Polar Express: Enjoyable, not great, just good, its a good kids movie rated G. Slow part in the middle, Tom Hanks plays/voices multiple characters.

WHite Chicks on video. Really weak, almost painful to watch. (And I like the whole Wayans family.)

taxi: jimmy fallon should have just stuck to the small screen. he\'s not nearly as cute and talented as on SNL.

Incredibles: 9/10. Awesome. I walked out of the theater hoping for a sequel.

Elf

I saw this on DVD in my living room, and I disagree with the previous poster. I thought that it was really well thought out, and is a great family movie. It is definitely a feel good movie that made me laugh on multiple occasions.

Collateral (theatre):

Awesome movie. Started out kind of slow, but slow with good plot and acting, making it watchable. Tom Cruise was actually pretty badass in this, and Jamie Foxx and Jada Pinkett-Smith were both good as well. A couple of unexpected twists, and some damn fine suspense made this a movie worth watching, and I'd watch it again. Thank you, Michael Mann.

9/10

National Treasure. I was surprised because this movie not at all what I expected. I enjoyed it. It was purely a fun movie to watch.

Bad Santa - Not as entertaining as I expected.

Elf - More entertaining than I expected.

Both will change the way I look at departtment store Santas.

National Treasure- to long to be pg
Saved- not as good as Dogma but still pretty good
Enteral Sunshine of the Spotless mind- amazing one of the best i have ever seen

The Prince and Me - cute, Eddie's accent may be a bit *too* posh, but whatever, he's great. Julia Stiles had a really deep voice which surprised me at first, but it was fine after a while. Overall, great movie for the girls.

13 Going on 30 - Meh, very disappointed. It was boring and tepid. Pretty much hated everyone in there, especially Matt (both past and present.) I felt that Sydney (Alias) was coming through too much, mostly because Jennifer Garner used the exact same expressions here as in Alias.
And the storyline isn't anything to write home to either.

Backbeat - DVD

This movie is all about the future Beatles' time in Hamburg, Germany, focusing on the relationship between Stu Sutcliffe, the band's original bass player and Astrid Liebherr, and how it affects Stu's friendship with John Lennon. The movie is quite good and there is quite a bit of boobage for everyone. Great music of course, as well.

The only part I really didn't like was the implication that John Lennon may have been a bisexual, which is overplayed a bit IMHO. George Harrison and Pete Best unfortunately have only fairly minor roles. I would have liked to see them, especially Pete, developed a bit more.

Still, a solid ****/*****

Troy (DVD)
Only watched half so far, but I like it. Above par acting, script that doesn't make me cringe, and some pretty good fighting. 8/10

Half Past Dead - Steven Siegal, Ja Rule, Kurupt & Nia Peeples

Very silly prison/shoot out type movie, morally confusing, Ja Rule rather annoying (his acting range involves a serious of facial ticks), Kurupt quite funny, Seigel playing his usual good cop in a bad mood, looking rather portly these days, Nia Peeples lookinggorgeous and ridicously over acting. All in all it was good harmless fun as far as it went, but nothing original or likely to make one think, just about sustains interest to the end. 2/5

The Incredibles. Absolutely...well, incredible. :D

:thumbsup:

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever.

Hated the movie. Storyline was everywhere and I had trouble following it for some reason. I actually understood more of the movie watching the documentary than the the actual film. Too much unnecessary action.

Glad that it was only rented.

I just saw Elf on dvd, i thought it was pretty good, a little cheezy, but really funny.

The Ladykillers - 7/10

Big, huge fan of the Coen Bros' movies; this is their latest. Tom Hanks in the lead role as dainty, erudite, Southern Professor G.H. Dorr. Nowhere near as funny as Raising Arizona, Barton Fink or The Big Lebowski, but there are some funny moments, and a lot of the trademark quirkiness typical of the Coen Bros. They've mellowed with success, unfortunately: no more raw edged, laugh out loud stuff.

Astronaut's Wife - 6/10

Johnny Depp / Charlize Theron vehicle that, despite the big names and big bucks, barely hangs on. Depp as an astronaut who comes back from a space flight mishap somehow...different, as illustrated through his wife, Theron. For all his critics, I happen to think Depp a very, very good actor. The scenario here is basically a Rosemary's Baby ripoff, all the way down to Theron sporting the blonde and way-short Mia Farrow hairdo. It's slick, stylish and fast-paced, but not very scary.

National Treasure - I wasn't really expecting too much, but aside from standard movie crap (ooooh, look at how bad a shot all the bad guys are!) it was very entertaining. Had a good few one liners in there too, which is always cool with me. Pretty good time waster, if nothing else.

Dodgeball
It was OK, to too bad. Its a rental at least.

Trainspotting
9/10

its a great story, i just dont have any time to write about it right now, about to head over to a mate's house for a bit

Team America...

Kinda funny, I guess. Not exactly rewatchable, but for what it was, decent...

The incredibles - 3/5, i didnt like some of the drawings of the characters but it was an amusing flix. *pat on the back for Pixar*
Swim Fan -2/5, typical crazy chick movie with unbelievable events taking place all throughout the movie

I saw Spiderman 2 on DVD for the first time today. Not being a fan of the first one, I didn't expect much, but I give it a 3 out of 5.

Garden State. Awesome movie, 9/10.

Last few I've seen on the NETFLIX.........

Ladykillers.....1/5
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.....4/5
Supersize Me.............4/5
Matchstick Men........4/5
Be Good, Smile Pretty.........5/5
Passion of the Christ.........2/5
The Girl Next Door.........2/5

At the moment I have The Alamo, Farenheit 9/11, and Butterfly Effect, so those will be my next reviews

"space is the place"
in a recently discovered 35 mm print with great sound....um....i am so far from objective about sun ra that it makes no sense to pretend to rate this. it is a film with/about sun ra.
it includes sequences that are about the revenge of the pianist.
how could a film like this be bad--or merely good--how could it not be--well....you get the idea.

Sleepers

My friend brought it over on DVD. Never seen it before. Great movie. I give it 4.5 stars.

The Big Green

Disney kids movie. group of misfits play a sport, become unlikely champions against rival team coached by bad guy... all very predictable, but good fun and quite well done, some funny parts.

2.5/5

Closer
4.5/5
So much more enjoyable than most of the nonsense relationship movies that come out. A little contrived at times, but had some real depth and decent dialogue.

And Natalie Portman is smoking hot.

Just got back from Finding Neverland.....great movie. Very well acted. 5/5

Mr. Deeds - 5/10. At times pretty funny, but more or less exactly the movie I expected. The scene that cracked me up was the Space Oddity sing along in the plane when they're bringing Deeds to New York toward the beginning of the movie. Oh, and I dug the Steve Buscemi and John Turturro characters. Borrowed the DVD from a friend who's a big Adam Sandler fan.

I saw two movies yesterday.
One was National Treasure in the theatre. It was a very good movie. This is the movie with Nicholas Cage and he and a group of people are searching for a buried treasure using clues from currency,etc. One clue leads to another. I recommend seeing it.

The other movie was Hero with Jet Li. I watched it at home. It was good for the action,special effects and color. I hated reading the whole time since it was spoken in Mandarin. I feel like the movie could have been done in about a half hour. It took too long to tell the story in my opinion. Altogether I would rate the claim as good, only because it seemed like it took a long time to think it up and it was different than most.

No Man's Land...

Well I'm devastated, this movie was fucking superb.

the last movie i watched was the latest Harry Potter...

the Prisoner of Azkaban

i suppose it would be a good movie to ppl who haven't read the book... but i found it really crap cause i enjoyed the book...
but i've said that about almost every book to movie i'v ever wathched...
i can't wait to see how they ruin the next book...

the Goblet of Fire.

We watched "I Robot" on the weekend. It was actually pretty good, though Asimov is rolling over in his grave, I suspect.

I was lucky enough to get to see a Director's screening of this movie last year sometime. I agree it was very, very good. 4/5

It's weird you say this because I have heard nothing but how amazing this movie is. I can't wait to get on the ol' Netflix

The last movie I just saw was Butterfly Effect (Director's Cut) -- never wanted to see it in the theaters, but heard good things. I thought the movie was very entertaining. Not the best acted, but cool story..... 3/5

In reference to finding neverland....
Wow that's pretty cool. How'd you get in on that? I saw it lastnight due to good reviews here and at Premieremag.com (my main source of reviews :)) and liked it. I think it could have been a little more visually artistic for the feel it was going for, but it was good overall. Jonny Deep is still great as usual.

9/10

angels in america 2.5 / 5

i want my 6 hours back
all i have heard is great things about this (so it had a lot to live up to)
i was very disappointed, i kept waiting for it to get better and it didn't
nicely shot, but often seems too much like a filmed play
characters only somewhat interesting, prone to pontificate about nonsense

Bought Spider-man 2 on DVD the other day and finally got around to watching it. A great representation of the comic series. 5/5
