The Three Musketeers (2011)
outrageous, cheesy Pirates..Caribbean wannabe sorta FUN
CHEESY, tongue-in-cheek remake of the Alexander Dumas classic with outlandish modern twists thrown in. ALERT?? For instance, don't think men wore the pompadour quiff in 17th century.:) Obvious screened in scenery. only watched it for Macfadyen who, along with Orlando bloom, isn't even listed as starring. Ageless treasures of mankind are totally DESTROYED in seconds in the name of cool - NOT COOL! NOT FUNNY. Acting was EXCELLENT sword fights too, except for a couple of tired moves. one of many designed to copy the success of pirates..Caribbean. Still the casting was EXCELLENT: MacFadyen wonderful. Jovanovich doing what she does. bloom being pretty. Gabriella Wilde is BEAUTIFUL lady in waiting but star Lerman and she lacks chemistry.Some over-the-top that keeps anyone who knows the story from walking away. As a comic farce of the classic novel, okay movie.
Freezer Burn: The Invasion of Laxdale (2008)
i expected nothing and was totally entertained
I LIKED this movie. it was funny, had GOOD actors; wasn't too long and had a neat Scify plot. Did not insult my intelligence. I usually can'f handle too much Tom Green as he gets a little too nasty-for-the-sake-of-nasty-without-funny for my taste. but he was really good in this. He could so be a good dramatic actor if he wanted to. Hated to see him so old and heavy looking. This was my first time to notice Sarain Boylain, who was superb and should have gotten top billing with tom and Crispin glover. The scenery was good. The special effects were smart. i noticed that they shot some scenes leaving the special effects to one's imagination without actually showing the space technology, relying on the actors to make it work ---and they DO! Plot sounds a little cheesy, but they carry it out very well. Didn't recognize Crispin glover until after i watched it, then went back for another look. He was made for that part. Enjoy!
