Movie review time.
Up first the sequel to Kevin Smith's break out hit Clerks. Clerks 2. As someone who highly enjoyed the first one I must say this one did a pretty good job of keeping up the theme of 2 slackers who are going nowhere. First the bad: It is a lot more vulgar and raunchy than the first one and it does make fun of Christians which I was highly offended by. It had some drug content and some....how should I put it Interspecies erotica which I could of done without. Wihtout giving away too much it more or less goes full circle with the last one. Now the good: Hilarity ensues when Dante is being taught to dance and everyone breaks out into ABC by Jackson 5. This one filmed in mostly color which gave it a new feeling while yet staying true to the films roots. Overall I give it an 8/10 seems kinda high with the offensive content but despite it I did enjoy this film very much.
Next up The Hills Have Eyes re-make. Nothing but negative stuff here. I was forced to watch this one. Too boring in many parts. Too gory and I have a strong stomach. and the ending left nothing to be desired. When I watch a movie I like some resolution to at least part of the main conflict. This film had none and I hated it all the more for it. Last but not least too predictable. Within 10 min. of watching I pretty much knew who was gonna live and who was gonna die. Overall 2/10
I did also see POTC2. 7/10. A bit too dark. However a lot of action and the set up for 3 was awesome.
