Saturday night I went down to Semaphore and saw "Evan Almighty". It was pretty good. Following on from "Bruce Almighty", Morgan Freeman once again plays God, and speaks to Evan Baxter - played by Steve Carrell - telling him to build an ark like Noah did. Which he does. That's pretty much the movie (it's only 85 minutes long), but there's some good stuff in there that makes you think about the awesome size and power of God, but also his personal interest in each of his children. Steve Carell is good as always, and it's rated G, so if you've got kids, you could take them to this without risking scarring them for life.
Last night I went down to Arndale and saw "Superbad", a movie you probably wouldn't take your kids to, unless you had perhaps attended the Britney school of parenting. I wouldn't normally go see things like this (I'm kind of too old to be watching movies about high school) but there were two factors that swayed me towards it. First of all, it was by the guys who did "The Forty Year Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up", two films that I thought were really funny, and quite sweet considering the subject matter. Secondly, it had received really good reviews, which is pretty rare for a film in this genre.
Anyway, it was a good film, and laugh out loud funny in parts. As mentioned, it's not one for the kids though, or even easily offended adults. Everyone else should love it.
