movie weekend

I saw "I, Robot and "Anchorman : The Legend of Ron Burgundy" this weeekend.

I, Robot was pretty good. It played a little more like an action movie than sci-fi which is pretty much par for the course for a summer movie starring "The Fresh Prince of Belair." Still it waas a though provoking movie. I wish the plot had been a little more complicated and that perhaps it wouldn't have wrapped up so neatly at the end. My biggest complaint was that it looked too much like "Minority Report." I kept waiting for Tom Cruise to be seen sneaking around the corner looking for someone to poke his eyes out. I paid full price, and still liked this movie.

Anchorman was terrible. The only good part of the movie was the air conditioning. It seemed like an SNL skit that should have been cut at ten minutes. There was a funny concept buried in the movie where they were parodying the sports legends type of show seen on ESPN2. If that note had been carried more effectively and the movie would have contained a funny plot, and I paid $1.00 I might have like the movie. I paid matinee prices for this movie and still hated it.
