Movie Reviews - Episode V

Not sure why, but there seems to always be a general theme around my last couple of movie reviews. Here's my latest watery (groan) batch:

• Finding Nemo - Finally got around to finishing this one off. Tried watching this with my niece when it first came out, but with her short attention span I never quite got past the beginning. Quite entertaining and the Pixar folks really made it feel like it took place in the coral and oceans, unlike Shark Tale.
• Ocean's 12 - Yeah, this one's kind of a stretch to the theme, but it was a good popcorn movie. A fun ride, but when it's over, there's not much that I recollect. The skip-thru laser scene was a total ripoff off Entrapment and I definitely prefer (pre-Douglas) Zeta-Jones. Heck, even Britney Spear did it better in one of her music videos.
  
• The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou - The latest creation from the mind of Wes Anderson. You really have to be able to appreciate the dry (pun intended) humour in order to sit through this one. A lot of visual gags against the straight lines delivered by the talented cast. Did Cate Blanchett just use her Kate Hepburn persona from The Aviator, but without the zany accent?
  

Sorry for the lack of posts, but I do have three big blogs coming out soon. One of my recent string of concerts, another that wraps up the TV season, and finally another one of some movie that comes out this Thursday. So check back soon, ya hear?
