Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix; Black Sheep; Sicko
So here are the last three films that I've seen in the theatres (long overdue) in condensed versions...
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix:
Harry and the crew are getting older, things are getting rougher, there are webs of lies and deceit, and there is an annoying lady in pink. That pretty much sums up the film. There isn't really a lot of new stuff, but it's fresh enough to make another installment in the septology. If you enjoyed the first 4, you'll like this one. If you didn't like the first 4, this one isn't going to convert you. Also, if you plan to see this one you really should see/read the first 4. Otherwise you have a good chance of being lost.
Black Sheep
People are experimenting on sheep; it goes wrong, very very wrong; the sheep start eating people; sheeple develop; there's lots of fantastically lame humor (and excessive blood and guts). Basically think Shawn of the Dead, but with zombie sheep and set in New Zealand. It's a Zombie-horror film that doesn't take itself too seriously and is lots of fun (if you are willing to stomach the guts; not a problem for me).
Sicko
Micheal Moore is back; he's still fat; he's still annoyed with the government; he's not politically biased... Wait, what?!? Yup. He attacks both sides in attacking the health-care system in the US. I must say that this is quite possibly his best documentary to date. It seems slightly less biased than his previous works (however you still do have to take everything that he says/presents you with with a grain of salt) and once again renewed my fervor to leave the US (possibly for Canada or Western Europe).
RATING(S): Worth an average ticket (or just rent it), Worth any ticket (but you'll probably have to rent it), Worth a full price ticker (or a good rental).
