Movie Review #1

I finally got out to the theatre last night. It's been awhile, so I didn't really care what I saw. I went with my PP and her roommate to the theatre in Ft. Wayne to see "The Legend of Zorro." On our way to the movie, I had to warn my PP's roommate that when the lights go out in the theatre that I tend to have wandering hands...but she didn't seem to care. I figured after that, she would make my PP sit next to me. Also, my PP and I both laugh very loudly during movies...which we have found out after going to see several funny movies. When we got into the theatre, it ended up that the roommate sat in the middle between me and my PP...which meant that the roommate got all commentary and laughing in stereo! It was quite a fun night out with the girls, even though we all had to be home early because of early days today.

Overall, the movie was entertaining. The action scenes were good, the plot was boilerplate (which is fine). You pretty much know what to expect from the movie going in, and it didn't disappoint It was funny, and Catherine Zeta-Jones wore very...ummmm, tight outfits that were very appealing. Although she and Antonio Banderas are getting a bit old to be playing action roles, they kinda made that part of the script/plot. The music was fun too. Everyone left with a smile on their face. While it was fine seeing it on the big screen, this definately isn't a must-see on the big screen, but would be a great rental. Also, it's great for kids because there is no swearing and in all the fight scenes there is no one actually killed (by stabbing, shooting, or anything like that)...but there is simulated death (in which you know the person dies, but it is not shown).

I give it a 3 out of 5.

On a side not, I was very amused on the drive home because both my PP and her roommate are very attractive, and there was a car full of immature guys that pulled up to us at a stoplight and were hoopin' and hollerin' at the girls and probably making some inappropriate comments, so the roommate rolled down the window and told them "why don't you dial 1-900-UR going home alone tonight"...funny stuff!

Cheers!
