I watched Not Another Teen Movie. I thought the movie was ok. I really love the spoofs scenes like the girl with the vibrator at the beginning of the movie, The whole Breakfast Club scene. That main good-looking guy was naked and he was covered in whip cream. And the gross Cruel Intention/Never Been Kissed lesbian kiss scene.

Day After TomorrowJust saw it, it was good but not that good. The special effects was on top, but i don't like the... ...end. You dont get to know how it ends with the "ice age". B+

The Day After Tomorrow
I enjoyed this movie alot. It starts off quick, with not too much boring scientific explanation, but enough that it makes sense. The movie is basically about a father trying to get back to his son in Manhattan, when the world has been taken over by huge ice storms. There are a few subplots, but overall I think it was a good decision to focus mainly on that one story. If it had expanded to showing what happened in the rest of the world, it would have just been boring. The movie is never too cheesy, and the special effects are amazing. Overall, it was very good.

ClueThis movie had has alot of potentials.The best actors in this movie are Christpher Lloyd as the adultery Proffeser Plum,Martin Mull as the bummbling Col. Mustard and Tim Curry as the intelegent butler Walesworth.The movie had some good comedy,including Mr.Greens being accused and Col.Mustards arguement with Curry about who is in the house or who isn't. The three diffrent endings were a good and origanle choice. The first ending where Ms.Scarlet did it was one that made sennce,but was not as good as the third one.
The one where Mrs.Peacock did it was the worst.She didn't seem like a person to kill six peopel.
The last endig was the best!Everyone murdered someone,and Mr.Green was the best undercover agent ever! Overall,it gets an A!

Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban.
Just got back from the cinema and this was a flick which was more than I was expecting. First of all no it isnt as good as the book but is superior than the last two. The kid cast have matured and most have become quite good little actors, though are starting to look a bit older tha they should be for the roll. The adult cast is good aswell, even if returning cast members (Dumbledore, McGonagall, Hagrid) are underused, though Gary Oldman as Black and whoever played Lupin were very good. Now the new director, Alfonso Cuarón is very good and sure is better than predesesor Chris Columbus in vision but does rush through alot of sections leaving some parts unanswered (well to those who havent read the book).
Still little complaints aside a great film and very much recomended to all. I give it a 7/8 good stuff but mabey a little longer wouldnt have hurt.

The Seven SamuraiHey, this movie managed to hold my attention for nigh on three and a half hours... no small feat! Very much one of those 'classic' type films, where I can see why critics get into it a lot, but I don't appreaciate as much. Pretty cool characters, particularly the master swordsman (I admit it, had trouble remembering all those Japanese names, so I assigned them moniker's of my own...), and a simple plot that didn't have me mentally mapping out entire scenes in advance. Some cool dialogue (even if it was a mere translation)... I'm quite fond of "Then find hungrey samurai!" Also, it seems to be acted well (alas, I don't know too well what Japanese is SUPPOSESED to sound like, regarding inflection and all, so I don't feel I can give a proper opinion on that aspect.) Physically, though, the acting is great, particularly for "Thirteen." Such a laid back bastard... All up, it seems to have been worth my time, and didn't bore me like certain other 'classic' films have (here's lookin' at you, Gone with the Wind....), and there's plenty of issues to be discussed in those little uni study groups, if that's what get's you going. But for me, a good film, that succeeds despite age, and too many shots of one guys arse. A-

Day After Tomorrow
Just saw it last nite in a jam-packed theater. It was a pretty good movie and much better than most disaster movies out there these days. the scenes with the Americans overunning the Mexican border had the entire audience pissing themselves. If you like a cheesy, action-packed disaster flick, go see it.

Disaster movies these days? The last one I remember was Deep Impact and that was like 6 years ago. If you like a cheesy, action-packed disaster flick, go see it. I better stay home watching my Lord of the Rings DVD's. M0le: go rent the movie now.

Jean Reno is not a monster!!! Oh, you meant the.... gotcha! Don't forget Armageddon and Core, they were crappy too (Speli said Core was anyway). I have to say the new Harry Potter movie actually looks interesting, the whole spooky Nazgul guy looked cool in the trailer, especially when they're in the train and the window freezes as he arrives...

I know those are disaster movies, but Pasty said that there were a lot of disaster movies these days , not 6 or 7 years ago. But you're right, The Core was released last year.
Oh, what would the world do without Roland Emmerich and his disaster films?!
Now, let's get back to the show:
Mies vailla menneisyyttä (The Man Without a Past)
I just saw this movie on TV (in widescreen, woo!) and it really surprised me. In the hands of any other writer/director this could have ended being another movie where a guy with amnesia tries to find about his past and goes on a long journey of self discovery and setting things right while he's at it.
But Aki Kaurismaki took a different approach this time and told us a story about a man who is hit in the head by some thieves and wakes up not remembering anything.He then doesn't tries to know more about his past, he prefers to live the present in a small town where he meets new and different people, and forget everything that has happened before. It is a low-key quiet little movie with some good performances, a nice score, some great musical sequences and beautiful images. Recommended.
9/10

I watched Open Range a couple of days ago. A bit slow on the uptake but it settled in nicely and steadily built up to its climax which was pretty cool as well. I feel I should compare this to Unforgiven but I can't and I can. The grittyness of the old west in this movie is very similar with Clints classic but Open range seemed more set in the real world rather than Unforgiven's washed up gunslingers world. Either way, as I enjoy the western genre I did enjoy Open Range but the films climax comes close but will never come out tops when compared to Unforgivens which, I must say, is the best revenge ending I have ever seen in a movie and still manages to get the adrenalin flowing. "All right, I'm coming out. Any man I see out there I'm gonna kill him. Any son of a bitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only going to kill him, I'm going to kill his wife and all his friends and burn his damn house down." I give Open Range an 8. And 'cos I mentioned Unforgiven and as its a cool film I won't pass a chance, I give it a 10. Obviously.

I thought the movie was really good and I have enjoyed it. I really like the horse/bird type creature and the bit where Harry was in that night bus. The shrinking head makes me laugh.

PoltrigeistEven thought this film wasn't scary,it is still a horror classic!The best parts are: The giant maneating tree,the toy sucking closet,"There Heeerrrre!",the ghost coming down the stairs,O'rourick talking thought the T.V,the riseing corpses and the house sucking itself up! The only thing that was bad was the guy in glasses who dreamed that he pulled his face skin off!Just to sick fior me! Grade:A-

Impressions of Harry POtter: PoA- I think the initial assumption they made while making this movie that everybody going to see it either read the book(s), or is seeing it with someone who has.
- Fred, George, and Percy who? In fact, who's Percy?
- Griffin > Hippogriff
- Exposition? We don't need no stinkin' exposition!
Harry: ::Crying:: Hermione: You know Harry, that's got to be the worst acting I've seen in a while. Harry: I know, but I'm still more believable than Hayden Christenson. - That's no werewolf! That's a weregollum!
- Dude, where's my quidditch?
- I will never tire of seeing the happy little bluebird fly into the whomping willow and become a happy little blue explosion of feathers.
- I really wish I could have gotten it into perfect focus.
- That didn't seem like 2 and a half hours.

I'll agree with Nixorbo on practically all points. The bluebird gag was pretty great. But yeah.. They don't explain why Harry has his own room[unless I missed something big in the last movie..]. For the first time in this series, a Quidditch game actually looked believable, and there's hardly any Quidditch! WTF? The Dementors were pretty damn scary[especially the mouths], yet I was more wierded out by Peter Pettigrew. Fangirls will be disappointed, I think, by Lupin and Sirius.. not exactly the bishies I would have envisioned, but still well cast and without enough screen time. The Hippogriff flight was pretty, though. The Harry Potter theme is used sparingly ion this movie, which is a good change. The soundtrack is something I'd buy, as it isn't just a rehash of the same song 50 times. Though the choir bit was kid of odd and so was the Gap wardrobe. I'd think they'd have outfits with a bit more personality.. Anyway, still nice and dark and not as over-explanatory as the other films. My favorite so far.

The movie itself was pretty entertaining, but I had several problems with it. It was a lot less true to the book than the other two movies. The pacing wasn't so great, either. There were many parts when I wished they would just move on because it was boring. But then something exciting would happen, then it would suddenly end. But it was still entertaining, and that's why I go to movies.
