"The Golden Compass"-
Ok. It was a long movie, however, I liked it (in a non-conventional way). I liked the Narnia movies too, though. I read all "The Chronicles Of Narnia" books when I was younger, but I hated the cartoon version they had out. So, I never went to the movies to see it. I hate really long movies that I know children will be at. I know if I'm 31 and I get antsy and fidget.... a kid definitely will. Nicole Kidman's non-moving, botoxed to the high heavens, face was really scary!!!! I loved the little girl, Liira, and the fact that she is going to be the hero. The ending was such a "Back to the Future II" ending.... you know it led you right to the next step... than BOOM... to be continued. UGH... I hate that!!!! Suspense is so awful. I'm an instant gratification kind of person in these cases. Now, I have to wait for the sequel… whenever that will be. I like movies that stimulate the imagination here and there. I'm still not over Nicole Kidman's face, man. Botox is stupid for actors. Isn't the emotion supposed to show in your face??? Hello?? I really like her too, but the no wrinkle forehead is creepy. Jeez.... what ever happened to growing old gracefully?
Not to get too dishy but I've down on Nicole Kidman ever since she stopped being a curly redhead. Eyes Wide Shut, a horribly underrated film is probably the last one she looked really herself in. Maybe that mail order bride one too.
ReplyDeleteAnyways I really liked the Golden Compass movie, battle bears and all. It's a shame it failed to do enough box-office to produce the sequels. IIRC the Catholic Church came out against the movie on the grounds it was mocking them by proxy.
