+ This Summer....... +
This summer has one of the best line-up of movies in a loong time... Kingdom of Heaven was superb, it ain't no Gladiator, but hey, there can only be 1 Gladiator. I say the siege of Jerusalem beats the siege scenes at Helm's Deep any day. The LOTR shocker had pro-skating Elves, Olympic Orc Runners and short jokes aimed at Dwarves (how cheap-shot is that?).... no such shit with Kingdom of Heaven, people... Some say Mr. Bloom looks kinda boyish to be leading the army of Jerusalem, but consider this... he has to play a naive knight who would let a Saracen army rampage thru the holy land rather than kill the heir to the throne (who has a nasty habit of provoking them), thereby not compromising on honour. "Jerusalem doesn't need a perfect knight" well said, it would have saved a lot of trouble if he'd just kill the heir and marry the king's sister. Hell, even the king gave a thumbs up... but nooo... pussyboy refused to do evil for the greater good. If Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp were in his shoes, you'd half expect him to just quarter the bugger, screw the king's sister, seize the throne, and start auditions for applicants to join the royal harem.   Episode 3 was a blast. Easily the best of the Star Wars saga... pacing was just plain intense... all the loose ends were tied up... a highly satisfying end to the trilogy. Everybody knows whats gonna happen, but that doesn't make a speck of difference. The good stuff doesn't end here... check out the other blockbusters waiting in line. Sin City War of the Worlds Batman Begins Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Madagascar (does this count??) Cheers moviebuffs! *Raises wine glass* You will find me in the matinee The dark of the matinee It's better in the matinee The dark of the matinee is mine Yes it's miiiiiine -Franz Ferdinand "The Dark of the Matinee"
