Good Film/Horrible Film

I went to go see "The New World" (Terrence Malick's fifth film) this weekend. It was great! Q'Orianka Kilcher, Christian Bale and Christopher Plummer were all really great, but the star of the film was the cinematography and sound. Malick's films always look great. I highly recommend this one.

On the other hand, don't waste your time with "Underworld: Evolution" - it sucks. I went hoping it would be as good as the first one, which was not bad. Unfortunately, the complete lack of any cool Bill Nighy (not the Science Guy) scenes, combined with a horrible script, terrible editing, poorly choreographed fight scenes, stupid underdeveloped characters and inexplicably vague and confusing pseudo-eastern european locations make for a stinker that not even Derek Jacobi could save. Spend your eight bucks on The New World or Munich.
