Flawed Flick Review

pstrong pbThis column is less personal then my other ones, though I am a wee bit ticked off. Let me explain./b/p/strong/p pDIV align="left" TABLE cellpadding="5"TR VALIGN="TOP"TD/td/trTR VALIGN="TOP"TD/td/trTR VALIGN="TOP"TDTR VALIGN="TOP"TD pby Joseph Bolden/p pIt is Saturday May, 26. On Monday, May 28, 2001, Memorial Day, a movie will be shown that I wanted to see today. The movie is "Pearl Harbor". Personally I’m ready to see it now, not Monday. Already it has been called a winner in the mega buck category. Disney Studios is sure to recoup its money and more for showing it before and on Memorial Day./p pFor a number of reasons I am not really looking forward to seeing this film. I had other plans besides watching this film. I also imagine the film will probably be really loud and bright. Since I haven’t been to many rock concerts and my weak eyes will be strained to the point of pounding headaches–it won’t be enjoyable. /p pBut a few points in its favor are that ease those problems is that the film is about the Japanese supposedly sneak attack on December 7, 1941 that brought America into World War II. In addition, the movie stars Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, Kate Beckensale as love interest, Alex Baldwin, and Cuba Gooding Jr. as a heroic Black guy—I hope he doesn’t get killed in the movie./p pThis ends part 1 of my dubious before after preview of the Pearl Harbor flick. Part 2 will begin and end on Tuesday, May29, 2001, the day after Memorial Day./p p©Joseph Bolden/Staff Writerbr / Poor Magazine/p pPS I'm a bit peeved and depressed at this mandatory movie outing but I’ll buck upbr / and keep going; it may not be that bad (Who am I kidding?)./p pbPlease send donations to Poor Magazinebr / C/0 Ask Joebr / 255 9th Streetbr / San Francisco, CA 94103br / USA/b/p pFor Joe only my snail mail: PO Box 1230br / 645 Market Streetbr / San Francisco, CA 94102/p pEmail:askjoe@poormagazine.orgb/b/p p/p/td/tr/td/tr/table/div/p
