Sky Captain and the World of Tommorow ** this is not a terrible film. I guess it is a children's film, the plot is so contrived that it must be. The acting is alright though, although it should be, given the actors (Jude, Angelina, Gwyneth).
Helvetica *** The smell of eau de fart fills the room as typesetters and fontographers fulminate on the rise (60s), fall (90s) and rise again (naughties) of the font Helvetica. They mentioned the Microsoft copy of Helvetica (Arial) in the film, but somehow forgot to mention Apple's copy, Geneva even though all of those toting computers were pimping pro Macs. Yep, it helps to be a Mac nerd to enjoy this. To celebrate, this paragraph is presented in...Helvetica.
The Devil Wears Prada ** This is rather a girly film it turns out. It is certainly funny in parts, but a bit like Sky Captain, it is a tad beyond my ability to suspend dis-belief.
Mr and Mrs Smith ** Swashbuckling for sure, but not at all the film I expected. I kind of get it, they were married but didn't know that they were 'hitmen' working for opposing teams. For 6 years. I suppose it is possible. Possibly.
