I saw a pic of her from some awards show recently, she looked anorexic...not good at all. Apparently there's some history of eating disorders in her family.

6.5/10

Yes, I was surprisingly underwhelmed by both this movie and Munich. Both had great actors, great stories, and suitable levels of gravitas. But they doled out the dramatic tension in such miniscule bits hither and yon, they failed to grab me. Narratively speaking, they weren't nearly as powerful as they should have been. Certainly watchable once, but that's about it.

Cry Wolf - fucking God awful movie.

Wasabi (subbed)

3/10

I got this because it was directed by Luc Besson (from The Professional/Leon). The whole movie is an ego trip for Luc. Linear boring plot. The Japanese chick in it is hot, though.

Bridget Jones' Diary 9/10
Now I can enjoy a chickflick as much as a woman can, but there is a limit. This movie is the pinnacle of Chick Flickism, and they made sure there was nothing in there to enjoy for a man. Since I hated it, it did its work as a chickflick supremely well. The only reason I didnt give it a 10 is because I had a chuckle once.

Magdalena Sisters - 3/10. Totally pointless movie about irish girls in a monastary. Runtime is about 18 days and nothing exciting happens, ever.

Pirates of the Carribean 2 - 3/10

What a piece of shit. 2.5 hours long and the only bit of plot happens in the last fucking 15 minutes, LITERALLY!
It's like the producers were saying 3/4 through the movie "Hmmmm, there's no more trilogy movies out there right now so why don't we make a pointless sequel!?"

I love how the 1st Austin Powers film addressed this

Punch-drunk Love.

Nice little tale.

Sandler redeemed himself in my book.

Enjoyed the whole cannibal scene, some nice inventive things there, but after that it kind of fell flat.

Was shifting buttocks, wondering 'when is this going to end?', and then, when it did, it felt rushed and about the lamest interlude to another sequel I've seen.

Still going to see PotC3, though :icon30:

In the land of the blind One-Eyed is king, and all that.

Jarhead 7/10

Pretty good.

Post by **werldhed** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 6:45 pm

The Italian Job (the original) - 3/10 Uninteresting, unrealistic, unfunny, and uninspired. Michael Caine wasn't even any good in it. A few parts of the Mini chase were cool, but that's about it.

Murder on the Orient Express - 8/10 Classic whodunnit. The ending was predictible, but the way Poirot comes to his conclusions is interesting. It would have been better if there was more setting than just the train (a la Silver Streak), but I'll let that slide. Great acting all around, except for a laughable death scene. More character development would be nice, too, I guess, but that's getting picky.

I would give dead man's chest a 8/10 but because it was unecessarily long I'm dumping it to 7/10

that movie's idea's been done to death in the past, but I guess for the next generation it would be an educational one

No it hasn't.

Chaos - 2/10

utter rubbish. pretentious premise, script that tries too hard, semi-competent direction, and some abysmal acting thrown in

plus jason statham's pisspoor american accent makes another ill-fated appearance

Sandler redeemed himself in my book.

w3rd he plays that role quite well. also its good the director didnt make him play his standard comedy routine.

the cinematography of that movie is also brilliant. the fact that in his 'realm' (his office) the overwhelming color is blue, and in her realm its red.
also, what i found to be brilliant was when he arrives in Hawaii and he's trying to call the girl (name escapes me atm.. Lena ?) on the payphone.. its late in the afternoon when he starts his telecommunative quest, and the second he finally reaches her all the street lights go on. great stuff :icon14:

These words are razors to my wounded heart

For a war movie, i thought it took a pretty uncommon stand on things. No real action, a little drama here and there, pretty bland stuff. Meant as one guy's somewhat dissapointed story of his experiences in the second gulf war.

now I feel bad, thanx

Isn't it placed in the first Gulf war (if you don't count Iraq vs Iran in the 80's?)
