Robin Hood

Well, it's tough when there is not a good movie to see, and you're not in the mood to be adventurous, sooo my husband and I talked ourselves into seeing Robin Hood, starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett. I'm not a big fan of Crowe, but simply love Cate Blancett ever since the movie "Elizabeth." When the choices at our local theater is "Furry Vengeance," "How to Train Your Dragon," or "MacGruber" and "Shrek" it's a no a brainer.

The scenery was what you'd expect in an epic movie like that, but I would get more satisfaction on our car rides through Goodrich or Holly. The two and a half hour flick was an hour was way too long. And the romance between Crowe and Blancett were just an afterthought, merely snipets probably pasted together from the cutting room floor.

I have no idea what the producers were thinking when they put this gem onto the big screen-it was definitely was thin on plot, not to mention it appeared to be haphazardly pieced together. What they were betting on, was throwing a few big names together, a few underwhelming fight scenes, and throw a team of horses storming through big screen. As you can probably figure, I'd wait for it to come out on dvd.

Just some personal advice to Russ, I think you'd benefit from a speech coach. All through the movie, you'd here couples whispering, "What he say?"

The high point in our (my) movie experience, was when my husband was fiddling with his wedding band, and DING! We looked at each other,and he knew what he had to do. My look spoke volumes, he didn't even ask. He was going to brave it alone. It landed on the sugary sticky floor and he reluctantly had to feel around through the globby mess of half-eaten popcorn, and melted chocolate goobers.

Speaking about unsanitary places, I hope all you movie goers bring a pocket size purrell with you. Can you imagine the germs that lurk on the railings and cup holder?

Yuck!
