vendredi, octobre 29, 2004 Twas a good night. Had a really great dinner with a good friend whom I can always trust to match me word-for-word in a verbal sparring match (sometimes even graciously letting me win just so that I can feel like I bested a guy), then watched Ladder 49, which I swear is a chick flick masquerading as an action movie.There's nothing much to say about >Ladder 49. It doesn't really have a compelling storyline, the guy (Joaquin Pheonix) is a little too chunky for my liking, boring "Alex" from Gilmore Girls made an appearance, as did Sam Phillips' "Dream" (recurring music theme from Gilmore Girls), and Mulder-replacement Robert "Terminator II" Patrick. There's a rather bizzare sequence in the movie where I turned to him and asked "Since when did this become a horror movie?", because it really looked like The Exorcist or Carrie. The acting left a lot to be desired too - make me believe that these two are in love? Okay. But their interaction with "their" kids? Horrible. Felt like they were total strangers. Verdict - don't bother. Unless you're a John Travolta fan (which I am), and his scenes pretty much make up for the blahness.Or if you really like the fire department. [Movies: Ladder 49] |
