Yes, it is June and I am posting about movies I saw as far back as January. Trying to get caught up this weekend! We shall see…

This wasn’t much of a movie, I was really surprised to see it up for awards. Sure, Angelina was pretty and Depp played befuddled nicely… But the twist at the end was SO OBVIOUS and there wasn’t all that much that was very interesting about it. I’d see it for free, on a plane maybe. But I wouldn’t go out of my way. I certainly wouldn’t pay $ for the DVD.

I had just watched 1-6 on DVD as I had only seen the first couple long ago… I thought this was by far the best film. But it is also the one I wasn’t quilting through the watching of, so… I liked when they were out camping on their own.

Some derivative moments though. Maybe it’s the movies moreso than the book, but there were so many times when all I could think about was Lord of the Rings.

I still prefer the Pullman books (His Dark Materials trilogy) to these, as I have all along– especially after watching these movies. These are entertaining, but seem much more formulaic to me and the story/ideas/execution seem less original than Pullman.
