Movie: Mr. 3000

So last night I watched “Mr. 3000”, the Bernie Mac baseball movie. I was actually pleasantly surprised – I enjoyed it, even if it was typical movie fare (unoriginal and more than a bit predictable). I liked how the character was really unlikeable at the beginning, then got humbled, but then managed to become a jerk again later on – I wouldn’t have enjoyed the movie if the character just went from a jerk to nice without being human about it and falling back on old behavior.

Angela Basset is a great looking woman, but I hated her with long hair. She and Halle Berry both need to keep short hair – they become knockouts with short hair. With long hair they look weird (no, Halle Berry wasn’t in this movie – I’m just making a point).
