I'm really bad about posting reviews of the movies I see and the books I read. I always intend to, so that my friends can get new ideas on what's good (or at least dissagree with me and have an interesting discussion.) But I'm lazy about it. Eh. Oh, well. Here are a few of movies I've seen this Summer, at least ( Read more... )

While searching for a title for a friend, I found a site that reviews anime that has pretty good reviews without spoilers. It is geared towards letting parents know what to expect for stuff their kids want to watch, but even without that part, it is a good review site.

antirrhinum_m and poly_good_girl and I watched Live Free or Die Hard last night. What complete brainless fun. I love action movies with lots of big explosions, as long as they don't take themselves too seriously. The Die Hard series is great; it's all about sweaty men and big guns and lots of KABOOM. It's such a guy movie, I'm not sure why I like that sort of thing. My ( Read more... )

I've been looking for a while for a website that lists all of the major theater releases in the US by year, so that I can catch up on some of the movies that I've missed. IMDB doesn't have the type of search I want, which surprises me immensely. I finally found a site that does: Movie-List.com

Monday I was feeling much better, though still a bit achey and sleepy. shoes_the_dog came over Monday instead of Sunday, since he had no school, bruuuuuu had to work, and I had not been feeling up to playing with him on Sunday. We (the kidlet, the housemates, and myself) had a leisurely breakfast then went to see Shrek III. I didn't like it nearly as much as the ( Read more... )

So, you have to take this in the context of the movie we just watched. My housmates and I watched Idiocracy this evening.

The I hopped on line to check e-mail. poly_good_girl uses Yahoo as her home page. She was logged in, so I just opened a browser in her account. The first thing I saw was a headline saying that The Departed had won Oscars for Best Picture ( Read more... )

I'm so glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read this. Yes, I want to see '300'. It's a great story, though I'm not sure the movie has anything to do with the story the way it happened. But still, I'm bound to like it. This guy, however...

(I'm not sure where the review is from, the link is to my friend deliciouspear's journal.)

antirrhinum_m and I were just talking today about different types of memory. I have a very visual memory. I can find my way back to nearly any place I have been, but I may not even be able to tell you when I was there, who I saw, or what I did there. I just follow the images my memory prompts me with. (That also makes it hard for me to give directions, ( Read more... )

Boing!Boing!Boing! Yaaaaay! Perfect! Absolutely perfect! And, oh, the surprise waiting at the end!

And now, I'm just going to cut this here, since I won't be able to refrain from spoliing it for those who have yet to see it. DO NOT CLICK IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE YET! ( Read more... )

"Think of your favorite underrated film, type the name into Google and do an image
search. Find the best pic and then post it in your journal, but don't say what
the name of the movie is! Once you post the picture, it's up to your friends to
figure out what the movie is from the pic you posted.
