Time to make my thoughts about a few movies known unto the world
The Day After Tomorrow:
While somewhat light on hard-science, I recommend this movie to anyone who has a twinge of environmentalism in 'em and have a dislike for the current Administration. There are some great lines delivered by the movie's Vice President. At one point, some earth shattering news is delivered to the President Bush... um, I mean... oh, I don't know what his name was... but they deliver the bad news and the President looks to the VP and says, "what should be do?" It was a good poke, and the Ballard audience was quite receptive. But like I said, the movie does a good job of paint a worst case scenario in a hope to raise awareness. Reminds me a lot of the movie "The Day After" which was movie about the threat of nuclear war. If you are familiar with the film, you'll notice a lot of similarities between it at The Day After Tomorrow.
Shrek 2:
Great film! Highly recommended if you at all enjoyed the first one. This time around they've added a great new character played by Antonio Banderas. Between the cute jokes for the kids and more advanced humor for the adults, it does a great job balancing the needs of every audience. And, best of all, they sing "Holding Out For A Hero" which was a great song and should be sung at every opportunity.
