Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. If you see one movie this year, see this one! No, actually, see Anchorman. But then sneak into this one, after Anchorman is finished, because it really is an awesome movie. I went in expecting a lot, actually. I mean, you don't get Jude Law and Gwenyth Paltrow in the same movie together and not end up with some kickass entertainment. Add to that CGI robots, an evil Nazi professor, and Gwenyth Paltrow's little hat, and you really have a corker. But more than all that, except maybe the little hat, was the style of cinematography. The acting, the plot, the costumes, the era, and that smashing style we all know and love from the thirties and forties. It reminded me a whole lot of The African Queen, actually. Maybe I'm just a sucker, but here is something new from the past, and I love it.

I've even started combing my hair over to the side, like Jude. Mmmyeah. In Memory of Petey
