregors (and for you males, two Scarlett Johansons). Holy crap, TWO OF 'EM! Lots of beautiful people running around. Also, there's this one scene with the word "dude" that was awesome. And for that reason, I loved this movie.
The Legend of Zorro: F-
Fresh off the heels of a magnificient performance as Puss in Boots, Banderas decides to do... this. Sub-standard production, overblown music, crappy CGI, predictable and utterly boring storyline, and mediocre and soap opera-ish acting. Worst movie I've ever seen in my life. Bad bad bad bad bad.
Elizabethtown: B-
Oh Orlando. It's an alright film, light and fun with amazing music. But given how highly I regard Cameron Crowe, how hopeful I am of Orlando Bloom, and how distasteful I am of Kirsten Dunst, the movie just didn't do it for me.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch: A
Beautiful. Dreamy and surreal and wonderfully, beautiful. Hedwig can convey so much passion and hurt and anger and hope with his/her eyes that it literally captivated me. The ending was confusing as hell, and I didn't quite know what happened, but everything prior to that was wonderful. It was part tragic, part comedic, part absurd drag-queen stage show. I loved it.
Gentleman Prefer Blondes: B+
It was good for me to finally see the musical from which a major part of Moulin Rouge was born. Marilyn Monroe is always amazing to watch on screen. She is luminescent. The thing is, the storyline isn't all that amazing, but that's not the point of musicals. It's about the colors and sounds and spectacular nature of musicals that really matters. And Gentleman Prefer Blondes hits the nail on all these things. Fun movie.
