2134 at the Movies

Summer movie season is here, so forward my mail to my local cinema, because I'm going to be losing myself in air-conditioned Hollywood magic for the next three months—especially since there's nothing on TV but reruns and second-string reality series. So, grab some popcorn, pull down a center seat, and dim the lights, because my annual guide to the hottest summer movie tickets is here!

So... Robin Hood starring Russell 'Irishman' Crowe and Cate 'English Rose' Blanchett. This film was so enthralling my mate Ted fell asleep halfway through! This was the worst time for him to catch some Zzzzs as the best part of the film was at the end for the Final Battle scene which was visually stunning- the presicion of the shot was truly breathtaking. I also appreciated Rdley Scott not using CGI or 3D gimickry just some good old action scenes from Crowe and Co.

Unfortunately I think the dull story and the wooden acting let this film down as the plot meandered and lolloped on and just seemed to go on for too long, (see why Ted fell asleep now!) and it was in no way true to life, I mean Robin Hood and his merry men fighting for the King of England in France? and what happened to the Robin Hood theme tune- you know the one about Robin Hood riding through the Glen with his band of merry men.

Compared to the other films being released, if you are looking for something with substance go see it. If you just want to stimulate the economy and don't care for sensibilty - you have an abundance to choose from. I suggest The Killers or wait for Toy Story 3 to come out...
