Just got home from a wonderful night out with Blondie, Wifey and Ed. We had amazing pupusas & home made vegan cake. Delish. Then we went to see Dark Shadows.
Amazing. Can Johnny Depp do no wrong? It certainly seems that way. Dark Shadows is a cooky movie that could have quickly turned bad had it not been set mainly in the 70's. Well, 1971, maybe '71, no 1972! The cast was amazing, no complaints whatsoever about anyone, and I believe that's a first for me. The script was genius, maybe a bit too serious for anyone looking for a comedic movie throughout. Don't get me wrong, there's side-splitting moments, but the main theme is love. And love is a serious matter.
You'll come out of the theater with an array of new catch-phrases and believe me reader, you shall catch yourself conversing in the Queen's.. Old English! Do watch Dark Shadows for your own and write me a line if you wish to add your thoughts. Oy, I can't carry that shit on for too long. Go watch it.
p.s. Ok, I think I've just remembered one or two things that bugged me. These are minor things that just barely make a dent in an otherwise flawless movie. 1. Chloe Grace Moretz character is an annoying teen and Ms. Moretz plays the part beautifully, if maybe a little too convincing. I really didn't like her angtsy scenes, but all of that is explained. 2. Towards the end, Angie explains certain things too quickly, as if they didn't matter, or as if things should have been extremely obvious and she just stepped from behind a curtain to say, "Well duh!" Those are my two only complaints. I still give this movie a 5*.
