Why is it that Zorro is such a good swordsman but cannot stab anyone?
Anyway, just saw V for Vendetta and Pink Panther. Both good movies and worth watching.

Originally posted by Patrick: I saw V for Vendetta (McTeigue/2006) tonight. Terrific fucking movie. I strongly recommend. I can't wait to see it on Tuesday! Memoirs of A Geisha *** The movie seemed to go by faster the 2nd time around but just as enjoyable. Very enjoyable performances by Ziyi Zhang, Ken Watanabe, Gong Li and Michelle Yeoh.

Awesome performances by both Ms. Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving. Another anticipated DVD and I'll probably have to see it again in the thearters. Like Sin City from last year, GO SEE THIS MOVIE IN THEATHERS!

Inside Man (2006/Spike Lee)
A cop has to talk down a bank robber after the criminal's perfect heist spirals into a hostage situation.
Starring: Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, Christopher Plummer, Willam Dafoe
Well I was pretty excited to make my first trip to the movie theater this year, to see my 3rd Spike Lee film (after 25th Hour and Jungle Fever). This film, despite solid performances from all of its principal cast, ultimately faltered and held no remnance of the Spike Lee style I've heard of. Denzel was his usual self, Jodie Foster was good, and Clive Owen was solid in what I feel like is probably the first film I've seen him in (maybe). The tricky plot seemed a little too complicated for its own good at times, like Lee was hurting the film as a whole by trying to make the story really complex.
The biggest flaw in this film was the music, which was a mix of misplaced indian themes and cliched action movie music. I was also kind of tired of the twisty camera work at the end. In this day and age, doing a two-minute tracking shot isn't so spectacular anymore, and Lee must've tried it like 10 times. Also, I don't know what Willem Dafoe was doing here, playing just another NYC cop. His talents seemed vastly underused.
Ultimately, a solid if not unremarkable film from a director who could do much better.
3/5 Stars
I dream in widescreen.
