If you are one of those people who likes movies to be, you know, smart...well then, there's this dandy documentary called Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work out now on DVD, Blu-Ray, and Netflix Instant Watcher, and I highly recommend it. But for those of us who can enjoy a movie that is, shall we say, a little dumber...okay, a lot dumber, then Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time might be right up your alley, especially if you, like me, have grown tired of self-important, all-too-serious action movies that have forgotten the meaning of the word f-u-n. Just as there is a place for intelligent documentaries and serious dramas, there will always be a need for movies made specifically for mindless, perhaps even guilty, entertainment. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, packed to the gills with action sequence after action sequence, can best be described as James Bond meets 1999's The Mummy by way of Indiana Jones. If that doesn't make you even the slightest bit excited, then remember: Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work is out now on DVD, Blu-Ray, and Netflix Instant Watcher.
