Dr. Monkey's Double Dose of Cinema

I saw this the other day:
And as much as it pains me to say anything bad about a Reece Witherspoon film, avoid this one. It was long, dull, and lifeless. Sure Reece was cute in it and boy do her boobs look good all pushed up and out but they could not save this movie. Neither could the Irish gal who was in I Capture the Castle. I was sorely unimpressed with this film and with Mira Nair's direction of it.

I saw this the other night:
Yes, I love Rachel Weisz and yes, I like Hugh Jackman, but did I like this movie? Oh hell to the no. It was one hundred and thirty six minutes of earth tones, extreme close ups, and people emoting all over the freakin' place. Ick, ick, ick. Hugh slays people, does bold lab research, and eats tree bark while living in a snow globe, Rachel slinks around looking hot, looking sick, and looking hot while she's sick, other people do some pointless shit, and Rachel's real life husband films it all. Hey you people who made this film, I want that hour and a half of my life back you pretentious bastards.

I saw both of these movies on the free HBO/Cinemax channels we've been getting for the past six months, so at least I didn't waste any of my filthy lucre on them like I had planned to do. So suck it Blockbuster, that ten of my dollars you didn't get for two long films that weren't very good at all.
