Back to the movie reviews... because I have nothing else to post about.
Well, my normal movie viewing company is a state away, so I had to make due with what I had around here... Not quite the same, however. Anywho, this is certainly one worth watching. I remember seeing this movie before, however, when it was called "Backdraft." I digress, Juaquin Phoenix is certainly proving himself to be quite the versatile actor, but he'll always be Emporer Comedus to me, and Russell Crowe will still be kicking his ass. The special effects are awesome, the plot draws you in almost immediately, and if I didn't have to pay 7.25 to watch a movie on a wall the size of a standard four person dwelling it would have been quite a worthwhile experience. I was particularly interested in the musical score, which seems to be a problem with movies these days. It seemed quite original, and not recycled as most action movies are. Furthermore, it seemed to be mostly Irish in inspriration. (Seashell, you'll have to see this one for the soundtrack alone.)
I won't give away the ending, but it will give you a booster shot of respect for our public servants. I know I'll be dropping a few bucks into the boot next time the SFD is sitting by the stoplight. And with that, I must retire.
Anyone figured out that space time continuum thing yet?
