I Guess I Haven't Gotten Out Much

Alright. So I haven't seen a movie in a long time. I just haven't taken the time to sit down and watch something either at my house or in theaters, so I really am not sure what all to write about. Let's see... I guess I'll just write about what we've been watching in class. So we just started Battle of Algiers, and I have to say it's better than I thought it would be. The documentary review thing we watched in class to set up the movie made it seem like it was going to be some old, black and white, boring war movie like you always find on the History channel. I'm not saying the History channel is bad in any way, I actually love the History channel, especially late at night, but I'm just saying I thought it was going to be really not so good. Plus, when I found out that it was in French, I was actually kinda happy because I was hoping I would be able to understand everything without having to read the subtitles, but that is definitely not the case. The only stuff I can understand without reading is the voice over. Everything else, or just about everything else, is in Arabic or in very hard to understand French. That was kind of disappointing... But as for the actual movie, it's a bit hard to tell exactly what's going on, but I can tell there's a lot of action, or at least a lot of shooting people. Hopefully I'll understand the movie more as it progresses, otherwise this movie's going to pretty much go right over my head, and I definitely won't enjoy it.
Well anyway, here's the trailer for the movie. It makes it look pretty intense.
