Well, after saying that I was done with reviews, people have been asking for them. And seen as I don’t write entirely for myself, why the heck not.
OK. Scoop. Woody Allen has presented us with something like a romantic comedy wrapped in a murder mystery. Think, Scooby Doo with less… well, less everything.
And while we’re on the subject… anyone else noticehow much “Scooby Doo” sounds like “Nancy Drew”? Perhaps the cartoon was something of a dogwhistle? Heh. Dogwhistle.
You might notice that i’m veering off on a tangent. That’s because it’s more interesting that the film.
But, go if you’d like to see Scarlett Johansen in a Sexy Drown Watch Baywatch swimsuit.

supervery:
Different strokes for different folks, I guess. When I’m bored by a film that contains Bill Nighy, Geoffrey Rush, Johnny Depp, and Chow Yun-Fat (I am not worthy…) – oy and vey. It’s at least an hour and a half too long, the script is incoherent and the FX/action set pieces are too boring to compensate. Anyone who has access to a decent DVD store, please make a double bill of the gorgeous Errol Flynn swashbucklers Captain Blood and The Sea Hawk – both directed by the under-rated Michael Curtiz.

Oh, and another PoTC3 linked trivia question: Which film lovers display so little chemistry you come to suspect one or both of these folks are gay?
a) Scarlett and Hugh (Scoop)
b) Orlando and Keira (PoTC3)
c) Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst (Spiderman 3)
d) All of the above.
e) Don’t know/unsure, but a vow of celibacy is looking mighty attractive.

ummm… where to start.
just haven’t had a chance to see pirates, and not planning to. well, maybe. dunno.
i think the best pirate film i’ve seen was a black and white from the 1930s. this guy escapes from pirates and is hidden by a friendly hamlet.
they end up defeating the pirates with dance.
which about says it all really.
