Bob Roberts 8/10

A rightwing folksinger runs a crooked election campaign.

I have a weak spot for stuff about evil manipulators, especially when they use a particulary hilarious angle to achieve their wicked goals

Ghassan Massoud (Saladin) is the only one on the stage who commands your attention...and he's got oh maybe 25 lines or so. :/ Ridley fouls one off into the opposing team's dugout.

I hear tell the 4+ hr director's cut is where its at. I haven't seen either though.

i have. its the most generic boring piece of midieval crap ever. hey we got a bluefilter, lets use it all through the movie cause that makes it look more like the dark ages!
now lets get that elven faggot to look stout again. gg !

Dave Chapelle's Block Party

8/10

FanTAStic music and concert footage, but not as much comedy as I would've liked...I Chapelle!

underworld evolution - 6/10

nothing new. i liked the first one. this one was just the same concept again. but less amusing.

Lake Placid 2/10

So absolutely fucking terrible i had to keep watching.
Amazingly somewhere someone in authority said of this movie 'It's okay guys, we can release this'.

Final Destination 3 - 5/10

basic popcorn stuff, no real surprises. i skipped the 2nd movie, but this is pretty much the same premise as the first movie

but my god those fucking annoying american high school kids...

Raising Arizona - man i love the coen brothers. Specially their older stuff.

There's one scene in there that shawshank ripped off

Saw: 5/10. Moments of creepiness to be sure, but on the whole it feels like it is based on a short story that some high school kid turned in at creative writing camp, trying to be all Clive Barker n' shit. Unfortunately for him, only Clive Barker can write a good Clive Barker short story.

Alien 3 starting in 8 mnts on D Channel The discovery. 2 1/2 hrs.

Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo 10/10

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086999/

It doesn't get much better than this my friends.

Gigi - 2/10. Winner of 9 Academy Awards, a BAFTA, some Golden Globes, a Grammy, and a bunch of other rubbish.
Every one of them well-deserved to be shoved up Eva Gabor's hole. It's a musical that, as far as I can tell, is about pedophiles. The opening song is "Thank Heaven for Little Girls," as sung by a very creepy Maurice Chevalier, who walks in the park eyeing preteens. Sweeeeeeeet...

Sunday Afternoon in the Park with George - ?/10. About Georges Seurat. Another musical, this time a recording of a live performance. I didn't get to see the whole thing, but I'd like to. It was pretty good, and Mandy Patinkin is ace, as usual.

Without a Clue - 7/10. Sherlock Holmes parody. It's nothing special, but it's meant to be a comedy and it made me laugh, so I liked it. Plus, Michael Caine and Ben Kingsley are geniuses.

Hey, you owe me 7 dollars.

American History X - 8/10.

Good movie, but pretty damn depressing.

Oh, and further proof that Edward Norton is the man.

flightplan: 6/10 very overrated, logic plot holes are ignored as they try to trick the audience with a cheap plot. Once you realize the trick 2/3's through, the movie falls into the gutter

The Shield - Season 4

9/10. Excellent, as were the first 3 seasons.

Tale of Two Sisters
meh/yay

korean thriller. it has a good story with some decent twists but its so chaotically constructed that the twists get drowned out

Yeah, I feel they could have stopped at the first one. Apparently it's predestined to be a trilogy though =/

yep... i saw a making of ~ they said the whole team was looking forward to make part 3.

Underworld 2 was utterly awful. It was 90 minutes of nothing at all. The fight scenes were boring and the characters are boring. The end scene where she discovers she can go in daylight was supposed to be some big dramatic scene where the audience is all excited about the 3rd film but, really, did anyone actually care?

The pair of them were so drab.

Full Metal Jacket - 8/10

Gunny is the fucking man

wait, this may be because I kept falling asleep, but I thought at the end all the vampires and werewolves and shit turned back into humans and that's why she could go into sunlight?

Unforgiven: 9/10

Clint Eastwood is the fucking man. I kept trying to figure out who, between him as Bill Munny and Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer, was more badass. Every actor in this movie is incredible, and when you've got the likes of Clint backed up by Morgan Freeman and Gene Hackman, you know you're in for a treat.

Clint's direction is incredibly assured, although I noticed pretty bad lighting in a few scenes and the DP definitely deserves to be slapped for not making this the best movie it could possibly be. The script is good, the pacing is generally good, and there's really not much to say except that this is to the modern western what Stagecoach was to the genre back in the day (that is to say it's a "superwestern" as Andre Bazin called Stagecoach).

It had some excellent acting performances with good sub-story and dialog writing but absolutely fucking zero in terms of an overall coherent, worthwhile story....it felt like an episode of Family Guy with no real plot or story backbone because the director never bothered connecting everything together.

When it was over I wondered why I watched it. It was the same feeling I got for Castaway and The Thin Red Line...a movie that was nothing more than an excuse for cinematography experimentation with a bunch of popular actors to add to the "respectablity" factor.

Man Castaway is one of my favorite movies ever.
