Going To The Movies With Amber


Amber called me to see if I wanted to go see UnderWorld:Evolution with her. I said "yes", because
A: It's Amber
and
B: I like badass female heroes
So we (me and Amber and Justin) all went to the Alamo, because
A: It's in our neighborhood
and
B: They serve food and wine and stuff.

So here's what I think:
A: the movie was really noisey. There was stuff blowing up all over the place
B: the movie was really messy. The people who made the movie took lots of showers after they got home from work, I bet. Often, I wished I was able to offer Kate Beckinsale a tissue, or a wet nap.
C: Kate Beckinsale kicks ass. She is a real sport, as they got her really messy lots, as well as wet, and squished into an uncomfortable rubber corset. Also, she had to wear these dental prosthetics, and contact lenses.
D: The script allowed for a greater range of emotional expression for the heroine. In the first movie, she is all business, with a few subtle variations on the peeved and serious look. In the sequal, she was allowed a small half smile and a full on grieving breakdown (sort of)
E: Eating a yummy pizza during a confusing movie can both add to and detract from the experience. That's because sometimes you have to look at your food, and something will happen on screen that you miss. But it's ok, because you have a yummy pizza, and Amber plans on us getting the DVD and watching it until we understand it. So it's all good.
In conclusion, I think you will enjoy this movie if you go see it with Amber. If you can't go with Amber, try to find someone really really cool to see it with. That way, if you don't enjoy the movie itself, you have your cool friend to enjoy hanging out with. Either that, or get really drunk.

Not only did I like the first Underworld, I also liked Van Helsing! So I'll definitely watch this one.
