Monty Python's Life of Brian - 9/10

One Missed Call

 

Nice little horror movie by Miike Takashi, one of my favourite directors. The plot gets kind of confusing in the last minutes, though that's not exactly new in this genre. Some nice scares and creepy situations, but ultimately a bit too conventional, especially for Miike. ***1/2

Yesterday:

Peter Pan (9/10)

A really good adventure film with lots of style, humour and a great performance from Jason Isaacs as Captain Hook.

[Guest Shutterspeed]

I thought that that movie would be a blockbuster. Instead, it tanked big time.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Cheaper By The Dozen (2003) - 6.5/10

 

City Of God (2003) - 10/10

[BlackFlagg 0]

 

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life - 9/10

[DCMaximo 0]

 

Romy And Michele's High School Reunion- 9/10

 

Pure guilty pleasure. The amount of times I've seen this film over the years, yet still loving it, is incredible.

They played it Halloween week and I taped it. It was also IFC Canada.

 

The Seventh Seal (10/10)

X-Men - 8/10

Saving Private Ryan- I wouldn't know, because I missed it like a schmuck.

 

It's Rememberance Day, of course it would be on. Hopefully I don't lose all my senses and forget to watch Christmas Vacation when CityTV does its yearly airing.

 

EDIT: Caught the last hour, and from that, I can safely say Upham is a piece of shit. He pussied out when he could have saved two BRAVE men. He shot the German at the end, but that wasn't at the time it needed to be done. Great (INTENSE) ending battle from what I saw, though. God bless the vets.

Recently: True Romance! Oh man!

 

8/10 for great characters (Oldman, Walken, and Kilmer especially), a well-written script, and a great directing job by Tony Scott. Honestly, I'm relieved that Tarantino didn't direct this, because it would've been all over the place a la every other movie he's done. True Romance works much better in the linear fashion it's presented in.

 

Plus, the main character has Elvis as a mentor/conscience. How awesome is that?

The Terminator (9/10)

One of the best sci-fi/action movies ever!

[Insane Bump Machine 0]

 

*****

 

Just amazing. I'll watch the remake soon, but it can't even come close.

****1/2

 

Really good character development and an interesting murder plot. Great cinematography, too. And the music!

 

 

****

 

After the mixed reviews I didn't expect to like it as much as I did. Don't know if it's because of the new footage and edits in the Director's Cut, but I really don't get why this film flopped. Cool scenario, one-liners, badass characters and good fight scenes. What's not to like? As good as Pitch Black, maybe even better.

 

 

***1/2

 

Good link between Pitch Black and Chronicles, but way too short. Nice animation techniques.

 

 

****

 

I'll have to watch it again, maybe I'll rate it higher then because it was a bit confusing in first viewing. Best mixture of CG and 2D animation I have ever seen, though.

Today was a day off and I spent all day watching movies. I got up at 4 in the morning and here's what I watches

 

Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring: 9.5/10

Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers: 10/10

Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King: 10/10

 

Tomb Stone: 9/10

 

Got done around 3:00 and went to the theater and saw the Incredibles:

 

10/10: One of the best animated film I've ever seen.

Walking Tall - D

 

Probably the worst movie the Rock has made. Bad acting, bad directing, silly action and just a bad movie. The best part of it was Knoxville, who is doing a pretty decent job as an actor.

 

The Incredibles - A-

 

A great cartoon movie, but I still like Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc. better. Actually, Nemo didn't get an A+ rating from me until the last time I saw it. One of the few movies ever to get a A+ from me.

 

My point is that maybe after a few more viewings, the Incredibles will get a higher grade.

I bought the DVD on nov 2, and I've been watching it ever since then. Now I'm setting my sites on the Young Frankenstien DVD.

Withnail and I (9/10)

Fantastic characters, great performances and brilliantly quotable dialogue.

[The Czech Republic 0]

I watched Young Frankenstein and Clerks.

[El Gigante 0]

Before Sunrise (9/10)

Great romantic movie, superb characters and dialog.

 

Before Sunset (9/10)

Great followup to Before Sunrise. A little too short, but the characters and dialog make up for it once again.

Superb acting by Liotta and Patric, and a story that keeps you guessing until the very end.
