when headlines fade..

thank god that month was over, damn! i came from a hella ride last weekend to shitty, sickly weekend. thank god again i feel better after i got sick. was absent for 2 days, but i honestly don't care. health is wealth bitches! after the doc's confirmation that i'm ok, i saw Salt and The Last AirBender this weekend. for Salt, the movie was jam-packed with over-the-top, almost superhero-ish action rather than the Bourne~style, basically grounded in reality action. maybe a little more time spent on character development and a little less time spent showing what a bad-ass Angelina Jolie by way of totally unbelievable stunts would have helped immensely. for The Last AirBender, eventhough im not a huge fan of its anime version, you’ll have to endure a lot of M. Night Shyamalan missteps lol if you’re able to get past M. Night failings as a writer, this is an achingly beautiful film full of stunning special effects, driven by a powerful score & based on material so good that even the worst script of the year couldn’t entirely ruin it. it’s worth putting up with M. Night the writer to enjoy the work of M. Night the director.
