Pretty creepy. A couple of stupid bitches in the cinema kept screaming at moments of heightened suspense, so I quietly rendered them unconscious with a liberal application of the time-tested 'smash their heads together' technique.
It's probably one of the best 'scary' Stephen King adaptations - classy and psychological as opposed to gory and low-brow. I'd rate it up with The Shining.
John Cusack does a great performance - he's alone on screen for most of the movie, but carries it excellently.
A few twists were very predictable, but on the whole an enjoyable atmospheric creepfest.

The Golden Compass
This is a gorgeous movie, if a little dry. Though the story's not as engaging as it should be, there's plenty of stunning eye candy to be had here, including vast pseudo-steampunk cities, golden airships, shape-shifting CGI animals, giant armored bears that sound remarkably like Gandalf, evil blonde bitches named Coulter (completely unlike anything we have on our world), vast Arctic vistas, huge battle scenes.
Also, Eva Green is hot.

I'm Not ThereWent to go see this super-hyped Bob Dylan biopic last night, and although it was not the second coming of Jesus that many websites and magazines made it out to be, it was throughly enjoyable. The movie is not a biography of Dylan, exactly. Instead, it's 4 or 5 seperate stories celebrating themes of his music and career. Like, there's a young black kid who rides the rails in the early 20th Century singing the blues named Woody (after Dylan's idol, Woody Guthrie) or Christian Bale portraying the 20-something folk rock Troubadour singing "The Times They are a'Changin". But by far, the most remarkable segments of the movie are the 1965 Electric Mod Dylan played by Cate Blanchett. This role has "Best Actress" written all over it. She looks ridiculously like Dylan from the era, and shines in the role. She has the withdrawn, depressed, and sarcastic personality down...pat. Just check out this picture: The movie is not without it's flaws *cough*HeathLedger*cough*, but it's still very good. But if you go in expecting anything other than an art film, you'll be disapointed. 8.7/10

I think she's great. But you're entitled to your opinion, just as you're entitled to be belted around the head with a hockey stick as soon as I remember where I left it...
Badmouth my Cate, will you!? Have at thee!!

Her performance in The Aviator was horrendous. If Katharine Hepburn acted like that in real life, I will eat your hat. Surely that's the fault of the writer/director, not the actress?

Bee MovieBeekeepers to Bee Movie: "Too many bees"I like bees. I don't think the Seinfeldesque jokes transplanted to a movie very well, though. Some of the scenes with just Jerry Seinfeld talking were all kinds of meh. It was very scientifically inaccurate about bees, too, I expected better! Most bees and mosquitoes are not male and they do NOT wear sweaters! I can't emphasis this enough. They just don't. Bee integrity. Disregard previous statement! I'm being too hard on it. It was much better than I'm making it out to be. One last thing: Chris Rock has the worst voice in the whole wide world. I mean it. You do. C+(That's almost a Bee. roflophagus )

Originally posted by M0le: Most bees and mosquitoes are not male I had the same criticism about the titular critters in Antz. Also that they don't use pick-axes or cluster together into a wrecking ball... ...but it's something for the kiddies, I guess. Until they're old enough for their parents to take them along to slasher movies.

I Am LegendPretty much a zombie movie in the very near future. Will Smith is the best rapper/actor ever. Oh yeah, he was killing dogs like Michael Vick. B

I Am Legend Until I saw it in theaters, I seriously didn't know it was going to be a zombie-horror movie. I just thought it was going to be one of those sci-fi eerie end of the world/last man on Earth movies.
That said, I thought the first half of the movie, which was basically just Will Smith and his dog hunting, surviving, listening to Bob Marley, and renting adult movies was the best parts of the movie. Props to anyone who can really keep an audience's attention when it's only him. But when it basically becomes a Zombie movie, and you find other survivors, it lost alot of it's edge and appeal.
First Half: 9.5 Second Half: 8.2

I agree, perfect family movie. I'd recommend it to those with small children, especially. It's an uplifting film with a touching ending. May I also recommend Watership Down?

Ok... I had to think about this for a moment, and look up the definition to irony in Webster's.... anyways... I'll admit that irony may not have been the correct term, but here's the gist of what I got from what you wrote. Originally posted by the VelourFog: I wish modern TV episodes of Simpsons were as good as this movie. Essentially... the movie is basically a grouping of classic Simpsons episodes. And you like classic Simpsons episodes. You also liked the movie. You don't like modern Simpsons episodes. I infer you don't like modern Simpsons episodes because they are not like classic Simpsons episodes, however, you wish the modern Simpsons episodes were more like the classic ones. The movie is new/modern, but really it's one big long classic Simpsons episodes marathon... So what seems contradictory, is that you would rather watch classic Simpsons than new Simpsons, and the new Simpsons movie is actually classic Simpsons wrapped in a new package. From your review, it was impossible to ascertain whether you came to the same conclusion about the new Simpsons movie being a collection of reworked classic episodes. That's where I derived irony and that is what I pointed out. For the record, I wasn't trying to start an argument, just making an observation.
