When I found out that this movie was (::movie theater voice::) "from the creators of the Matrix trilogy," I was hesitant to watch it. I wasn't terribly impressed with the first Matrix movie, I thought the second one was ridiculous, and I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to see the third one. But, Dad had bought "V" and was eager to watch it. What the hell, I thought. I won't expect anything, so I shouldn't be disappointed.
Oh. My.
To say that this was one of the better movies I've seen in a long time would be the understatement of the month.
Was it the poetry?
Was it Natalie Portman pulling off bald?
Was it gay Gordon with his sexuality and a Koran hidden away in a closet?
Was it never seeing the hero's face, but seeing his horror and his soul?
Was it all this and more?
Can you fall absolutely in love with a man and never know a thing about him, not even what he looks like?
Yes, you can. Just ask me and Natalie.
Remember, remember, the fifth of November.

Sounds like a good movie! I saw Pirates II, but mostly I just see kiddo movies when I take one of my 3 nieces--which is one of my fav things to do!
