| Blow is meh. Seriously, after Requiem for a Dream, is there any other drug movie out there worth watching? They all have the same basic plot: some guy discovers durgs, peddles it, makes some serious bling, operation making too many enemies or things get out of control, spectacular downfall, the end. This movie was ok. Johnny Depp plays a cute guy from Boston who goes to LA in the hippies 60s, lands a local weed distribution gig which soon turns into a national operation of cocaine smuggling from Columbia. Various girls, business partners come in and out of his life, he gets caught a few times, and eventually meets Penelope Cruz's hot Spanish pout, and engages in S&M sex. No, seriously, there's an entire stylistic camera work sequence devoted to illustrating this little, irrelevant factoid. Things take a turn, won't ruin shit for you, predictably sad. True story, apparently. Nothing particularly bad, just predictable rehashing of themes. I like the ending, which probably saved the movie, and bumped my rating to three stars. Alias was pretty ok. I know. Color me shocked. The pretty boy fight was lovely. Vaughn's faux accent was not. No Lauren! Wheeeee! A bunch of things still bothered me: of course no one was going to die. I HATE when they try to create tension that way. I loved Syd's kicky red wig, hated the nose ring. Loved Vaughn's glasses. Loved Sark. Oh, Sark, you're so much hotter just standing there than having sex with Lauren. How is it that David Anders can pull off such a better accent? Sloane and Barnett? EW! In other news: The Apprentice ROCKS. Next week: Return of the Dixon! Yay!! |

alitar | Re:, 03-16-04 3:10pm HAHA. Really, since Alias has gone down the crapper, we should try to enjoy the view. Now if Sark would just buff up so we can enjoy him naked, all the better for Tim and me. |
