Okay, so my first post was kind of negative. Just so happened that I had just watched the film before I started writing. But I don't think that the world is all evil and doomed and beyond hope. Heheh. There still is much good in the world. I promise!
So I saw another movie, Save the Last Dance 2. No, this is NOT a movie blog. Again, just so happened that I saw two movies on the same day, and both elicited reactions, one coz it was quite good, and the other coz it was quite the opposite. Felt kind of cheated after. I mean, for one thing, the main character was the same as the one in the first movie (the storyline was supposed to be a continuation of that of the first), but the actress was different, and her portrayal of the role and the way she danced were incredibly different from the first. Kind of disconcerting. Not only was the acting inconsistent; it also wasn't very good. The story wasn't too great either. There was no conflict! I mean, there were little conflicts, but they weren't drawn out well, and they were easily resolvable and did not merit all the drama. There were some interesting ideas about art/music/dance and classical vs. modern in there, but they were barely touched on. And, ok, I'm normally forgiving about the story aspect of dance movies because i watch them mostly for the dancing, but the dancing wasn't even all that hot. Kind of boring actually. No spice, no oomph, no "flava," yknow?
What a waste.
