MOVIE REVIEWS — Just For Fun
My love for movies took me to see three of ‘em this weekend: “Music & Lyrics” and “Ghost Rider” were two of ‘em.
According to the box office, Nathan and I weren’t the only ones to see “Ghost Rider.” It was the big winner at the box office this weekend. That won’t happen next weekend because the word will get out. Word like THIS word: “Ghost Rider” is stupid and awful. On the other hand, “Music & Lyrics,” a chick-type-flick, was much better than “GR.” It was predictable but cute, funny and enjoyable.
But the real winner was “Letters From Iwo Jima.” Ken Watanabe turns in another awesome performance as the doomed Japanese commander of the Japanese forces on Iwo Jima in WW II. The story is Clint Eastwood’s portrayal of the battle of Iwo Jima (”Flags of Our Fathers”) from the Japanese perspective. Spoken Japanese with English subtitles. I recommend it!
