M & Ms, & M from M & M

Two reviews via my sister Melanie.

A short review of the movie Shrek 3:

"We went to see Shrek III last night. It was O.K. but the critics were right........it is not nearly as good as the first two."

A more favourable review of the Shrek M&Ms:

"So this brings me to answering your question about the M & Ms.............. Meaghan has not been even close to well enough to eat chocolate till yesterday so the girls finally got to try them last night. They must have liked them because they are all gone and I didn't get a single one!!! Meaghan would only eat the red ones though!! :)"

Borat

Yesterday I went to see the movie Borat.

There were many moments of the movie that made me laugh, which is rare for a comedy. Some of the funny moments were of the fish-out-of-water type, while others were of the I-can't-believe-he-said-that type.

I wouldn't go so far as to endorse the movie, however.

Much of the dialogue was crude. There was a scene which must have lasted for at least five minutes involving the two main characters, both male, wrestling naked with each other [1]. There wasn't much of a plot (how many comedies do have good plots, though?)

I left the movie theatre feeling dirtier than when I came in.

[1] The main characters are supposedly from Kazakhstan, a central Asian country. I recall from travel shows that central Asians have some rituals that involve men getting way too close for comfort by my standards. So perhaps a native Kazakh would not have been so inclined to avert his gaze.
