   Eeeeeh-villll computer.
Yeah, it keeps eating my comments and things like that. Grarl. *threatens it with Nebmuffid* Okay, I would have killed it by now, but... I'm still visiting relatives, and it's a rather shiny, flat-screened monitor, and I really don't want to break it.

Yeah, aside from the shiny monitor, it's slower than heck.

Anyway... movie review time! O.O; Yeah, I actually went to see a movie. Went from one dungeon to another, I suppose... I never go see movies, and I wouldn't have gone to see this one if my brother hadn't dragged me with him.

Anyway, we went to see that one about the british ship that's chasing some french ship. I think it's called Master and Commander, but the name really had nothing to do with the movie, so I don't really remember it. Oh well. Anyway, here goes my review thing!

The technical stuff in the movie was really well-done. The use of the camera angles and lighting to draw attention to certain things was effective, and it worked in such a way that you only noticed things that were intended - there is a certain shot that's done twice; the first time, purposefully so that you miss the topic of the conversation, and the second time so that it's in clear view. I thought the ship was pretty cool, and I'm no expert on 19th century ships, but everything looked pretty well constructed.

As for the plot... it was a little dizzying. It seemed to me like it was just a lot of little side-stories all smushed together; things moved very quickly from one to another and there were so many different topics that everything seemed really disorganized.

Overall, it was entertaining, even if it wasn't entirely captivating. Would I reccomend it? Yeah, go see it, if you don't mind everything being a little disjoint. Would I go see it again? If I had nothing better to do and someone (or several people) to go with, sure.

anyway... going home to my kitty tomorrow! Yea.... =^.^=
