Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001)
Oh, my
When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I was under the impression that Nicolas Cage's character was an American soldier, and that Penelope Cruz was the Italian. This was thought because of Cage's horrific attempt at an Italian accent with the line "Bella bambina at 12 o'clock" (or something like that). I assumed he was trying to fake an accent to be silly as he was marching around what I thought was Italy. The accents were horrible, and as always, Penelope Cruz sounds like a squeaky chihuahua trying to squeeze out her lines. And lets not forget about Christian Bales accent, wow, sounded like he was trying to speak through a ball of cotton stuffed in his mouth. And if the accents weren't bad enough, during the love scene between Cage and Cruz, you get a glimpse of pit hair from not Cage, but Cruz! Maybe that was the norm for women in Greece back then, but that's not what just doesn't fly in a love scene these days. Put this DVD back on the shelf at the video store and walk right past, you can't get the wasted 2 hours of your life back.
VeggieTales: The Ballad of Little Joe (2003)
Veggitales
This is one of the best veggietale shorts. Just as in previous episodes, it is filled with fun inside jokes that make it just as enjoyable for adults as it is for the children. Take for example the line "Hey desperado, you've gotta come to your senses!" You especially have to love the Boyz in the Sink Bellybutton song, a delightful farce on the recent trend of boy bands, with various veggie characters portraying a few of the familiar boy band faces. Even after hearing The Ballad of Little Joe a few times a day for the last month, being that it captivates my little toddler, I still love it just as much. Consider it highly recommended from a huge fan of veggietales.
