Movies
We watched 3 movies over Yom Kippur.
Angels and Demons:
I wanted to see this because I rather enjoyed the De Vinci code, this time the plot takes place in Rome and in the Vatican. I quite enjoyed it. Good acting. I’m rather amazed how an Israeli actress found her way into a movie with such big names as Ewan McGregor and Tom Hanks. Of course Ewan dressed as a priest still looks like Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Also, it’s an added bonus to see places you have seen for your self in real life, as we honeymooned in Italy. The movie does display a lot of what is so fantastic about Rome.
The Israeli actress was okay, but nothing out of the ordinary…I think she must have been cast for this role because she can come over as an Italian. I’m pretty sure she didn’t keep up with the accent she started of with in the movie…but hey, she’s done more in life then I have, so way to go Ayelet Zurer…of course that isn’t saying much…most people have.
My husband chose the following movies:
Clash of the Titans:
My husband chose this because it has the same actor as in Avatar and he figured he did a pretty good job in Avatar. I’m happy to say the movie didn’t have many ugly gory scenes as I’d expect just by looking at the cover and in fact it made me want to read and know more about Greek methology since I don’t really know much about it.
Surrogates:
Bruce Willis once again, surviving against the odds ;-P
Seriously now, this is a SciFi gener, I felt the script was a bit weak, though it was okay. I was happy with the ending.
Whilst today we do not have this technology, I personally hope we don’t get to that stage, because it’s rather sad. Its bad enough we spend so many hours in front of the computer, in my mind this is just the next step.
Prescious:
We rented and watched it a few weeks ago. It’s a very good movie, not easy to watch some of the parts.
Hard to understand how a pareant could do that. I just hope it’s not based on a true story.
