If you're happy and you know it...

Spent the whole day watching movies.

First was The Phantom of the Opera. It was good, but rather heavy. And SAD. And creepy at times. You kinda feel sorry for the Phantom, but then you never really know whether he's the protagonist OR the antagonist. You just feel relieved he's gone at the end. PURGED. Which is why I came to the conclusion "Hey. This must be an Aristotelian mode of tragedy." and left it at that. And oh yeah, excellent soundtrack.

The next was Sky High. I dunno why I even bothered to rent it. It was alright during some parts, but everything about it screamed "DISNEY", which screamed "KIDDIE" even louder. It reminded me of Spy Kids-- and I hate Spy Kids. (Nawalan ng dignidad si Antonio Banderas dun.) Anyway, the "evil" plot of the antagonist was REALLY... BAD. Bad in the sense that it was the worst plot I've ever heard of a supervillain come up with. And it was so BAD that, no, it wasn't good, it was still BAD, all throughout. Seriously, the supervillain girl had to seduce this kid, separate him from his friends, win his trust and yada yada yada to get her Pacifier (which is a WEAPON, okay?) back from his uber-superhero parents (because they were the first ones to sack her) without them noticing so she could use it to zap all adult superheroes back into babies to raise them into supervillains in her supervillain academy. Well. That's smart. It's definitely not the most attractive idea to get revenge. I mean, that plan takes GROWING-- and--and BABY PARENTING(!). And the superheroes-turned-babies were as many as the stones in a zen garden. But I guess they wanted to minimize the violence of revenge. But it's still honest-to-goodness stupid.
The script wasn't all that hot either. Ordinary stuff. Really people, WHERE is the brilliance of wordplay? I'd forgive them if this was Star Wars but it's not (although it's also about forces and dark sides).

Also watched Bewitched the night before. Wasn't all impressed by it. All commercial crap, these rom-coms without substance. BUT Nicole Kidman was cute. Will Ferrel was not. But I'd give him a perfect 10 in the lovestruck-acting-violently-inspired-by-Tom-Cruise category. Well at least that had some semblance of reality-- even if it portrayed Tom Cruise doing passionately undignified declarations of LUVVV.
