I watched about 2/3rds of Ratatouille and I turned it off.. I don't know why but the movie fell flat to me. Maybe I have something against rats or boring voice actors.. I dunno. Can't say this is the first time I felt this way about a pixar film. I thought The Incredibles was decent at best. It felt more like an action disney film than a pixar adventure film. Cars just had too much frickin pop culture dragging it down. By Pop Culture I mean Larry the Cable Guy's recycled jokes. I liked Patton Oswald as the lil rat dude but almost none of the other voices really stuck out. With my favorite Pixar film, Monster's inc, The voice acting was just awesome. Crystal, Goodman, and Buscemi, all had the perfect voices for their characters not to mention that Billy Crystal and John Goodman had great comedic chemistry. Just to know what I thought about it, It'd give it a 4/10. However, it's probably more like a 7.5-8/10 if I weren't a jaded film watcher.

Employee of the Month [2006](Dane Cook, Jessica Simpson, Dax Shephard) 7/10
[Buy - Rent - Download - Avoid]

A good amount of laughs in this relatively fast-paced comedy. Dane Cook is pretty much still Dane Cook, though perhaps a bit less wacky. If you like Dane Cook as a personality, you'll like this movie more. If you don't like Dane Cook's personality/tone/humor, you'll likely give it the same 7 I gave it. In all reality, Jessica Simpson's presence and insane amounts of cleavage throughout the entire movie probably influences my vote a little, putting it at 7 instead of 6.5. She's just that nice to look at.

Not to discount the movie too much, though, it's got some good lines here and there, but isn't something you'll laugh all the way through. Dax is surprisingly good. Andy Dick is great and hilarious because he's NOT being "Andy Dick" in usual form. Harland Williams is great, as usual. Tim Bagley, who plays the boss, is awesome. His small-ish part steals every scene he's in.

Just finished watching The F Word which I recorded off IFC last night. At first glance it's a Documentary of an Independent Radio station's last broadcast. The Broadcaster decides to go to the Rallies and Protests that took place in NYC during the 2004 Republican National Convention that was held in NYC. It mixes real footage with actors and it's very hard to tell what's real and what isn't. I personally thought it was a real Doc. until near the end when I because suspicious and checked it out on imdb. It was well done and since it was following a liberal rally there was alot more liberal opinions being tossed around than Conservative ones. I personally enjoyed some of the quotes that were tossed around doing the film. The "Go home, Shut up and Enjoy your freedom." quote put good little grin on my face.
I enjoyed it I gotta give it an 8/10.

one of the worst films i have ever sat through.

what happens:
this pretentious french student-type that you dont care about dominates other french student-types that you dont care about. he, the pretentious french student-type that you dont care about, makes a series of speeches that you dont care about on the topic of writing and how it "must be authentic" and then he quotes karl karus a bunch of times, in situations that you dont care about. then something you dont care about happens to this pretentious french student-type that you dont care about which causes his stock that you dont care about to diminish amongst the other french student-types that you dont care about.

then, days later, the film stops.

The Condemned - 4 / 10. This movie is not good. I wasn't expecting much, but I got a little less. The first half was much better than the second half.

Slither - 4 / 10. Thank god I didn't pay for this movie. It was pretty brutal. It did make me laugh a few times, but it made me laugh at the wrong times, the times when it wasn't trying to. Not a good movie, but worth a watch for free if nothing else is on.

Mr. Brooks - 7 / 10. This movie surprised me. It was better than I expected. It's worth a watch. I'm not quite sure how to explain it. It isn't a great movie, and the acting isn't exactly top notch. But KC does a better job than I expected and it did have its moments. Decent flick.

The Edge of Heaven. 7/10

Turkish-German film involving prostitution, lesbians, death, inequality, idealism, immigration, the EU, asylum, and forgiveness. Pretty good, though the first part was a little over-the-top in terms of complexity... I didn't think it was really necessary for the film (but we saw it for free, so I can't complain).

Grindhouse: Terror Planet: 7/10 great genre piece. Loved the effects.

Lucky Number Slevin: 40 mins into this one, so far very entertaining, 8/10 at this point.

The Wind that Shakes the Barley

Set in 1920s Ireland just before the peace treaty with Britain. Two brothers divided within the IRA. Its not one of those movies you watch with a bunch of other movies. Its just too powerful. Great performances and gut wrenching scenes of oppression.
9/10

The Lives of Others

Set in East Germany during the Cold War. Stasi officer monitors the lives of two artists and becomes personally involved in their lives risking his own career in the process. Surprisingly predictable but worth the watch. Subtitled.

7/10

All I have to say is WOW. I haven't had this much fun watching a show since the first season of LOST. I can't believe FOX would cancel it. Well, I guess you can add one more person to the legion of fanboys pissed off about the cancellation of such a great series.

King Kong

I saw the remake today on cable. I had never seen the entire movie before. Good movie, but I would knock off many points because of the sad ending. I don't like sad endings. There was one point where King Kong kept setting Anne on her feet, knocking her over with his finger, then setting her on her feet so he could do it again. He was laughing and having a grand old time. When she yelled "no" and "enough" at him, he went on a distructive rampage throwing a temper tantrum. My dad laughed when I made the comment "typical male." (ok, so it was more like a typical preadolescent male, but reminded me of my ex husband.)

The Stepford Wives (remake) - 4/10

There were some funny moments, but this movie has the biggest plot hole ever. I can't overlook that because it bothers me so much.

Serenity - 8/10

As mentioned a few posts earlier, I fell in love the show so obviously I had to watch the movie based on it. It was pretty good, although I liked the feel of the show better. I felt that the story told within the 2 hours of the movie's length should've been stretched out over a couple of 1 hour episodes were the series still on the air.

second view.
i really like this film, more this time than the first, even.
it's a bit hard to imagine jim carrey giving an understated performance, but this is one, and its quite affecting. kate winslett is actually good in it too.
but it's the script and the visuals that make this a fine film.
and the sound.
it was almost enough to make me interested in polyphonic spree. almost.

As LS had never seen the ODD COUPLE, we decided to get the DVD and watch it. It's coming to dinner theatre (the Carousel) in Jan. and I used the movie to coax her into wanting to see the stage show.

It's one of my all time favorite movies, no matter how often I watch it the final argument scene always has me laughing until I cry. This time around it was no different.

The only part I find slow is the whole Pigeon Sisters scene and I think it is because I have seen it so many times I know the lines by heart or it's because the actresses are lousy. But it does set the scene up for the final argument and climax of the movie.

Overall still one of my top 5 favorites of all time...... one of the funniest movies ever.

And let's not forget Lemmon's clearing his sinuses in the restaurant.

Now, when does Barefoot in the Park come?

Wet Hot American Summer -- 3.5/10

When I read the description on Netflix and saw all the names of familiar actors in this movie, I got pretty excited. Unfortunately, the movie started out mediocre and went downhill until the end. When the credits rolled, the first thing to come to my mind was, "Thank God." The movie takes place at a summer camp, and that's exactly what it reminded me of.... a group of teens making up a play to perform at the talent show, spending a total of about 3 hours planning and writing the script. There were quite a few moments that may have seemed funny on paper, but in reality they were either too weird or just lame. Don't waste your time.

capricious summer (jiri menzel)

a diverting enough little 1968 czech film in which nothing happens.
three guys go swimming.
a cheap circus comes to town.
the arrival generates a brief period of sexual tension as a result of which some ambiguous events may or may not occur.
most when it is dark.
so it's hard to see.
two of the three guys who were swimming at the outset end up wearing either a sling or a bandage.
the cheap circus leaves.

strange thing is that the film is kinda cool, in that sense i assume finding oneself in a czech country town in june of 1968 can be. the june 1968 seems important somehow, but more for a viewer like me than for anyone in the film.

one guy likes to go swimming while smoking a cigar tho.

uh......

if you find yourself tired of watching films in which lots of stuff happens and would prefer one that lets you kind of hover in a place that you would not have otherwise hovered for 74 minutes, and which puts you in the position of never quite knowing what is going on because the subtitles are surreal, they cannot possibly be accurate, then check this out.

The new Cohen Bros. film. I like most of their stuff quite a bit, and I liked this one. It's quite a departure for them, in just about every way. It doesn't look or even feel like a Cohen Bros. film. Which is kind of refreshing.

Much has been made of Javier Bardem's performance, but it was Josh Brolin who captured my interest in this one. A very nice piece of acting.

A very good movie with a very frustrating ending. Which makes me like it even more.

If nothing else, it was interesting to watch. The first hour or so is awesome. Josh Brolin was excellent. I need to see it again, my brother started talking too much at the very end and I missed Tommy Lee Jones story.

Live Free or Die Hard (Unrated) - 8 / 10. I really enjoyed this one. I like them all about equally for many different reasons. This kept pretty true to the character though. I was quite surprised as I was expecting a pure suckfest.

Beowulf - 4 / 10. I thought this was a suckfest. I just couldn't handle it. Way WAY too much "I AM BEOWULF!!!!" over and over and over and over... I just thought they were trying too hard. I got extremely bored and had lost interest in it, as a result I couldn't enjoy the fun parts.

Checked No Country for Old Men last night. I think it might be the best the Coens have done, and I'm a total Lebowski fanboy. As far as the ending is concerned, if you think about the convo between the sheriff and his buddy, and his dream, you can deduce what happens next. Still slightly disappointing they didn't show it, but a very satisfying flick nonetheless. I rated it a 9/10 on IMDB, and I stick by it.
