I saw Pirates again yesterday with my parents (just as good the second time as the first!) and then we saw Johnny English after that. Now I don't know if it was because I hadn't eaten in awhile and was very hungry or what, but I found myself checking my watch alot through English. It defenitely had its funny moments and Atkinson is a hilarious actor but for the most part, it wasn't the best thing I've ever seen.
And I saw alot of new previews I didn't see before so here's my take on the ones I can remember
:
--Finally got to see the Brother Bear preview. It looks cute but I don't think it's something I'll pay to go see. I did love the two moose though, they were hilarious at the end of the trailer when they told the audience to leave so BB would be the only movie we see this year and made a hilarious crack about going to "find that nemo".
--Secondhand Lions, starring Michael Cain, Robert Duval and Halley Joel Osmet(sp?) looks pretty good. Its about Cain and Duval as surly old sit-on-porch-with-shot gun-men who are uncles to Osmet and him kind of breaking through their shell I think. It's set in the 30s or so..actually I don't know, just the past sometime...but anyway, it looks pretty funny and heartwarming.
--Dickie Roberts, starring David Spade. He's a child star that nobody remembers trying to make a come back but in order to do that has to relive his childhood so he rents a family. It looks like a typical Spade comedy thats probably good for a few laughs. Not one I'd see in theaters though. The best part of the preview was Spade playing poker with Leif Garret, Danny Bonaduce(sp?),Screech (from saved by the bell), and Barry Williams discussing how they miss limos.
--Good Boy, a movie about dogs. I think it's something about a planet of dogs and they come to earth and can talk to this boy. I'm not really sure. It sounded like Mathew Brodderick voicing the lead dog. I don't know, probably not one I'll see.
--There was another Ben Stiller and Jack Black one that I can't remember the name of that looked pretty dumb. It involved Jack Black inventing a way to vanish dog poo (VaPOOrize) and getting obnoxiously rich.
And I also saw the Cat in the Hat preview. I like Mike Meyers but I don't know if I'll see this in theaters. It just seems like not enough plot line to make a whole movie but who knows.
