Over the past week Mindy and I have watched a few movies on pay-per-view at home. Direct TV sent us coupons for two free movies a month for the next year so we have a relatively narrow group to select from each month.
One choice made was "The Number 23". I would probably never have paid to see this film but some aspects of what I imagined the plot to be seemed interesting enough to burn a free coupon on. Well...as it turns out, it was not even worth the free coupon. The story was ridiculous, the acting terrible and only reason we stuck it out to the end was we were curious just how bad it could get. I cannot imagine how anyone would find this movie enjoyable on any level, in fact, we were both stunned that it was even made. If you have not seen it, don't bother and if you have, and actually liked it, please let me know what it was about the movie that you enjoyed. Perhaps we both missed something, but overall, it was one of the worst movies I think I have ever seen, which puts it right up there with "Face Off" and "Ghost Dad".
Last night we watched "Apocalypto". This was very enjoyable I thought. Essentially, it is two hours of action, tension and gore. Mel Gibson might be a crazy, alcoholic bigot but he sure knows how to film an action sequence. The violence is quite graphic and horrific so don't expect to be treated to a nice film about Mayans in the jungle. It was somewhat long (about 2.5 hours) but I did not feel this while watching...I enjoyed every minute. Certainly worth a look.
