More delays!!

Well after having to reload Windows AGAIN (long story that I don’t want to get into), and getting to reload all of my programs AGAIN, I am finally back online and writing on my blog again. So let’s get right to it!!

So I didn’t get a chance to see The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (it’s hard to believe that the same man who brought us Sin City and Desperado is also the creative force behind this movie and the Spy Kids trilogy). But somehow I’m thinking that’s not the end of the world. I’m sure I’ll get around to seeing it eventually. What I did see, however, was Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and I have to say, damn that’s a great movie!! As a matter of fact, since it’s still at the theater, I might just have to go see it again tomorrow (either that, or I’m going to see Wes Craven’s new flick Red Eye).

Okay, I’ll get it out of the way – Angelina Jolie is amazingly, unbelievably hot! And she has the sexiest, most kissable lips of any woman I’ve ever seen. On top of that, she is an incredibly talented actress. She is wonderful in this movie, as is Brad Pitt (not surprising, though – I have yet to see Brad Pitt in any movie that he wasn’t great in). And the chemistry between them really heats up the screen, and makes the movie that much more enjoyable. Of course this leads a lot of people to want to talk about her breaking up Brad Pitt’s marriage, but personally I really couldn’t care less one way or the other (but I must say I’d take Angelina Jolie over Jennifer Aniston in a heartbeat!).

The first thing I have to say about this movie is that it is surprisingly funny. It’s much more of an action comedy than a straight action movie, something I wasn’t expecting. From the very opening scene with Brad and Angelina talking to a marriage counselor, the movie has you laughing. Another thing the movie does that I like that I haven’t seen very often in the past is that several of the scenes in the trailer are actually different from the scenes that are in the actual movie, so some of the things you expect to see from the trailers end up being a little different when you actually see them in the movie. Which is a nice change of pace when so many movies are ruined by horribly put together trailers that give away entirely too much of the plot of the film (not that the final trailer for this movie doesn't give away a little more than I would have liked, mind you).

The action in this movie is top notch, the comedy really adds to the film, the dialogue – especially the back and forth between Brad and Angelina – is great. And Vince Vaughn is great as always (but I’ve been a fan of his for a while now). If you want to see a funny, thrilling, action-packed, all-around kick ass movie, this one fits the bill!! Definitely among my top 5 movies of the year so far.
