Just screened Hoodwinked last night.

Excelent movie to bring the kids to while the adults will get a couple of laughs out of it too.

It's a really spontanious film depicted in the style of a three tier perspective story telling -- 3 people tell their storys and the strangeness makes sense witht the others. And the movie reference list is large, depictions of XXX, Matrix, Star Wars, and some more I can't even think of right now.

But seriously, this is really an indie film. (Aparently the entire animation was completed by two guys before it was oicked up by Weinstein) So don't diss it about not haveing the best visuals. -- I thought the visuals fit the dipiction of the story quite nicely.



You know, I've actually got nothing to say

I just got volumes 1 and 2 of Batman the animated series. Such an awesome show.

Now if only MGM would give up the rights on seasons 1 and 2 of Reboot and Fox would suck it up and release a box set for the Tick, I'd be very happy.

Watched:

1) Wedding Crashers and pissed down both legs.
2) Band Camp was alternately pissing and dry. Movie has its moments though.
3) The Cave was unoriginal and not at the same time. I liked it but I wouldn't analyze it to close.
4) Black Dawn was not a Seagal best. Was good but only good.

Saw Underworld 2 last night- kinda surprised me, it was pretty good. Goes a bit more into the lore of the story, fleshes some stuff out, and picks up well from where the first one left off.

Best part was in the previews though- LINK!?

I almost crapped my pants when I saw that. Scared the hell out of my friends too, when I was just staring blankly at them with a huge grin plastered on my face.

Good times. Good times. Looks to be a pretty good creative interpretation of the original- a few key changes, but the heart of it seems to be intact, which is what the series is about IMO.

So should be a good time.


Shameless plug.

Just finished Envy. It had its moments, like insane 5 minutes of laughing moments. But with Jack Black and Ben Stiller in the same movie, I expected more.

With Ben Stiller and Jack Black in the same movie, I expected less tbh. Then Christopher Walken shows up as J-Man, he had some pretty good lines. Anyway, I saw Envy several months ago and I thought it was pretty good.

Recently watched:
Versus - Wasn't very deep, but was very cool. Lots of fighting and zombies getting pwned and stuff. Like when the unarmed guy was fighting the guy who had two knives. Lot's of cool violence and no real message to be found ^^
The Matrix - This is still one of my favorite movies. There's too much about this movie that I like to list it all, so I'll give the abridged version: Good actors, good directors, good action, compelling story... I think that about sums it up.

List of movies to be watched in the near future:
- The Matrix: Reloaded (again)
- The Matrix: Revolutions (for the first time)
- Seven Samurai (is highly recommended by friends that have seen it)
- Equilibrium (again)
- Mononoke Hime (again, and definitely not dubbed)
- Narnia (bah... might as well)
- Samurai Champloo (again (I loved this series))

Last night I watched Killing Zoe (1994).

I didn't like it very much. Quentin Tarantino was executive producer, and there were many long conversation type scenes... but they weren't very well done or very memorable. There were many scenes in which I wish they had just cut away instead of forcing us to sit through it all. The story itself wasn't even that great (despite having both a monkey and a hiest... yeah Dane Cook wouldn't believe it).

I just finished watching Elephant (2003).

Visually I loved the colors, the short focus, the over the shoulder tracking shots, and the way the main character, John, looked and acted. However, Gus Van Saint has a propensity for long long shots which seem to drag on for an eternity. I could deal with it in the beginning (because the actor who played John was quite good) but later on it just got tedious and frustrating. The actor who played the jock in the lifeguard hoodie was just terrible.

Overall, the ending wasn't very good... they could have handled the shooting in a variety of more interesting ways. Also, the ending was pretty abrupt and didn't feel like it tied things together. I think they were going for an ending similar to Full Metal Jacket's M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E singalong, but it didn't have the same effect.

Just watch the trailer for Elephant, it's much more interesting (since they actually cut) and it'll give you a feel for the entire film.

I've just seen Saw and Saw 2. The guy who came-up with the plot should seek help ASAP. I think no further comments are necessary.

Saw 2 had nothing to do with the original creators of Saw. Just to note.

I saw Underworld 2 awhile ago. I loved it. It's probably the only movie I've ever seen which isn't as much a sequel, but an extension of the previous movie.

And I'm going to crap my pants when I see Silent Hill.

Yesterday, I watched part of the surf documentary Riding Giants,
and I was really enjoying it. Unfortunately some potsmokers set
off the fire alarm and we all had to evacuate so I couldn't finish it
off.



Ironically, I watched the first 30 minutes of Half-Baked at my friends
room before losing interest and going home. I hate Jim Breuer, but
Dave Chappelle is great.

Watched my new stolen version of Zorro. Was OK I guess, if you like Banderas.

Was digging through my old black/whites. We need to make a list of truly classic old-time movies.

Anyone besides me like classics?

I was also searching google. I just remembered that Guy Williams did the last Zorro. When I was a kid, he did John Robinson of Lost in space. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Anyway, back on topic:

Just finished "The Man"

I discovered that my urinary producing processes are not up to the task. I ran clear out of pee watching this one. Funny as hell just falls way short describing this one. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif">

Speaking of black/whites I watched The Maltese Falcon a few days ago. Bogart is the man. The movie is apparently in the top 25 of AFI's top 100 movies of all time. Despite a few editing/cutting errors I'd tend to agree. The story is amazing, and the ending unparalelled.

I saw "The Man" tonight ... as well ... It has that horrid cookie cutter formula with known celebrities slapped on to make it "watchable". However, besides that: It's pretty goddamned funny. I was really surprised.

I also watched part of "Deadly Outlaw Rekka" ... made by Takashi Miike, Itchy the Killer. The plot is like 0% ... it's just violent. If you want to see a crow bar go through a guys face ... this movie is for you. If you want to see an RPG rocket ram someone in the gut .... this movie is for you. If you want an ending that makes absolutly no sense ... this movie is for you.

I'll see "Lord of War" tomorrow (best chances) ... I hear it's good, but the characters will piss [you] off. I'll post something up here if I remember.
