A quickie!
I've been on a movie-seeing jag of late, so here are my suggestions:
CLICK - I know, a lot of people aren't into Adam Sandler. But when you involve Christopher Walken as a nutty scientist, and Julie Kavner and Henry Winkler as his parents, you've just got to suck it up and go. Go ahead, laugh. It's dark in the theater and no one will know it's you having a good time at an Adam Sandler movie. Mind you, he plays the same guy in every movie, but is still loveable.
NACHO LIBRE - I was hoping for School of Rock set in Mexico. Instead, I got a bad taste in my mouth that smacked of Taco Bell and sweat socks. Just not very funny, not many people laughing, and when I did laugh, it was more like something I just faked. Don't even see this on DVD when it comes out (and it should shortly).
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA - Aww, The Princess Diaries grows up, goes to the big bad city, and triumphs. Still, I truly enjoyed seeing Meryl Streep at her wickedest. Anne Hathaway couldn't be ugly if you beat her with a stick, but she plays the ingenue quite well with a gorgeous smile. Girls will enjoy this, guys will probably want to skip it.
PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST - Well thank god there's a chest in this movie. It was the only thing I sort of understood in the whole plot. Then again, it was wonderful to see Johnny Depp being all dirty and sexy. Mmm, Johnny Depp. (drools) Where was I? Oh yeah, you might want to study up on your pirate lore because I had no idea what the whole story was behind Davey Jones and his curse. I know it wasn't the former Monkee's bad hair situation. Anyways, it was enjoyable and grotesque, a little something for everyone. Especially Johnny Deppaholics!

I really liked Devil.... Meryl Streep is awesome! And the Pirate movie was fun even if I had no idea what was going on. But I didn't care. The ghost ship and all it's occupants are great! A fun, silly movie.
