Review Time

This last week I've watched three movies that I had not prior. The first was Casino Royale, which was actually a good flick. I liked that it kind of relaunched Bond. No fancy gadgets, just good action. I think that Craig made a good Bond. I give it a 3 out of 4 stars. That being said, I also watched Quantum of Solace. This one..not so good. I didn't think it stood very well on it's own. I think if they wanted to do this movie, it should have been just an additional hour at the end of Casino Royale. 2 out of 4. Which brings me to the final movie..Twilight. You know, I'm not sure about this movie. I didn't hate it, but I felt it lacked in some areas. I thought Bella's character came across a little flat and I didn't think that James had enough screen time to make him stand out as a good villain. That being said, with the budget what it was and the flatness of some of the acting, I didn't think it was a bad movie. Trust me, I've seen some bad movies...Cloverfield anyone? I also wanted to point out that I have not read the books either, so maybe that helped a little. So, I give it 2 1/2 out of 4. Next, I plan on watching Bolt and Madagascar 2. Hopefully they won't disappoint. 

On a side note, I recently went to the musical Avenue Q. This was a great show. If you haven't seen it and it's coming to your town, go see it. What's not to love? Foul mouthed, vulgar puppets singing about life, love, and porn. Seriously though, it was really good. I really want to see Wicked in May, but I don't think I'm going to be able to this time around. Well, until next time.
