Miscellaneous Movie Musings

We saw Over the Hedge last night. It was cute. I did realize why I prefer matinees, between the ticket prices and the crowded theater...

There were 4 people "holding" 2 entire rows of prime seating. It was a very full theater. I found this incredibly rude. It is one thing to hold a seat while someone hits the concession stand, but don't hold 2 rows of seats on a Saturday night. The majority of the group didn't even show up!!

Saw X-3 over the weekend. I enjoyed it as a fun action flick that just happened to feature comic characters, but as an overall film not so much. There was just something missing, and I can't fully put my finger on what that something was. Most conversations I've seen about the film have been dominated by the uber comic book geeks whining about all the inconsistencies between the film and the comics, but that wasn't what was wrong for me. In general I felt like they were trying a little bit too hard to "end" the franchise. Of course now that the film has made so much money, they'll be coming up with same lame ways to undo some of what they did in this one.
