| | | Interview With the Vampire...
Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Antonio Banderas and Kirsten Dunst gave some seriously ownage performances... even if the rest of the movie had sucked, i would have loved it just becuase of how cool the lead actors were. fortunately, the story was pretty good and the movie had a great horror atmosphere with some really nice gore. The only drawbacks were the pointless interview segments and the terrible ending. Other than that a very solid (although unscary) horror flick.

| | | ^I love Kirsten Dunst in that movie, the part where Tom Cruise's charactor is dying and asking Brad Pitt to put him in his coffin. Kirsten Dunst walks up to Tom Cruise and sneers "I'll put you in your coffin!" as she stabs him to death. That was awesome!

| | | I watched Anger Management for the first time the other day. I never cared for any previous Adam Sandler movies, but will say Anger Management was pretty funny. Maybe I just liked Jack Nicholson enough to overlook Sandler. In any case, if you want to have a few laughs, then watch this film. |

| | | I own that film, I thought it was so funny. I would give it a 5/5. It's really great. The funnist part though is in the deleted scenes. There is one with a candy bar which is really funny. I laughed so hard. |

| | | I saw Shrek 2 yesterday. I think it is a hillarious movie. I really liked the parodies they made on other movies, and the many other things. I give the movie a ****1/2 out of 5. I recomend to go see it. Sure its PG, but its hillarious. |

| | | I rented Iron Monkey becuase I was in the mood for some Yeun Wo-Ping. This guy is such an awesome fight choreographer. I watched the first half of the movie dubbed in English and I liked it but it seemed too much like a parody of itself, so I switched to subtitles and it was much better. The story was pretty stupid, but that's to be expected. The movie was hilarious and the action was amazing. Some of the moves these people pull off are just mindblowing. We need more choreography and less explosions in today's action movies.
***1/2 out of *****

| | | I saw Shrek 2 this afternoon.
Wow! I never expected the sequel to even come close the the original.
The original is such a classic, even though it's only 3 years old.
All I can say without spoiling it for anyone that has seen it, is go see it!
***** out of *****
In many ways it was funnier than the first. Which is saying a lot.
Pray for mercy!

| | I bought Bean on DVD the other day and just watched it. I hadn't seen it in a couple years. This movie is still funny. It still makes laugh. There are so many scenes that are great; "the ride of doom", "Whistler's Mother", the turkey scene and more. Very good.
Oh also, with a PG-13 rating, no need for a DVD filter, BGW Freak-nice new sig

| | I rented Timeline and watched it last night.
The critics trashed this movie to death. But it was ok to me. I have read the book and loved it.
For the most part the movie follows the book, except that they changed it in regard to Chris and the Professor's releationship. In the movie they are son/father, but in the book they aren't related.
I thought it was kind of weird that they did that, but oh well...
The action was pretty good, the acting was ok, nothing special. But it wasn't nearly as bad as the critics said it was.
I love British movies, so I was glad to see two veterans of Brit movies in the roles of the Professor (Billy Connolly) and Mereck (Gerard Butler).
Overall though, the movie was too slow  , which is surprising considering that Richard Donner last directed X-Men.
The movie is ok, if you want a movie about time travel and about the dark/middle ages.
I was surprised the movie followed the book as much as it did.
Overall, it held my interest, even though I knew what the ending would be, because of reading the book.
I'd give it 3 out 5 stars.

| | | I just saw Troy and Bowling for Columbine. Troy was better than I thought it was going to be 4/5. And even though I hate Michael Moore and the message he portrays in the movie, I thought it was a decent documentary. 3/5

| | | I just saw The Italian Job, and I really enjoyed it. The actors were all great, especially Charlize Theron, and the chase scenes were pretty cool. I would definitely recommend seeing it.
**** out of *****
I also watched ROTK yesterday, and it was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It was so boring I wanted to turn it off, but I kept it on, hoping to really understand what the hype was about. I loved the books, but these movies did absolutely nothing for me.
