We really only watched two new movies this weekend, and both were really good.
The Aviator – B I’ve seen Catch Me If You Can so many times I kept expecting Tom Hanks to jump out and arrest Leonardo DiCaprio and accuse him of being Frank Abagnale. Once I got over that, I could sit and enjoy the movie. I liked it a lot, and it was especially interesting to see Howard Hughes go from genius to incapacitated by OCD. Cate Blanchett was great as Katharin Hepburn.
Team America World Police – A Puppet sex is one of the funniest things ever filmed, and the rest of the movie is great, too. Team America isn’t quite to the level of South Park, Bigger, Longer, Uncut, but it comes close. The music is good, the portrayal of naïve far-left Hollywood actors is dead-on accurate (especially the lying sack of shit Michael Moore portrayed as an extremely fat suicide bomber), and the use of puppets brought back fond memories of TV shows I used to watch as a kid. Trey Parker and Matt Stone show once again that they can equally offend both the far right and the far left. And now I can’t get Team America’s theme song out of my head.
