I went to see "The Prince of Persia, The Sands of Time" this afternoon.
It was pretty entertaining. However, I was disappointed in the lack of lip locking. Every time the prince and the princess come close to kissing, they pull away even though they are riding all over the desert on one horse with her body next to his. Finally, there is one chaste kiss. Since it's Disney, have the Christo-fascists extended their abstinence doctrine to the movies? I mean I saw steamier kissing scenes between Errol Flynn and Yvonne De Carlo in the harem and sand epics of that era and they had to meet the censorship standards of the Hays Office back then.

Well, I won't say more because I don't want to put forth any spoilers. However, if you enjoyed Xena Warrior Princess, you will enjoy this and the costumes and sets are well done. So any of you who have seen it weigh in. On a scale of one to five I give it a three and a half.

2. I liked the review better than
the film. I don't know anything about the 'game' but the action was a little long and tedious.
I went to see it with my sister and she wanted " a little more steam" All in all I would rate it at a 2.

3. Yeah, if you wanted some hot romance, you aren't getting it in this
movie. Even the actress Gemma Arterton didn't seem to think very much of it either in an interview with ET.

After a series of near kisses in the film, the actress says simply of the actual smooching scene, "It was a moment I suppose."
