The Prince & Me

had a free rental and just got it because nothing else grabbed me. it wasn't to bad actually being a "chick flick." had some funny moments along with a few moral points. 6.5 out of 10

visitor q

incest, physical abuse, abjection, murder, necrophilia, extended lactation jokes, people being hit with rocks, reality tv. it sounds better than it is.

man of marble

excellent film, a sort of pseudohistory of high stalinism 1950-53 in poland....smart, funny high recursive complete with lovely faux newsreel stuff.

Alien vs. Predator

3/10

Utter crap. Decent special effects, but that doesn't make a movie.

--jaded

The Corporation: Documentary filmmaking at its best! Slightly dumded down, but still articulate and ruthlessly inquisitive. Great use of stock footage and some brilliant shots mixed with pertinent and comprehensive investigation.

Rear Window: Hitchcock... um, dispute it's brilliance and you will be smote down...

Nosferatu: Herzog's second greatest film. Kinski is absolutely brilliant as the haunting, monstrous Dracula, and the direction and cinematography is superb!

Hero - 7/10. This movie would've gotten WAY higher if Jet Li had just slaughtered the fuckin' army. I don't care if that lines up with the style, or if it even makes sense to the story, but I would've enjoyed this movie way more if he had performed "Death Within Ten Paces" on EVERY soldier in the entire castle.

Two!
Yojimbo - 8/10. It's funny that I watched the three in reverse order, but I think I liked FoD best. Last Man Standing was, of course, crap, and Yojimbo was excellent, but somehow Clint was just more my style.

Taking Lives - 2/10. Horrendous! We laughingly predicted plot twists that all came about, to our horror. One scary moment in the whole film, as well a hilariously awkward sex scene during which Ethan Hawke is fully clothed. Angelina has lovely breasts, though. An utter waste of time, though fun to lampoon.

The Girl Next Door - 6/10 - I laughed at it and actually enjoyed the movie. Made me wish I had done something like that in high school.

The Manchurian Candidate. Not so good. I've heard the original is much better. I hope so. 3/10

Office Space - 7/10
Hardest I've laughed during a movie in a while. The slo-mo scene where the guys are beating the poor copy machine to pieces (to gangsta music LOL!) is hysterical.

28 Days Later - on 8/28 - one of the best movies I have seen in a long time

A Man Apart - on 8/29 - typical action movie, Vin Diesel and Larenze Tate were watchable

The Village 5/10 - Fealt rather let down, but it wasnt a complete waist of money.

Watched a bunch of movies today ... its what i do with my day off.

do the right thing- absoultely amazing. spike lee is masterful. dunno what else to say except see this classic now if you havent already. 8.5/10

bully- odd movie from the director of kids and gummo. based on a true story, which kept me interested but the script was a little bland. the actors were great, everyone fit their part wonderfully for a young ensemble cast. 6/10

garden state- zach braffs debut is wonderful. acting is top notch but it takes odd plot twists that arent really neccesary. more like he was trying to add time to the movie. i cant wait to see what he has next, he shows a great deal of potential. the music is great too 7/10

touching the void- holy shit this was intense. it was kinda like a re-enacted documentery. yeah yeah it made me suspicious at the start too but just keep watching. absolutely amazing what the human body is capable of under strenuous conditions. the guys tell their stories as though it was their first time. you find yourself catching your breath wating for whats next. 8/10

Jersey Girl....lets start with 10/10

-5 for Ben Affleck
+2 for George Carlin
+2 for Liv Tyler
+1 for the little girl (cute)
-5 for J. Lo

Total = 5/10

How about Jersey Girl, crap crap crap crap crap.

Anyhow, sorry about that people I'm a snob...

Aguirre: Wrath of God - Holy shit, Herzog is a frickin legend, Kinski is brilliant, the shots, the music, the lines, the lack of Ben Affleck, the everything. Masterpiece - 10/10

Suspect Zero. About 5 or 6 out of 10. A really cool idea, with a decent performance by Ben Kingsley, but fails miserably in the end.

Hero. 8.5/10

Really good and a breath of fresh air from the typical Hollywood stuff, but would have been better without the subtle undertones of Chinese Propaganda.

The Conversation - Francis Ford Coppola is a God amongst men...

elephant- im a big fan of gus van sant but this one was wierd. i liked it though. wonderful long, trance-like shots (im talking like 5 minutes) got me so into the movie it was crazy. check it out if you want a different perspective on the columbine shootings.

Hollywood Homicide

8/10 - It was a comedic action moive - two detectives juggling second jobs and life during a murder investigation. Harrison Ford stars. It has a great car chase.

It seemed like the pilot for some TV police show, but was very enjoyable and has some good laughs. I'd watch it again.

Taking Lives- 3/10

Taking lives was one of the worst movie ive seen in a while. A lot of dialogue was really corny, the acting wasn't that great, and the end failed miserably. When I was watching I was thinking, "That guy can't be the killer, if they did that the movie would be retarded." As you can guess, it was that guy. The first 15min of the movie was pretty decent, when it showed the killer as a kid. At one point a plot twist came up that was so dumb me and my friend just kind of stared in awe for a moment and then started laughing. I'm just glad I didn't have to see it in the theater.

Girl Next Door- 6.5/10

This was a good teen comedy. I personally think I would have been more pissed off if my girlfriend didnt tell me she was a porn star and I had to find it out myself. It was my own personal views on things that bothered me throughout the movie. However, it was not enough to wreck the movie in anyway though, it was still a pretty good movie and worth renting.

Ali G. brit paki hip hop satire. funny. 8 outta 10. funnier if you´re flying air jamaica.

S.W.A.T. - good cast, weak script, but enough action to keep it fun. keep the expectations low and you can have a fun time watching this one. 5/10

The Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.

9/10 damn good....Jim Carrey like you have never seen him before.

I needed to hibernate this afternoon so watched some movies...
1. 7/10 The Girl Next Door - the unrated version - -I (shame on me for saying this) expected a lot more t and a. For a teen comedy, it had a plot, it was a pretty good movie, I was entertained.

2. 6/10 - Love, Actually. Good cast, a bit long. For a comedy, the end of the movie just really kinda depressed me. But it was pretty good.

3. 2/10 - Wild Orchid. If a young, extremely hot Mickey Rourke wasnt in it, the movie would have been a complete waste. Bad plot, Carrie Otis is quite pretty, and has a very nice rack, but the movie itself was so bad. But damn, Mickey Rourke is just so hot... I mean really hot. Did I say that Mickey Rourke was hot? 9 1/2 Weeks was better, and he was equally hot in that.

storytelling- what a fucked up movie, but awesome. think of any taboo subject and todd puts it in there meanwhile making fun of himself while doing it. good good flick. 8/10

400 blows - heartbreaking story of a misunderstood child shunned by parents and schoolteachers. shows how fucked up some people are when theyre not willing to try and be understanding and shove their problems on other people. 7.5/10

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
7/10

It was funny and the end caught me by surprise. Michael Caine and Steve Martin.

I'd watch it again and would consider buying it if I found it on the $10 table.

Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back

First time I'd ever seen it and it happened to be pretty damn decent. Or was that
Shannon Elizabeth? Doesn't matter. :)

Kaena: The Prophecy

Not a big release movie. Used computer animation. Had some awsome visual scenes, but the plot was subpar and the script sucked. didn't explain enough of what was going on. 3/10, I wouldn't suggest watching unless you just want to see some good scenery.

Seven Samurai - 9.5/10

It doesn't get much better. Toshiro Mifune is such a great actor, it doesn't seem like he is acting at all. Takashi Shimura, as the leader of the Seven Samurai, is a force of nature - rock solid performance. Very accessible, easy to watch and understand, this is an awesome action movie.

Hellboy - 8/10

This was a cool flick. I liked the humor and the dark undertone this movie had. Very cool visuals and story. It could have been better with an R rating but I guess that's just my bloolust. Out of the ordinary so I do recommend :thumbsup:

Resident Evil Apocalypse

6/10

Hero

8/10

Very beautiful Hong Kong movie. Wonderful story, great action, bit of a twist at the end. My only complaint would be that it was a bit slow. Running time is only about 1.75 hours, but seems like it was 2.5 hours. All that not with standing, I will probably buy on DVD.

Fistful of Dynamite

Leone's poorest outing. Thrown together for the benefit of studio fat cats, it lacks the poetic haunting qualities of his masterpieces and comes across as a vulgar stream of hackneyed images. Steiger does his best and shines on occasion, but can't take the tarnish of the overall quality of the film. Sloppy editing, and a distended and confusing storyline leave only the quality acting and undeniably brilliant action sequences to hold the whole thing up...

4/10

Kagemusha

Not Kurosawa's best work, but still well and truly above the realms of mortal film makers. Visually stunning, the mise en scene is incomparably brilliant. Words and ratings cheapen this film.

Open Water is the last film I have seen. I must say I quite enjoyed it, its nice to see a good film that doesn't need to use the magic of hollywood and still have an affect on the viewer. Great movie.

I give it an 4.5/5.0

Harold and Kumar! 9/10. Thought the movie was HILARIOUS! Was laughing nearly the whole way through. :D

william s burroughs: commissoner of sewers

it was cool to see burroughs, but the film was done late in his life, after he was being burroughs more than being interesting, and the film itself is tiresome.

I saw AvP today.

I threw up.


El Fin

Saw Good Bye Lenin! today on DVD.

Great flick, from germany so subtitle warning for the unwary.

A defenite rental for most people, I plan on buying it sometime soon.
