Movies

[plural]

so

I got around to watching 300
the other day

I meant to post about it earlier
but I've been
well

pleasantly occupied

quite frankly
it was rather bored by it

I could babble about this or that
aspect
cinematography or style
et cetera et cetera

but the tale simply failed to grip me
in any way whatsoever

on the contrary

I watched stranger than fiction
[spoilers below]
tonight
not expecting much
and
found myself riveted
as it neared the end
I found myself dreading the possibility
that harold crick would somehow survive

I feared the cop out
the softening of the blow
a shirking from tragedy
a tacked on
misshapen happy ending

but
while the ending
held a secret or two
which I did not expect
I found it easily
one of the better movies
I've seen in some time

well, now I don't feel so bad about falling asleep during 300. ;)
