Jacquie and I sat down to watch Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle last night. While I thought the first one was okay, this one had some serious script and directorial (not to mention to acting) problems. The story was quite choppy and made little sense. Some characters seemed to exist for no reason whatsoever (i.e. the return of Crispin Glover's character from the first movie). The acting went from bad to terrible at times (except John Cleese always kicks ass, even when handed a bad script--Monty Python forever!), and the entire movie came off as more of a spoof of action movies than as an actual action movie (even moreso than the first flick). And after about the thirtieth '80s tune, I really wanted to curl up and die (enough with the nostalgia stuff, please!). The '80s turnes were probably just fine as far as Jacquie was concerned, though. Of course, labelling Bon Jovi as heavy metal in the course of the movie was enough to make even her gag.

Maybe we'll watch Pirates of the Caribbean tonight. While I thought it was a half-decent movie when we saw it in the theatres, I'm kind of looking forward to seeing it again. Aside from Johnny Depp's character, Pirates also had...uh...uh...Keira Knightley? ;)
