A Couple More!

Okay... saw a few more recently released films (actually one I just forgot...) and here are my thoughts!

National Treasure... A great action/adventure film, that is CLEAN!!! For once! It has a thrilling storyline (which can be annoying, although I didn't mind it that much) and it sometimes takes small leaps in logic, but it is quickly paced, well acted for what it is, and great fun! It also has some interesting history (not the main storyline, but other comments around the story). I would recommend this to anyone!

Oceans 12... I really enjoyed this. I think Roger Eberts assesment is correct, that this isn't so much a heist movie as it is a riff on a hiest movie. Kind of like in jazz, when you can hear how the melody might go, but the notes being played aren't the melody. The cast is great, acts cool, they put in alot of in jokes, cool cameos, funny dialogue, and everyone looks great! Oh, and there is a story, but again, it isn't as important:) I really liked this one, and will probably see it again!

Okay... I think that covers it. Heading out to see Phantom sometime this weekend, so I shall let you know my thoughts!

Oh, and check out Rush Limbaugh's website and pick your favorite Liberal scream to replay:) My personal favorite is still Howard Dean, but I have to admit that Ted Kennedy's is pretty funny. Especially if you listen carefully, and realize that by the end he is literally saying somehting like "au ghsyhoug ughh...":)
