Movies
What movies have you seen lately, whether it be at the theater or rentals? I've seen these within the past few days:
Jeepers Creepers 2 What a disappointment. In fact, this was crap. The Creeper was cool as hell, but those damn kids were horrible actors given shitty lines. I wanted them all to die. On top of that, the movie wasn't even scary. Underworld Another disappointment. The best performance was given by Kate Beckinsdale's sweet ass proudly displayed in tight leather. The plot had great potential, but poor execution. And why the fuck do vampires always look like damn Versace models? American Wedding Definitely the worst out of the 3 American Pie films, but still a good time, especially the bachelor party scene. They should have just called this movie The Steve Stifmeister Show. The movie centered around him, while the actual wedding was a background story. The Last Samurai A masterpiece, even if it is Dances With Wolves with Tom Cruise and Samurai instead of Indians. Lots of blood, great acting, and a good story. Love the whole "die with honor" thing. One of the best of 2003.

Holy crap Dreamlord I've seen 3 of 4 movies you listed very recently and was going to comment on them. Spooky well maybe not hehe
Underworld: I like this movie for just entertainment value. No there weren't any great character development; and yes it was extremely predictable; but there was something there that just keep me entertained enough to make me happy for it. A sequel seems extremely likely LOTR ~ Return of the Kings: The final of the three and definitely a classic. I won't get into this movie cause there is a seperate thread for it, but I'll just say this; kept me happy in everyway American Wedding: It's pretty good but no where near as good as the first two The Last Samuri: Beautiful imagery done, story line is decent and the character growth was decent. I really great movie indeed Kill Bill: Huge disappointment, I expected so much more outta it, but found that it just didn't entertain me. |

Underworld
For as good as this movie could have been, I was not at all impressed. I watched it once, and forced myself to sit through it for the sheer principal of finishing the movie. I was almost tempted to go to Blockbuster and say the DVD was scratched so I could exchange it. Return of the King Really, what more is there to say? Classic. American Wedding I loved the dance Stiffler does in the bar. That was great. Mostly because it reminded me of a friend of mine. It was funny. But over all, the worst of the three. Amelie Recently saw this, and it wasn't the French love flick I was expecting. It was actually really nice. I liked it. Had some beautiful camera angles, and was filmed pretty off the wall. Haven't seen The Last Samurai yet. But with two positive reviews, I just might.

![]() The Return of the King No need to say a word. ![]() Tomcats I avoided this like the plague for a long time, my buddy forced me to watch it the other night, it was damn funny. Basketball Just watched this for the second time, I saw it on opening night 5+ years ago and forgot everything about it so it was like a new movie. Cool. Idenity Were I not rip roaring drunk at the time, I would have really enjoyed this movie. Unfortunately, I was. No, make that fortunately. I love being drunk. Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Best. Comedy. Ever. |

at least for mei recently saw "a beautiful mind" as well, and it was very good. i was surprised to see russel crowe acting that well, i thought he was more of the schwarznegger type after seeing gladiator, but how wrong i was. "memento". a great film as well, i liked that sort of backwards storytelling and i found it, especially the end, pretty disturbing. recomended anyhow

LOTR: Return of the King - duh.
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen - worst. movie. ever. And I love comic books. Daredevil - surprisingly good, and hot damn, Jennifer Garner is now a perma-fixture in my mastubatory fantasies. The Mighty Wind - fucking brilliant. At first I was like, "huh? How can the Spinal Tap guys make a good movie about folk music?" All I can say is this movie is fucking kick-ass. See it. And I'm more excited to see Big Fish than I have been about any other movie in a long, long time.

The last three years, I've seen 3 movies in a movie theatre:
* The Lord of the Rings * The Two Towers * The Return of the King ...all a bit after their premieres. I must say, they're fucking good. I don't remember all of the two first, but the third was spectacular... Minas Tirith... How the FLYING FUCK do they do these things? The ending (i.e. what happens after the world is saved and all) felt a bit slow but I guess that's there to stay true to the book. I plan to buy all three on DVD when the inevitable super deluxe 51-disc extended version compilation comes out. |

![]() Then my father went ahead and got me The Two Towers extended special edition for X-Mas, so now I'm stuck anyways. Oh well, I'll still buy the mega pack. I wonder how many DVDs it will in fact be? Figure each of the special editions is already 4. The trilogy will probably ring in about 15 discs. Yikes.
