short movie review

Saw the Island last night with David. it wasn't all that great of a movie, but still better then I was expecting. Proof that good preformances cannot save a bad script. Sean Bean was very good, I like him more with what i see of his. Ewan McGregor was, as I expected, wonderful. There were a few scenes with "himself" (the character is a clone, and the scenes were with his "sponsor") where you'd be able to hear the difference between his Scottish, and American (for lack of a better term) accents very well.

That said, there were several very nice futuristic cars, a few explosions, and I was happy. Also Djimon Hounsou was very good. If you're interested in almost the exact same storyline (and overall, I thought, better executed), read The Experiment by John Darnton.


When I came home, one of my cousins was waiting for my little sister (who was walking the dog) so they could go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I declined the offer to join them, but still intend on seeing it. Apparently the little sister thought it was very good (for all that it means).
