The last movie I saw for the first time was Collateral..and I LOVED it!
I normaly don't like Tom Cruise's acting..but he was brilliant in this movie. I'd strongly recommend it.
I'm the patron saint of the denial,
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal.
Evan Almighty- 5/5- I really liked the overrall message presented in the movie, and Steve Carrell is just hilarious. It was so funny. OMG, his beard!!! Especially when it is all braided...I cried...it was so funny. Or at least I thought it was!
Watched Stanley Cubric's The Shining just know, and I really liked it. Maybe I should have watched it at night, but I found it creepily (is that even a word?) hilarious. The faces that Jack makes, lol. I took one point of for all the screeching music that was very annoying, and another since the movie is mostly senseless. 8/10
"Dullness. Ethereal, ephemeral, allegorical dullness. The blunt boredom rises from the gorge of her insufferable lips and floats like the tiniest feather of a long dead bird until it lands, naked and tired memory next to your fleshy feet. But she is gone now, away, away, like all the others, away, away! Only I, poet man, has chosen to stay. And I welcome you, travelers, to the memory catacombs of the Brunnen-G!" (c) Poet Man
TRANSFORMERS (More than meets the eye) LOL sorry I can't say the word "transformers" without singing part of the opening theme from long ago....
anyway....it was ok...not a great storyline...but come on, it's a movie about robots turning into cars, jets, etc....I went to watch it to see the transformers and be transported back to my childhood...who cares what the plot was about! LOL

Recently saw -- Menace II Society starring Larenz Tate. 9/10
Review: It is rare to see a film which can appeal to unanticipated viewers with slices of unremitting brutality, bitterness and a sliver of truth. As a young resident in a society which pervasively corrupts itself and renders hope an unattainable aspiration like Providence to an atheist I found many aspects of the film which I could connect with and fathom. The actors contributed well to the realism of their characters and made me feel spontaneously empathetic. Such performances are rare to see because viewers nearly always feel obliged to sympathize with deceased characters rather than associate with their partings on a mutual level. The tone of the film is genuine yet surprisingly covert because its toll of foul language and grisly violence does much to enlighten a rational audience that something, if anything, must be done to curve the ideology in the ghetto that corruption is the ultimate gateway to success in a society which offers little else for a conventional breakthrough. It tells us of a problem at stake spreading like a virus through the next generation of a young and dynamic group of ghetto Negroes, and leaves us to individualistically figure a palliative.

I'd admit man, I almost cried, my eyes were red and weepy. Even more when Jack died. I even wrote a blog about it!
Shall these bones live?
I've seen a couple lately on TV.
Silence of the Lambs on Sunday ITV2
Die Hard on Monday ITV1
Mary Shelly's Frankensiein on Tuesday ITV2
Stop! Or my Mom will shoot on Wednesday ITV2
Lethal Weapon 3 ITV2 and Carrie yesterday (Thursday) Film4+1
My rating of them is I wouldn't have watched them if I didn't like them (or in the case of the last one it's a film mum quite likes and I'd only seen the last 5-10 minutes before. This time I missed about 3-5 minutes of the start, but I know what happened anyway)
I get to watch a lot of late night TV now I'm not at school anymore
No doubt but there is none other beeste comparable to the mightie dragon in awsome power and majestie, and few so worthie of the diligent studies of wise men - Gildas Magnus, Ars Draconis, 1465
Dangerous Beauty 3/10
Ugh, where do I start with this one...
I hated this movie, O.K, let me just start there. Hated this movie, and I have a lot to say about it. Right off the bat, with the very first shot and first line of dialouge, I knew this was going to be a chick flick. But, I'm the kind of person that usually tries to give something a fair chance. I knew what this movie would be, but I had to give it a fair chance. But I hated it. I will give multiple reasons.
1) Incredibly predictible. I knew pretty much where the movie was going, how it was going to get there, and where it would end up at all times. You surely cannot accuse this movie of keeping you guessing.
2) Incredibly cliche. This movie defines the word cliche.
3) The dialouge was so heavy-handed, it was ridculous. There aren't many movie where I actually roll my eyes or turn my back to the screen in disgust. This was one of them.
4) And this is most important; it was INCREDIBELY unbelievable. There is no way this would happen. Now, often times, I have had arguments with friends where I say that about a movie and they say, "you know it was based on a true story, right?" When somebody says that, it makes me want to punch them. Let me ask a question to anyone who has ever said that; do you know anything about Hollywood? They take these "true stories" and twist, exagerrate and change the facts so that the finished product almost inevitably fails to portray the actual events. I won't spoil the ending for those who haven't seen it and want to, so all I will say is this. Anyone who has read, or knows, anything about the Inquisition knows that it did not, would not and COULD not have happened that way. It just couldn't have and suspension of disbelief became impossible for me. Finding myself disgusted with the highly improbable, nay, impossible ending, I decided to look Veronica Franco up myself (potential spoilers ahead). Yeah, I found NO evidence whatsoever of things happening the way they were portrayed in the movie. In fact, the real Veronica Franico was left poor, destitute and publicly humilated upon her succesful defense of herself before the Inquisition. It is said she died a penniless outcast. Of course, the mindless masses wouldn't tolerate an ending like that, so it had to be Hollywooded up. And thus, I hated this movie.

Ratatoulli. 10/10 Loved it.
Ghost Rider 7/10. Good, but not really great. I enjoyed it, but my husband fell asleep so... I like most of the comic books made into movies, though.
Last movie i saw was "Identification of a Woman" by Michelangelo Antonioni. As always, i find his movies extremely interesting and thought provoking. 7/10 (having seen the rest of his movies like "La Notte", "The eclipse" , "Red desert", "The cry" which are rated 9/10 and 10/10, the comparison is inevitable. This is by no means a mediocre movie but it is lesser than the rest).
Through the darkness of future past

'Fire walk with me.'
Twin Peaks
Has anyone seen Freedom Writers? I highly recommend it. Hillary Swank is exceptional.
I'm having a lot of fun reading these movie posts. White Noise made me think of a movie that both my wife and absolutely are crazy for...Frequency with Dennis Quaid and Jim Kavizel. I rate it 11/10. It is entertaining, well done and makes you feel good.
If we see 2 minutes of it we are in for the duration.
Waitress...so fun...kinda campy...8
A Mighty Heart...lots of watching and waiting...7
Would you believe they both end the same?
This afternoon I saw Evening...10 10 10...can you tell I liked it?
