Various reviews
Sep. 13th, 2003 10:32 amAs my PSA for the day let me say that if you haven't seen Once Upon a Time in Mexico yet and intend to, do not read Ebert's review of the movie. Having seen the film I can say that he includes something in that review which, while not a spoiler in the same way as the ending to Sixth Sense is a spoiler, it's still not a thing you'd want to find out in a movie review.
Beyond that I can recommend the movie. A bit different than Desperado. I had to get used to the fact that it wasn't an El Mariachi movie as much as a movie that had El Mariachi in it (it's an ensemble piece, in other words) but otherwise it was fun and definitely to be recommended. Besides, there's tons of Johnny Depp so that more than evens out the lack of Antonio in every scene.
In other news about fictional things, I'm reading The Devil Wore Prada. I picked it up this week because I had a long hair appointment yesterday and I wanted something totally frivolous to read while I was there. Plus I'd heard that if you liked The Nanny Diaries then you'd like TDWP and I liked TND so there we were.
I didn't get to read as much as I thought I would since I spent a lot of time talking with my hairdresser, but I made it 7 chapters in and I wanted to share my thoughts with anyone else who might have read the book.
( Cut for those who haven't read the book yet and don't want spoilers, even just for the first 7 chapters )
In other news - am I the only person who think that Hugh Jackman sounds really spectacularly bad in those radio ads for that new musical? If I were the producers I wouldn't actually be advertising those sound clips. Yipes.
