TV Break

I was surprised to find that I'm enjoying what I've seen of Prison break. I've only watched the first two episodes but I'm genuinely interested to see how the rest of the escape pans out. The dialogue/acting isn't the greatest and so far I'm not too keen on the government agent side of the story line (or at least the way it's being portrayed) but I may yet come around. Similarly I'm enjoying Veronica Mars even though it sometimes makes me cringe with it's cheesiness or poor acting. Although I'll admit the lead in Veronica Mars is worth watching all on her lonesome.

I watched Jacky Brown this morning. I quite like Tarantino and I especially love his dialogue. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction have some great moments. Jacky Brown has some good lines as well but it's just not quite as sharp. I'm sure that was intentional, after all it's a different kind of movie from the other two in the same way that Kill Bill is a different movie(s). But one thing that lets Jacky Brown down (that shit rhymes) is the ending. Sometimes you watch an ending to a movie and think "I'm not really sure what they could do to make that better but it really needed something..." That's Jacky Brown right there, I'm not really sure what it is about the ending, it just needed to be better. Also Samuel L Jackson should never have long hair again. Ever.
