I'm behind the times as usual (too much sleeping I guess)

The Village

I watched The Village for the first time last weekend. Thought it was very entertaining - much better than mixed reviews it's recieved. Worth renting at least.

I just came back from seeing 'War of the Worlds'. It was quite well done and is worth seeing...

Star Wars Episode III

Well I finally got to see Star Wars Ep. III...and damn was it ever good.

Have you ever gone to a theater, watched a movie, then when the movie ends you feel as though you are still in the world the movie created? Star Wars created this feeling for me this evening, and it is very rare for me to experience it.

The effects were nothing less than awe-inspiring, and the story was deep...and dark. Much darker than any of the other movies. Yet its very darkness makes it appealing in an age of sugar-coated movies where everything turns out well in the end. It's refreshing to say the least when a movie shows that the good guys don't always win, that people never "live happily ever after".

It was almost gut-wrenching to experience the betrayal by Skywalker, the slaughter of all those Jedi...the story was so immersive I found myself feeling as though I was there, watching the entire thing first hand, experiencing all the emotions to go along with it...a rare thing indeed.

As you can tell, I liked it. A lot.

Well, I didn't want to go to it, but I took my son to see Shark-Boy. I hate 3d movies, mostly because I have a depth perception problem and it's hard to get those 3d glasses to fit over my regular glasses. After seeing Spy-Kids 3d, I wasn't too surprised at anything in this movie. If you're at that age range the movie was meant for, then it's probably pretty good. I caught myself falling asleep a couple of times. Not for me, but my son loved it, which is what really counts.

My nephews are begging me to take them to see this movie, Shark-boy. I would much rather take them to go see "Watching The Grass Grow" - than suffor through yet another abysmal child geared 3d movie. OMGNFWINH - Oh My God, No F'ing Way In Hell!

To bad about EP III (Star Wars) It was a really good movie that simply was not epic enough. When all is boiled down, there isn't enough to keep people coming back for more.

The movie has grossed over $360,000,000 million US and close to a billion world wide, with only about $975,000 in sales last week so its on the fast track to the DVD market.

Star Wars was a revalation in the movie industry. Since then most movies, say for Titanic, have not been as "must see" as Star Wars and I honestly don't think there ever will be again. Sure ET and a few others were great movies, but nothing on the scale of Star Wars as far as uniqueness and glass roof shattering presense.

ROTS - albeit a great moive, simply is the end of an era that could have been a lot more exciting in its journey than in its execution. To many people were turned off by EP I and II to trust the revies of EP III.

War of the Worlds

I've just saw The Cube 2, it was ok, a bit odd movie.

1. The Avator

It is not as good as they say it is, in fact it is quite bad.

2. Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith

Simply awsome.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith

I saw this movie last night. Not bad, it was quite an entertaining movie with many funny bits. This is not a serious action movie, it's more like a comedy, and there's quite a bit of silliness. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are in it. They are married, but unknown to each other, they are professional assasins working for different secret agencies. Problems arise when they are both given the same assignment and they find out each other's secret. Anyway, an OK movie. I am not a fan of either Pitt or Jolie but this movie was not bad.

By the way, I never understood why many guys like Angelina Jolie so much. I don't find her attractive at all... One of the girls we went with said, "Brad Pitt is so handsome!". Too bad I don't look anything like him and never will.

I rented Hitchhikers Guide to the the Universe and I have to honestly say this: I am very relieved that I never read the book. After seeing the movie, nearly two hours of my life that I will never get back, I am estatic that I never wasted my time to read such a tripely written, contrived, poorly humored, peace of [censored] lititure. If I am alone in my opinion, then so be it. I can live the knowledge that I have been spared the honor of having read such a widely loved book.

I found the movie to be utterly STUPID and demanded my money back from Block Buster and was granted instore credit. I have never before been so utterly put off by a movie that I returned it the same day, within hours of renting it, demanding my money back. I would sit through a 100 xXx State of the Unions rather than watch another second of that movie. I say burn the negatives, the DVD's and the VHS. Hell BURN THE BOOK!
