Your Highness

Your Highness
Dir. David Gordon Green
57/300

I was a little sad to see that the trailer gave away a lot of the good parts of this movie.  It seemed also like the audience was with me on that one.  We laughed, but a lot of the jokes fell flat because they were every commercial break.  The movie was pretty funny over-all, but it was long winded between those parts.

There are reasons to go see this movie anyway though!  First off, after Portman and Franco had some stellar oscar nominating and winning performances the year before, it's fun to see them let their hair down at the beginning of blockbuster season.

Franco sings.

The special effects, and shooting style are pretty epic.

and Danny McBride does have some pretty funny moments.  You can see his hand in this entire film from the writing to the physical humor.  I'm sure if you watch Conan, Letterman, or really, any talk show lately, you've heard him talk about this project as if it's his baby.  But at the same time, he has also been talking a lot about other ideas for movies he has up his sleeve.  So, I hope this movie does go over well for him, so that he can work on making some more of his stuff.
