I saw an advanced screening of Hancock last night. Despite going in with rather low expectations I still came out of the movie feeling pretty disappointed. Actually disappointed is probably an understatement. As

Finished HP 7 a few hours ago. I was going to write a post about it but thought better of it. It seems that the internet is flooded with that right now. I do have thoughts, though, and will gladly comment on your post regarding Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.

I live in Los Angeles proper now. This is confirmed for me each morning when I look out my window as I am running water for coffee and see the "HOLLYWOOD" sign in the distance. Further confirmation appeared this morning on the front gate where I found a "notification of filming" as I stepped out for my morning cigarette. I know intellectually that ( Read more... )

I watched Spike Lee's movie She Hate Me, for which no amount of unfavorable reviews could have prepared me. It was like a train wreck. I knew within the first fifteen minutes that it was going to go poorly, but I just couldn't turn away. Honestly, it was like watching a film written by a raccoon. There are four only marginally related plots going ( Read more... )

I finally saw Brokeback Mountain this weekend. Really, I can't believe this was such a contender for best movie. I was mildly disappointed. Still, I did like it better than the actual Best Movie Oscar winner. The cinematography was beautiful, but I kept having to rewind to hear what Ennis was saying. I know people from Wyoming, and they do actually ( Read more... )
