Ah, yes, tis movie review day.

Saw Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail last Friday. It was... unfunny. I think it was because I've heard it quoted so many times, and was so familiar with it even to the point of having heard sound clips, seen clips/parodies/allusions to it/read scripts of some of the skits/seen the trailer. The few skits that were totally unfamiliar to me were fairly amusing, but the other ones weren't funny so much as random. It was really prettily filmed though with an awesome score and at times I even regretted all the jokes and such getting in the way of what would otherwise be an awesome medieval film.

Nonetheless, I want some coconuts.

Saw the Count of Monte Cristo over the weekend on DVD, and it's a kickass movie. I thought it would be crappy, but it wasn't. Oooh. James Caveizel is hot. Yay. Also starring Guy Pearce and the now late Richard Harris. :( They're all excellent actors except for that guy who plays Denglars who can't seem to do anything but scowl a lot and ham it up. You all need to watch it so that I can make fun of it with you. Well, watch it once in English, then watch it again in French with English subtitles. Try to figure out rational explanations for Alexander Dumas' ridiculous plotline. Go. Amuse yourself. But not in that way, Alex.
