Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle

is cak.

As usual, I have more to say about the overall cinema experience and trailers than the actual film.

I saw a few posters in the lobby, including the interesting looking Freddy vs Jason (how much more they gonna milk these characters?)

There was also one for Teminator 3, which I'm planning to watch on an evening after seeing the original two films back to back if I ever get round to it.

Once in my seat, I had to sit through the new Diet Coke advert. Have you seen it? It's the one where a girl is sat on a train, and as soon as she opens her bottle of aforementioned drink, she starts to see words around her in an order that makes a rather suggestive message. The punchline is that after reading something along the lines of "Hey, you turn me on. Why don't we get together", she puts the top back on the bottle, and the man sat opposite brings the newspaper down that was covering his face. The girl is obviously not impressed by the guy (dressed in suitably tasteless shirt and chubby face), and her smile fades and she turns her head. My point is that she's certainly not much of a pretty face either, so perhaps she should take what she can rather than wait forever...

And then the film. Well, I've given my opinion already, but what's left to say is that there is a surprising number of famous faces beyond the angels themselves ranging from main parts to cameo apperances (including Demi Moore, Bruce Willis, Pink, John Cleese) and parodies of other films and television programs (the Cape Fear joke and music is overused).

So if you do find yourself dragged along to see this film against your will, play spot-a-celeb, spot-the-parody, and appreciate the gratuitous and frequent show of female flesh. I certainly did.
