Evan Almighty
So thursday after an incredible Survivor and a not so great The Office I watched Evan Almighty. It was pretty much what I expected. Good 'ole substance free family comedies. The animal stuff was kind of cool, but looked digitally composited. It's cool that they actually built the ark full size. I guess Steve Carrell has to do a few big movies to keep his schedule open for small independent films. **.
Friday I started the job that I never should have taken. The chair was broken, the computer was old and slow, the footage sucked, and I was just getting an instinctual "get out of here/don't be here" vibe. I talked to the boss about it, she found someone else, so I'm free and unemployed again.
Saturday Brian called me and we went to a $5 matinee of American Gangster. For a 157 minute film it kept my interest and that's a definite plus. Other than that it wasn't was pretty standard and straight forward. I'm so glad they caught him. I loved the end when Frank walks out of church and Richie is just standing there, and you know. But again it was all very standard and straight forward. ***.
After getting home I dawdled about and eventually watched Meet the Robinsons. So disappointing. I guess it's one of those thrown together for a quick buck disney movies. It has cool visuals though. And I can appreciate it in terms of being a this tribute to Walk Disney. The visuals are clearly inspired by the architecture of the Disney Studio. I appreciate that. ***.
Afterwards I had yet another long drawn out confusing online conversation with Sarah that went way too late into the morning. I slept way in, and now I need to go do laundry.
