Movies

I've been to the theater 3 times in the past two weeks and seen three movies total...

Kingdom of Heaven - Fairly good movie, too long I think. Fits into the mold of pretty much any epic movie. Nothing too special.

Unleashed - I'm not usually a fan of Jet Li movies but I enjoyed this one. You know if Morgan Freeman is in the movie, chances are it will be good and this was no different. It was actually funny a lot of times and didnt spare any action to develop a sappy love story. I'd reccommend it.

House of Wax - Terrible movie. The acting is dreadful, it is more funny than scary, and the death scenes are hilarious. Just watch it, you'll see. Not a good movie unless you're interested in laughing at how shitty it is

 

I saw two movies last weekend:

Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith - This was great. Awesome action scenes and great special effects. Captain Grievous was badass and the plot was developed nicely, even if it was predictable. The only gripe I have about it is that it's so new that it's hard to relate it to the original trilogy. The old ones had so much character and the sets were all seedy and stuff. In this one everything is real polished and clean, like it's never been dirty in its life.

The Interpreter - Another good one. Nicole Kidman does a great acting job in this movie as well as being a nice piece of eye candy. It was pretty exciting and realistic with some nice plot twists, but nothing too mind boggling. It would have been nice to have included some stuff about why the guy was such a bad dictator but, all in all, it was good. I especially liked the last scene in the safe room. Go see it if you haven't already.

 

Recent movies I've seen that I can't be bothered on commenting on extensively:

Revenge of the Sith (x3) - Brilliant. The second best of the overall saga.

Coach Carter - Brilliant. Samuel L represent.

Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy - Brilliant. Martin Freeman in the hizouse. Further, I am mildly attracted to Zooey Deschanel.

DVD rentals:

Cellular - Not bad, for a bit of a dumb thriller. Best part is that it re-unites Chris Evans and Eric Christian Olsen (or whatever his name is) from Not Another Teen Movie.

The Manchurian Candidate - I was sitting at the computer half the time, so that's probably why this one flew over the top of my head. Denzel was good-esque.

 

There are tons of movies I like, but one I saw most recently which I like is Prison Song. I also saw He Got Game recently. 'Twas a good flick as well.
