Letters From Iwo Jima - 9/10

The subtitles needed a shadow effect or borders, the flushed colors in the photography made them difficult to read at certain points. Excellent movie though, now I need to see are The Departed, Babel, Pan's Labyrinth, Volver and Little Miss Sunshine to get my 2006 fix before Oscar night. Should be easy, right?

 

The Royal Tenenbaums - 9/10

Typical Wes Anderson goodness with one of the best movie soundtracks ever, IMO.

Epic Movie:

 

I went in expecting the worst movie i have ever seen, so i came back atleast somewhat suprised that it wasn't completely terrible, it had a couple good laughs (OMG A TALKING BEAVER!), but the best part of it was: When it ended, I felt like I was, at most, thirty minutes into the movie. I actually thought the credits were a joke at first, but they just kept going.

 

 

The Departed

 

This was a great movie, but i was totally ADD and didn't really catch on to the story in the first half, but once i figured it out, i enjoyed it. Recomended for anyone who has a good attention span or is on high doses of Riddalin.

 

 

Next movie: Norbit (probably)

Epic Movie. 4/10 not the best movie ever but not the worst. I found this movie to be more enjoyable than Date movie but that's not really saying much. Some parts I actually laughed while some I just rolled my eyes. Maybe my feeling like I needed to watch a brain dead comedy tonight is leading me to have actually laughed who knows. I don't think I'll be watching it again for a while though.

The Good Shepherd

 

8/10

 

Good film, acting ensemble top rate. But very VERY dark and moves slower than most "action film" peeps would like it, heh heh.

 

Top role by Matt Damon certainly a tough one to move through. He does pretty good although I kept thinking there must have been some happiness in the guy's life, even later on in his 'career' etc.

 

But it's based mainly on facts known, so I don't envy the person OR the actor playing him, lol.

 

And you have to LISTEN to this movie. Not one you can crunch popcorn through, with. Important dialogue can be missed, with low sound here and there.

Definately Pan's Labyrinth: 9/10

Not a full 10/10 cuz the plot was a weebit confusing, and it was completley in Spanish, but overall it was greatly filmed, had great action and adventure and a few edge-of-your-seaters thrown in there. All-in-all, a wonderful movie. In my humble opinion of course.

I just saw The Night Listener with Robin Williams. It was a little slow in the beginning, but got to be really good. Its kind of a thriller I guess, but its a little different than some of the other movies out there.

 

7/10

 

If I had to guess, my wife liked it better. She'd probably give it an 8 or 9.

Shut Up and Sing - 8/10

 

This is the "documentary" about the aftermath and preceding days to the famous "Bush bashing" comment by the Dixie Chicks back in 2003.

 

This was a very funny film and a decent documentary although it seems to jump around a bit.

 

The funniest stuff is watching Bush and his cronies back in 2003 talk about what they "knew" to be fact in Iraq (WMDs), etc.

 

I'd highly recommend this, especially if you were one of those people that said you would "never ever" buy their music again.

 

Guess what folks, she was right all along. Bush was an idiot. lol

I just saw RENT last night.

 

Probably one of my favorite movies ever. Seriously, any movie that can make me almost cry because a drag queen died is a GOOD movie. Oh, and Idna Menzel is in the movie, which basically makes it completely awesome.

 

This film had so much going for it. It was enjoyable, but the editing really killed it for me. I loved it the first time I saw it, but after that it went downhill.

 

The broadway version blew it out of the water.

"The Messengers"

8/10

 

Movie Review!

The Messengers was an overall A movie! It had a pretty good storyline, and what i really liked about it was how it wasn't one of those "Based on a true story" movies. Or some crap like SAWIIIIII. It was unique.

 

The actors were mild, and what i also really liked was how the main character (Some cute girl) didn't have straight white teeth etc. She looked normal. So it helped me to be able to tie into the story a lot better.

 

The movie wasn't a, blood blood death movie! It had some really creepy crap in it. So kept you on the edge and can make you jump on numerous occasions.

 

So overall, good plot, good acting, good sets ETC. I enjoyed it.

Id for sure recommend it!
