I'm sure that it's the best movie named after a Cure song, but it's
an extremely difficult movie to watch... especially if you are a
90210 fan, and really, who isn't? |

Not unwatchable, but a let down after The Sixth Sense. Bruce. Willis.

Getting ready to see Attack Of The Clones. This is a pretty good
movie, except for the 70s hair. But then, in the future they will
complain that seeing Natalie Portman's exposed stomach was so '00s.
Anyway, Star Wars is like the best indy B-movie ever. It's actually
pretty low key and a lot of fun. And with the new subwoofer, it
rocked the house! |

Cats

HBO |
|
| Cute,
fun, family entertainment. If you've got pet, you'll like it. The
only thing that I didn't like about it was the fact that they claim
that cats are "pure evil". They are not. |

|
| OK,
not the best movie, but it was entertaining. I like Brad Pitt, so
I know that it wouldn't be a waste of time. Like most movies these
days, it probably could have ended 15-20 minutes later. James Gandolfini
was good too. |

a theme throughout some of the Woody Allen movies. |

Shrek |

| I'm
not sure how much I like the non-Pixar CG movies. There's something
about the faces that I really didn't like. However, some of the
water effects were really cool. (I did a seminar in computer graphics
in college so I *almost* understand how this stuff works.) I really
didn't like the "modern" songs in the movie... but then...
it's not Disney. |

The
Man Who Wasn't There |
Theater |
|
| It's
amazing how the Coen brothers are either on or off. This time: off.
Don't get me wrong, the directing and composition were great...
the story was lacking. Billy Bob is fine, nothing great. I really
wasn't planning on seeing it, but since we've been trying to guess
what's going to be nominated for the Oscars (and it was $2), we
figured we'd give it a shot. Should have seen something else. |
| 23
Jan 2002 |
A
Beautiful Mind |
Theater |
|
| It
was alright... I mean Russell Crowe is Russell Crowse. Jennifer
Connelly is as beautiful as ever, but I almost didn't recognize
her by the end. I would have like the movie more if they would have
explained a bit more about a) how he did his math, codebreaking,
whatever, and b) how he overcame his illness. Ron Howard needs to
lay off the circle shots as well. Very unnecessary and annoying.
Oh... we had a really bad print in one of the reels and I could
barely hear anything. |

great period piece... Jason Lee is great. He's got wonderful phrasing.
I'd like to see the "bootleg" cut, because the music seems

Dr.
Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
|
DVD |
|
| A
perfect satire, if not completely absurd. It's interesting to see
the paranoia of the cold-war in comparison to life post-9/11. Peter
Sellars is a master. The trailer is on the DVD as well, and it's
rather interesting... nothing like I've ever seen from that era. |

Ocean's
Eleven |
Theater |
|
| The
exposition was so long that it made the move seem very slow. I really
liked the story, but the second half seemed almost rushed. Soderbergh
is a master director and the way that he introduced the characters
was fantasic, but I think that he could have done more with the
actual heist. I'd like the see the original. |

stellar! |

in an incredible performance. |

seeing this. He should win the best director Oscar for this
movie. |
