OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

Erax · #1 April 28th, 2003, 09:18 PM

Saw Dreamcatcher yesterday. If you're a Stephen King fan (my wife is), by all means go see it. If not... you will probably hate it.

It thought it was... interesting. Not great, perhaps not even good, but interesting.

For those of you who saw the movie, here's a part of my post-movie conversation with my wife (no big spoilers included):

Me: "Didn't Beaver have any powers ?"
My wife: "Well, he could drink whiskey without swallowing the toothpick."

I didn't like Dreamcatcher, but the idea of representing the mind as a library was absolutely genious.

Stephen King worked as a library assistant for some years before he started to teach English (and write). Most of his stories have at least one library scene. Like I said, you have to be a King fan to like the movie.

X-Men 2 is coming out this Friday! I'm definitely going to see this one. I've been wondering how Magneto escapes from his pLastic prison, and I can't wait to find out how he does it!

By the way, Patrick Stewart is perfect as Xavier, but I keep thinking of him as Captain Picard.

Oh please, X-Men is overrated......

Oh man, I almost forgot. Yesterday I watched a documentary called "Waco: Rules of Engagement".

You GOT to see it.

And I will have a hard time not thinking of Magneto as Gandalf.
