Gwyneth Paltrow did this song justice.

Paltrow also speaks excellent Spanish. However, she'll never be as funny as RDJ.

I knew Gywenth Paltrow played Legolas though.

Laughed so hard at "only Sean Bean dies, gee, never seen that before" Too true. Has there ever been a story where he isn't dead by the end?

Well, according to Phoenix's publicist, it's true:


NEW YORK - Joaquin Phoenix is quitting movies to focus on music.

Phoenix's publicist has confirmed his earlier comments to TV's "Extra" that the upcoming "Two Lovers" will be his last performance on film.

Phoenix first talked about his decision to "Extra" this week while attending a fundraiser in San Francisco.

He abruptly ended the interview after the reporter asked if he was joking.

The 34-year-old star received Oscar nominations for his roles in "Gladiator" and "Walk the Line," for which he learned to play guitar to portray country legend Johnny Cash.

Phoenix co-stars with Gwyneth Paltrow in the romantic drama "Two Lovers," slated for release Feb. 13.

Publicist Susan Patricola says it's "not strange" that Phoenix wants "Two Lovers" to be his last film.

"Joaquin has been directing music videos and been involved in music for the last number of years," she said.

I wouldn't go as far as all that. Remember, it's a tribute to pulp sci-fi, and as such it focused on a lot of the old cliches found in the genre (the attack of the robots, the plucky female reporter, the retro special effects, the ridiculously grandiose schemes of the villain). It also pays a lot of homages to movies like Metropolis, The Forbidden Planet, Flash Gordon, and Buck Rogers. One scene is almost identical to the Fleischer Studios Superman short, "Mechanical Monsters."

If anything, it bears a lot of similarities to the Indiana Jones movies, except Indiana Jones plays on the adventure pulps and Sky Captain plays on the sci-fi pulps. If you're looking for a deep and immersive plot, you'll be hard pressed to find it in either movie. They're both essentially homages to these old styles of entertainment. (Granted Indiana Jones did it better, but Sky Captain did a respectable job as well.)

I will agree that the movie has its flaws, most notably Gweneth Paltrow's acting, though fortunately Jude Law makes up for this. However, the plot, music, stylistic elements, and visuals were, for the most part, spot-on, so I feel that it's not too much to say that it succeeded on most levels.

I guess the movie is most appreciated if you've seen some of the older works it's paying homage to. I spent a lot of my youth reading those older comics, listening to those older radio shows, and viewing a few of the movies/cartoons, so Sky Captain had a pretty big impact on me.
