last flick i saw was Love Actually.
this film is fun! it certainly wasnŽt as sappy as i was expecting. Working Title just seem to know how to make feel-good romantic comedies that make me cry (both happy and sad tears) and feel warm/fuzzy without making me want to vomit (unlike many others). the cast is great! if you like british comedy and drama, then you will know everyone! there are some very pointed jabs at the current American treatment of foreign policy as well as the current servile British response to such influence. iŽd love to know how this film was received in the states. i loved this movie, but in the end it did kind of make me uncomfortable (not having anyone this christmas to make a crazy play for...). iŽd give this one 5/5 (iŽm an easy marker) i also just saw Spellbound. now this is a sensational film/doco. based around eight childrensŽ preparation for the National Spelling Bee. since the Bee is such a uniquely American tradition it really was a hilarious glimpse into the real lives of Americans from extremely different backgrounds. there were scenes where the entire audience in the theatre was gasping at these children spelling words iŽd never even heard of. whoŽd have thought that watching a little group of super-nerd children spelling impossibly hard words would be so entertaining. i thoroughly recommend this film to everyone. 5/5

about a boy...with hugh grant
this is what's written on the back of the dvd Hugh Grant (Notting Hill, Bridget Jone's Diary) is simply brilliant in this comedy hit the critics are hailing "Hilarious!" (Premiere) Will Lightman (Grant) is a good-looking, smooth-talking bachelor whose primary goal in life is avoiding any kind of responsibility. But when he invents an imaginary son in order to meet attractive single moms, Will gets a hilarious lesson about life from a bright, but hopelessly geeky 12-year-old named Marcus. Now, as Will struggles to teach Marcus the art of being cool, Marcus teaches Will that you're never too old to grow up. About A Boy is the irrestible comedy smash that Richard Schikel of TIME Magazine says its "smart, funny, and winsome." i loved it more and more every time that i watched it, and once you do, you'll have that "shake ya ass" song by mytical stuck in your head for a while...i definatley give it 5 stars! go watch it, you'll like it!

The Believer - 7.0/10
A good movie but not as moving or powerful as American History X. The movie is left open for debate, but the subject of debate can never be an intelligent one. Plain and simple, It's a movie about self-hatred. It's changed my attitude about some subjects. I still don't understand the motivation behind the main character, but I don't think you're really meant to. I think a quote from the film sums it up best, "I hate and I love and who can tell me why?"

Ichi the Killer
rating 1-10 Acting: 9 Story: 7 Violence: 200 Gore: 100 overall twistedness: 400 My review: WARNING: DO NOT watch this film if you have violence or rape issues!!!!!!!!!! This film is full of scenes of extreme torture, rape, and mutilation. You have been warned. It's almost impossble to review this; You just have to see it for yourself. Ichi is played wonderfully, as is uber masochist-sadist Kakihara. Most other parts are played failrly well but Kakihara, played by Tadanobu Asano really steals the show overall. His speeches while being beaten are simple but evil. His body mods are cool and scary at once. Asano's potrayal of Kakihara as quiet and cool adds a sinister dimension to the character. Ichi is played excellently as the Boy-man-pushover-ultra-sadist-rapemonger. Nao Omori excellently captures all of these traits in one character and is very believable. synopsis: If you dont like subtitles don't bother. if you are not a person with a very morbid streak and like of gore you will not like this film. It genreally isn't something you watch with a female due to the overall extreme violence and rapes of women in the film. review with pics: http://mandiapple.com/snowblood/ichithekiller.htm

Donnie Darko on dvd.
a really awesome movie. it was a thinker, and there was a bunch to digest in one setting but it struck me on a lot of different levels. a very deep movie about life love and death. 10/10. enjoy...

I found this movie to be very enjoyable. It had me laughing out loud during several parts of the film, which is not something I do too often. It may not be the best movie I've seen, but it was definitely entertaining. ***/****

Big Fish
This is the latest from Tim Burton. It really wasn't what I expected going into this movie (then again, I didn't know what to expect), but I enjoyed it. The movie is about a dying man, and his estranged son's desire to get to know know him as he really was, rather than from the fantastic tall tales he told of his life. The best thing about this movie is the characters we meet throughout. The cast is amazing, and they all portray their characters very well. Don't look for too much action or humor. You won't find much. You'll just hear a number of good stories, with a pretty rewarding payoff at the end. ***/**** |

The Beach - 3/5
I saw about half of it when it came out, watched the other half the other night, combined with the first half that I had already seen. It was quite an adventure and I just think that the ending sucked. Leo should have died cause I hate him. Kty.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - 1/5 This was just awful.
Event Horizon - 5/5 Excellent horror/sci-fi mix. I obviously love this movie. Shredder - 2/5 Typical B-movie style slasher. I am a fan of the genre, and rate based off of 3 main things:humor, gore, and t&a. I would rather watch this again than TLEG (see above), but that isn't saying much. |

Das Experiment. German film about an experiment where people roleplay guards and prisoners in a psychological study. Very good movie and based on the "Stanford Prison Experiment" conducted in 1971. An american remake is forthcoming.

Last Samurai...... 1000/1000 the perfect movie (in my eyes)
Return of the King .....999/1000 could have been the perfect movie, and it came really close, but it lacked samurai. No Samurai = not perfect movie.

Scary Movie 3.
well, this one was easily the worst of the three. although iŽm totally smitten by Anna Farris (blonde hair, and that breathy voice is just all i need!!), she wasnŽt enough to save this film. some great scenes, (like the Michael Jackson fight scene) but hey, this was a flop. 2/5

Return of the King!!!!!
20000000/10 (in my opinion, it's the best movie that I've EVER seen, and thats saying something because I go to the theater a lot!) If you haven't seen it yet, go now and be sure to get tickets early or else it'll be sold out for sure! It's well worth having a very sore ass after 3 1/2 hours, tell all your friends to see it too!

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (category: fantasy/adventure) [rating: 10/10]
I am so incredibly blown away after just seeing this film no more than 30 minutes ago, and I haven't even read the books yet to fully appreciate it. It was truly an amazingly cinematic film, and had every ingredient to make it very watchable. For a 3 1/2 hour movie, it didn't seem like it. The CGI was VERY convincing, and had me jumping out of my seat a few times. In short, ROTK took the LOTR series to a dazzling new height! Near perfect! |

Last movie I saw was Blue Crush (2nd time viewing it) 3.5 out of 5 starts.
The story is typical but the acting is good and the cinematography is beautiful. If you have a good home theater this movie also uses sound to great effect.

The last movie that I saw was ROTK! O thought that it was amazing... Orlando Bloom is so HOT... okay.... well I would have to give it a 10/10. I would have given it a better rating but a woman sitting next to me answered her cell phone and talked on it during one of the most passionate scenes of the movie and I know that I didn't get the whole effect of the scene. I hate her for that. (not really.... just dislike very much). Anyways good movie all the way!

ROTK. I would agree with Starfish. 10/10. Not much could be done to make it a better movie (but I'm sure the Extended DVD will have some extra goodies to watch next year)

'Gladiator'. I had never seen this movie all the way through so I went out and bought it. And I must say I loved it. I give it a 5/5, 10/10, or whatever. Great movie indeed.

Last Samarui...when I first saw this in the theaters I got scared that this was gonna be a really bad movie making the samarui seem like souless characters. But the story was very well told, and all though it is Tom Cruise it still manages to be a very good acting job. One of the best action sequences since the Two Towers
