The Devil Wears Prada and 16 Blocks

I wanted to have some alone time today, so I spent the afternoon all by myself. Did some shopping and saw The Devil Wears Prada. I thought it was good. Funny and very stylish. Meryl Streep was so great in it, and I like the opening song "Suddenly I see".

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. It was a lot of fun. Davy Jones, captain of the Flying Dutchman a.k.a. the guy with the tentacles beard, is the coolest thing I have seen in movies in a long time. Of course, Johnny Depp, need I say more? Oh and there are these half-man half-fish creatures that are pretty awesome too. Did anyone notice that half-man half-sea snail with his head fell off toward the end of the movie, was he speaking cantonese when he's telling his body how to get back to his head? If you haven't seen the movie, this makes no sense to you I know. By the way, it's a good idea to watch the first one before going to see this one. There are many details that relate back to the first one. The ending of Dead Man's Chest left me wanting more of Pirates. I know my favorite actor Chow Yun-Fat is going to be in the third one, another reason to be excited about.
