40Cent @ the movies

The Mrs. took me to see Mirror, Mirror last night. It's the one where Horseface plays the evil queen. I hate to admit it, but it really is quite good overall. It was funny and scary (but not too scary) and a pretty interesting slant on the classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs story.

^ Thanks for the mini-review. I'm hoping to go see it with a friend tonight.

I thought that was Sarah Jessica Parker, not Julia Roberts...?

I call SJP "Horseface Jr.". Really she's more of a pony compared to Julia Roberts.

I hope that you enjoy it. It's better to have low expectations though.

She really is a "horseface." I could never understand why people find her attractive........

Her body double in Pretty Woman was hot.

And I don't understand why so many find her to be ugly. Not that I think she's beautiful, but neither do I find her painful to look at.

I'm guessing it perhaps has something to do her mouth? I know people have commented on it in the past.

She's only "ugly" in comparison to other Hollywood actresses.

Compared to the soccer moms on my street, she's average.

I think that's part of her allure. In the right light she can look very attractive.

Besides, it's not always what you've got, it's how you use it that counts.

Last the Mrs dragged me to see American Reunion, the latest in the 'American Pie' series of flicks. This was the 1st one that I've seen in the theatre and the 1st one that I've seen start-to-finish.

Let me begin with the positive. There are lots of hot chicks in this movie.

That is all.

I watched The Red Baron (2010 starring Matthias Schweighofer et al).

Loved it.

A historical biography of the man himself. Has a bit of a love story woven into it but mostly focuses on his time during the war. I've not read any biographies of him so I cannot speak to the authenticity, but it appeared to have been peppered with believable fact.

It's worth watching just to see the air combat - probably the best movie to have dozens of WWI aircraft zooming across the screen - all historically rendered.

If you're a WWI buff (Gus, I'm looking at you) this is a must-see.

I have it in my netflix queue as well. IIRC it was released in Germany first and then distributed in the USA later. Maybe that screwed up the release year credits.

Could be. Time to stop putting it off. I really liked it.

Just watched the first hour, will finish it after dinner and kids put to bed. Really like it...there are a few tinny performances and some cars that shouldn't be in a movie about the Red Baron, but it's hard not to fall in love with the planes.

And also...LB failed to mention this...but Lena Headey is the romantic lead! WOWSERS.

I didn't know who she was but she def caught my eye. Wait until she starts lounging around in her PJs. You can thank me later.
