I watched an assload of movies over the weekend.
Gone in 60 Seconds - Hilariously bad. In a good way. I had to jerk off five times during it just to keep from humping the TV. God those cars are pretty.
Amelie - I enjoyed it, but I think it may have overstepped the "feel-good movie" bounds.
XXX - Fuck Amelie, this is the feel-good movie of the year. Just when you thought it couldn't get more absurd, you see Vin Diesel shoot a harpoon onto an Artificially Intelligent hydrofoil bent on the destruction of the human race, parasail behind it, use the parasailing line as a zipwire (barely avoiding a bridge (oh, by the way, he's going about 80mph)), remove a missile and replace it upside down (oh, that's full of some crazy nerve toxin) causing the boat to submerge and blow up under water, where crazy nerve toxins aren't dangerous. In case you were worried, he's fine.
Fargo - Much, much, much better than I remember. Maybe I was pissed off when I saw it once years ago, but I recall it being rather abysmal. Now it's dark and hilarious.
