Advanced Film Criticism, Monday, Period 1

"If you think I'm going to even pretend to do any work on a day where we celebrate those brave men and women who gave their lives for my right to not do any work today, you're a crazy person," James said, kicking off class in just the right way. "All I'm doing is honoring them, the only way I know how."

And then he started today's board-game based war movie.

Like you're taking the day off!

I'm stunned that IMDb only has two synopses, one way too vague and the other overly detailed without even giving actor's names.

Based on the classic Hasbro naval combat game, Battleship is the story of an international fleet of ships who come across an alien armada while on Naval war games exercise. An intense battle is fought on sea, land and air. What do the aliens want?

Full synopsis here (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1440129/synopsis?ref_=ttpl_pl_syn).

It's his Constitutional right to ignore you today, and if you don't believe him, go take a Constitutional law class and prove it!

Oh, glorious day off. I'm gonna see X-Men shortly, and then it's just hanging out at home.

Flick really wasn't paying attention to the movie today. Sure, he looked up when something loud happened but he really wasn't registered the plot.

Probably because there was none.

For a movie with just about the stupidest, cheesiest concept in the history of ever, it was surprisingly not-bad.

And, shut up, the montage where they got the Missouri up and running again was actually kind of moving.

But there was nothing -- nothing -- that could possibly redeem the movie after the scene where they actually called out grid coordinates with a "hit" or "miss", like in the board game. Joker burst out laughing at that.

(OOC: I have actually seen the movie. This is my honest opinion.)
