Lady In The Water

Better than expected, and a lot better than the reviewers say it is. I can't understand why they didn't like it. Not Shiamalan's best, but not his worst. Actually, it's just plain different.
It is based on a bedtime story that he would tell to his children. As the story grew, he decided to turn it into a movie.
So yeah, it's a bedtime story, but with scary moments.
A story about a nymph who surfaces to our world. For a purpose...
Dripping with morals, this movie is an excellent way to spend your time.

Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man's Chest

A great follow-up to the first "Pirates" movie, Dead Man's Chest is full of all the same rolicking fun.
The bad guys, Davy Jones and his undersea crew are not quite as awesome as the cursed pirates from 1, but are basically a bunch of bad guys in rubber costumes.
Captain Jack makes another excellent entrance, and severall new characters are introduced.
The last five seconds of the film are the most unexpected, bewildering, and horrible; when the screen cut to black, and credits rolled, I thought something like, "No! How? What? Holy... What just happened?" (Don't let anyone tell you the end before you see it)
Keira Knightly is a better actress now, but her character is more of a jerk than ever. Jack Sparrow, fortunatley, was not overplayed, and is still the highlight if the film.
Overall, this movie is very good; almost as good as the first one, and in some spots even better.
Yo Ho.

The Greatest Game ever Played

Golf.
This story takes place in America, during the U.S. vs. British Open. It is a true story, about a boy who loves golf, and challenges the top world professionals, in exchange for nothing; no winning payments, no family honor...nothing but a name among the best in sports.But he persues his dream.
It is also a true story about one of the pros. When he was a boy, he was told the golf course was no place for him. Now he intends to prove that statement wrong.
Watch as two men compete in one of the most gripping movies I have seen in a long time.
This movie has a way of being more intense than an action film! Filled with typical bright Disney colors, and interesting cinematogrophy. The characters are all fantastic, and frequently hilarious. (Especially the short, fat kid who playes the caddy.)
A film for all ages, entertaining to young, teen, and old alike.

Superman Returns

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...Superman!

..."Returns"?

Yes, this one take place after Christopher Reeve's first two Superman movies. However, I never saw them, and I wasn't confused. What was confusing was the filmmakers' love of starting a shot or a scene in a way that confuses you at first, and makes sense as you watch. Whether that is good or bad is up to you.
It is true that it is not quite as good as Spiderman 2 or Batman Begins, but it is still an excellent superhero movie. Superman is, of course, the ultimate superhero. Maybe not the coolest, but certainly the most original. (Superman comics began in 1933, whereas Batman began in 1939, Spiderman in 1963, and X-Men in 1969. And his powers are not obtained from spiders or ninja masters, either; they came with him from Krypton.)
The only thing I miss is the classic phone-booth costume change; no, an elevator shaft is not an acceptable substitute.
Might not be a children's movie, since the awkward question of "who is the father of that boy; Superman or the mother's boyfriend?" is raised.
This movie makes you want to fly.

Spiderman 3 Trailer

Hey, everyone...next May!
Looks like the bad guys will include Venom, (that's why Spider Man turns B/W); Harry, the new Green Goblin; and at least one or two others. (The Sand Man, for instance?)
Hmm. Refer to my prevous post, "Anticipation for the movies". Looks pretty cool!
