In between the Piston's games this weekend Dan and I partook in just a couple of movies. In order from worst to best here are the movies we saw and a quick review.
No Country for Old Men (DVD) - Holy crap! What in the world were the voters for the Oscars thinking. This movie was horrible! The plot went absolutely nowhere. How does something like this get made let alone win an award? Don't waste your time.
What Happens in Vegas (In Theaters) - This is the type of movie you see when you have 4 hours to kill before the Pistons game and you're already walking around Great Lakes Crossing. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great. It was exactly what you think it would be. It was funny at times but the plot was so forced. Especially the conflict at the end. Wait for it to end up on TBS or TNT.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (In Theaters) - I think this movie could have been much better than it was. I felt the whole thing was very stereotyped, the evil soviet communists, the overbearing FBI agents (What was there part in the movie anyways), and the slacker "greaser kid". It was also very predictable and slow at times. The overuse, and bad use, of CGI and horrible sound effect placement was also distracting. Like Brad said earlier, if you enjoyed the first three you'd probably enjoy this one too. Wait for DVD or don't blame me.
The Great Debaters (DVD) - Great movie about a debate team from a black college in Texas who went on the compete against Harvard. Great movie on the racial problems of the 1930s without being to preachy. Great character development and a great job by Denzel Washington. See it!
The Chronicles or Narnia: Prince Caspian (In Theaters) - This was a very fun, enjoyable movie. It was quite a bit better than the first. The effects were well done and the scenery was beautiful. Character development was a little sparse at times but this movie flowed from one thing to another and at the end I was ready for the next chapter to begin. Enjoy it how it was meant to be seen, at the theaters.
