don' t laugh too hard

Pun of the day. Damn, Kelly LeBrock was hot back then.

American Gangster

I' ve already seen this movie before about a dozen times as just about every other formulaic organized crime movie ever made. For a while there I thought that Martin Scorsese' s name might pop up in the credits but then I realized that his movies have far better editing. Seriously, the editing in this thing is atrocious. Also I really don' t give a rat' s ass if Russel Crowe is afraid to speak in front of crowds. Oh? It gives him character, you say? Hell, then why not show more of his quirky phobias? Maybe he is afraid of taking a huge dump after eating a jar of peanuts. WE NEED TO KNOW! It establishes character, just like his lame wife and kid. Who cares? Oh? It makes him more human? Not with that hairdo.

I jwatched Rob Zombie' s Haloween tonight. Hmmm. Zombie made it his own, until the second half of the film where he does pretty a speed run remake of the original. It was pretty brutal (as you' d expect from Zombie) and I liked him using the old Frankenstein to movie to portray Myers as the monster when he was killed...but... you saw it coming a million miles away. Not Zombie' s best but a better remake than some movies recently.

1408 - Not up to my hopes with Cusack and Samuel L Jackson in it. It was trying to do a more traditional Ghost Story, which is nice in today' s gore-splattered cinema, but it was a bit too convoluted for it' s own good.

I still want to see it, I like both those actors too.

I finally watched it and 300 a few days ago. 1408 I thought was pretty good until after I watched it I thought about it and realized how dumb it was. I wont say anything more because its really hard not to ruin that movie. The one thing that made me want to watch it was Samuel L., but he was barely in the movie at all.

As for 300, I' ll probably be crucified for saying it, but IMO it didnt live up to the hype. Within the first 45 min or so the only part I liked was the part where he kicks the Persian messenger into the hole. I did however think it started to pick up really well over the rest of the movie, but it seemed almost like I was watching Troy again. Overall I think it was a good movie, I' d give it a 9/10

I don' t like the fact that Myers is portrayed as a nutjob. he' s possessed for christs sake, not insane.

Eastern Promises

Great movie. Viggo Mortensen is excellent in it.

Borat-The script looks like it was written by a monkey on drugs. Seriously it doesn' t even look like they had a script. They probably just winged it. Some of the jokes are still hilarious.

If you don' t expect any form of a story, it' s worth renting just for some of the laughs.

Ratatoullie (or something like that)

First of all I must say that fancy foods and fancy restaurants disgust me, therefore there was no way in hell for me to connect to the characters here. I did not like this movie. The main human character is extremely annoying, especially his voice. I started fast-forwarding towards the end when they were getting ready to make a meal for the evil critic. Then I just said " Hell with this" and stopped watching altogether. While the graphics, animation and sound were all friggin' great, they could not save this movie. I was even able to watch A Bug' s Life and Cars to the very end, and those movies were complete pieces of shit!

Hopefully the next Pixar movie will be good.

Rat...whatever was a stupid cliched unfunny peice of junk movie. Hopefully Wall-E goes back to the Pixar style that I love.

Hey Mass did you ever get to watch Tekkonkinkreet? Its beautifully made. Reminds me of a cross between a Studio Ghibli movie and a series called Paranoia Agent.

Very surreal and entertaining.

I keep thinking about it since it downloadable on Amazon.com but always get distarcted by somthing else. The main problme is I havent actually had time to sit and watch a movie only listen and glance but since I dont speak Japanese and the movie is in subtitles it creates a bit of a problem.

Im definitly gonna snatch it up the 2nd I have a free day to just lay back relax.

So how was the story? Did it hold up strong thruout? what kinda story was it and all that jazz

I saw Beowulf a couple weeks ago. If you go into it realizing that it' s an action movie, and not at all faithful to the original poem you' ll be good. Not to mention it' s worth going to get a set of those spiffy 3D glasses!

Finally got around to seeing Transformers. I actually really enjoyed it. The plot was horrendous, but the acting was far better than I' d hoped for, and the script was actually funny at times.

Saw Bobby, it was good, but nowhere near as gripping as the trailer made it out to be.

Also caught A Mighty Heart. That was definitely worth going to see. Top-notch acting on Angelina Jolie' s part. She really sold the character.

I watched Evan Almighty and The Omen (original) yesterday.

They sort of cancel each other out, I think...

The fact it' s not coming out on BluRay really makes me question why I bought a PS3

I watched it last night and thought it was really disappointing. The first half was excellent then it just kind of fizzled out.

I just got my 5 bluray deal for a buying a PS3. So far I' ve seen Underworld Evolution, Phantom of the Opera and the Guardian. Got Happy Feet and the Omen to go. I' ve enjoyed all three so far, Underworld being the least. I' ve never watched the first, so it took me a while to get up to speed.
