I need to sit down and blink VERY hard. You mean 2001: A Space Oddyssey. 2001: A Space OddysseyGreat Movie, slow at times, but classic. It was disturbing for me to seew H.A.L Take life support out. And the end was a trip. Starchild is a strange concept. I now dodge giant black towers. Also, if anyone somehow hasn't seen this movie yet, watch it, and you'll get so many more Futurama jokes. A+Terminator 2: Judgement DayAwsome! Robots, the future, needless violence, and John Connor stealing pin numbers. I can't believe I hadn't previously seen this. And the end was perfect! There shouldn't have been a T3. Go to hell, anyone who liked that movie! A+AliensThis was pretty action packed. Also, it has some really great lines. But seeing ChestBursters made it even better. A

Also, the bad guys won! WTF H4X! Also, I know it's been out for ages, but I still haven't seen every film ever made, so I'm still catching up on some stuff.
I also saw Constantine too, and that was about the same, nice CGI, interesting concept/adaption, but it didn't satisfy my movie monster, that I call "Eduardo"! I watched Night Watch last night, I enjoyed it, and I knew it was going to get all complicated, as it's the first part of a trilogy - these things normally do. Needless to say, its randomness is among its best parts. Would look forward to the next film.

What, Show is the only other one who saw Akeelah and the Bee?
It was a great movie- very strange pacing at the beginning which made me think it might not be so great, but after the first ten minutes or so it all evens out. The acting was great all around, especially the kids, the story was refreshing with lots of possible cliche endings that they could've used, but didn't. The ending was a bit predictable, but enjoyable all the same. What surprised me is how clever it was- there were a lot of pretty hilarious moments.
"Yeah, spelling bees are serious shit!"

A History of Violence: I'm not entirely sure whwther or not I reviewed this yet or not, but whatever. An all around entertaining film, lots of bloodshed, Aragorn actually gets to kick a lot more ass than he ever did in any of the LOTR movies, simply because killing a few gangsters who mean business is way cooler than killing millions of orcs who are all such incredible pussies that not one of them can even get a hack in when he's fighting about 1000 at a time. A bit stereotypical of small town America and family at times, but it can be forgiven. A solid B+.

well i did read the Tony Hawk autobiography, twice! honestly that and the outsiders are maybe the only books that I have ever read all the way through when you're put into special education, not many people expect you to read The Doorswhoa, weird movie they go out to the desert and get stoned. they get stoned at a night club, hell where dont they get stoned in this movie? I have a feeling that Oliver Stone did not have all his facts straight Val Kilmer does a great Jim Morrison. B

I want a crack at Narnia Because I've read the book.
Boring tripe. The script was written by mathematician, the CG was touch and go and the battle was a letdown. It didn't have anything on any of the LOTR films and was nowhere as atmospheric. The only good things? Its large budget made it look shiny and the centaurs. I like centaurs.
I would have fallen asleep, but my seven year old cousin doesn't know when to stop asking questions.
My advice is don't see it, and dig out the dramatised BBC radio version. Heck, you could even read the book. Just avoid everything to do with the new film. By 2010, no one will remember it.

The Art of WarWell, I never saw while it was played in the theaters, and actually I only bought the DVD because it was at a really low price. Didn't expect much from it, the plot wasn't really something that made much sense (UN uses covert operation team to basically backmail countries to sign certain treaties.), but who expect that from a movie with Wesley Snipes. Still some nice action sequences, so it's some okay entertainment if you have nothing to do for some 90 minutes. Score: B- (Because I'm a nice person)

Springtime for Hitler: The MovieThe Producers
The movie about a play based on a play about a play based on a movie about a play was great. I liked how some of the Broadway cast(including Broderick and Lane) did the movie. My favourite part has to be Springtime for Hitler. Seriously, just look at the name of that part of the movie. "Springtime"..."for Hitler"... Brilliant!
In short, great movie. I wish the play version wasn't rated "R" on a scale of "G, PG, and R" by MTI. I'd like to do the show, but the show is quite to risque for my high school, because (1)I go to a high school and (2)my community would not accept some of the themes in the show. Mel Brooks is preparing a "PG" version of the show for people like my school that might be sacked, tarred, feathered, quartered, beheaded, drawn, quartered again, and possibly beheaded again for safe measures.
Anyway, enough of my rambling. I give this piece of cinema....
4¾ stars out of 5½.

The Phone Booth
I was pleasantly surprised by this.
The set doesn't move more than one block, and the main character not five metres, but the pace is insane. Think “a cheetah in a Chevrolet” fast. Think “a cheetah on performance enhancing drugs in a souped up Chevrolet” fast.
No really, this guy (anyone heard of Colin Farrell?) doesn't move away from his phone booth for 60 minutes, and I was still tearing my eyebrows out with the tension.
Great stuff. The only sticky spots were where the script started to turn up at the edges; even Colin’s great acting couldn't hide them. Apart from that, the camerawork was great, it was excellently written, well acted and in general, a good watch.
Better yet, I doubt it costs anything to buy anymore...
B-

The script was written by mathematician, Just like the book. Slither (the new one) Crap. A big pile of shit. But worth seeing, nonetheless. Because it's funny crap. And Nathan "fucking" Fillion fucking swearing the fucking blue fucking flying fuckety fuck out of fucking everything is fucking hilarious. It really fucking is. Damnation. I've given away the best lines now. They've all got "fuck" in them somewhere. Mindless drivelling wank, from start to finish. Formulaic, predictable, cool but overutilised CG, nipples, and Captain Reynolds. It all adds up to make a film that you should only ever see whilst pissed/stoned/insert local alternative, or if you need background noise/motion to having sex/making out with your girl/boy/furry friend. Which means that you would need it on DVD. In conclusion, it's an awful film that you need to see to appreciate, and should own on DVD as soon as it is released. Comparable to Tremors, except that Tremors is also a damn good movie. Edit: Zog, go suck off a leopard. ------------------

X-Men 3: The Last StandHmmm, I was hungover and about half an hour out of bed with no breakfast when I saw this this afternoon, so that may be why I only thought this was an ok film. X2 was better I thought. If you've seen the trailer you know there's a funeral, but it's not just one X Man/Woman who gets killed off/doesn't appear much, and I thought that sucked ass, it seemed like the whole film was being done with a skeleton cast! And I think the plot suffered from "end of the series"-ness. Cyclops, Xavier, Rogue, Mystique, Angel all have bugger all to do and there's no gambit or Nightcrawler. That said, there was some cool shit happening and mutant pwnage of stuff, some great action setpieces. C

X-Men 3 What. The. Bloody. Hell. I'm going to need about a week to completely change my X-Men mythos worldview and then go see it again before I decide how much I actually like it.
It was rather pretty to look at, though.

Quiet Zogonif! It will be the last for me if they carry on making like that! Yeah I didn't stay for after the credits but I read what happened, a call back to what Xavier was showing kids on the video before! Bring back Singer dammit.

X-Men 3My jaw was simply hanging flimsily open by its bottom hinges several times. I'm still not sure if I absolutly loved it or if I hated it. MAJOR SPOILER BELOW, DO NOT HIGHLIGHT UNLESS YOU DO NOT CARE. Professor X had the best death scene, but I was in shock for the next 10 minutes after he died. My girlfriend is a much bigger nerd than I am, and she's been buying like every issue of X-men for the last 10 years. Needless to say I got some action after I took her to this movie. Anyway, I think after a first impression, I'll give it a 7 or a 7.5(Solid B) out of 10. It was a tad melodramatic at times, some of the dialouge was poorly written, and they tried to cram a bit too much in, but there were some really cool scenes. My girlfriend wants another one made, but I thought that this would be a good ending for the series.
