Big Screen: Clash of the Titans (3D)

Soooo hilariously cheesetastic. One of those movies where you’re laughing at stuff that the movie seems to want you to take seriously but it’s such bad dialogue that there’s just no way to hold your giggles in. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes had particularly cheesalicious hilarious lines.

The 3D didn’t look that great to me and honestly during really fast action scenes = it loses all effectiveness.

The only two not horribly ridiculous things about this movie?

a) Sam Worthington. Nom. So earnest.

b) Mads Mikkelson. Nommity nom nom. I have been a fan of his since he played Tristan in that also-not-very-good, but better-than-this 2004 King Arthur movie (Clive Owen / Keira Knightley)–but most of you probably know him as one of the villains in the last two James Bond movies. He’s fantastic. Dear US Movie Producers, GIVE HIM MORE WORK. KTHXBAI.

À la Nick Hornby, books in/books out for April.
