The Bielski bro's are some attractive Belarusian's...here's some super quick opinions of the movies I've watched over break:
Defiance - Really good!
Burn After Reading - Pretty good!
The Curious Case of Bejamin Button - Not good
Nim's Island - Definitely not good
Anaconda 3 - Past so-bad-it's-good and back to bad
The Ruins - So-so, in a Final Destination meets The Descent sort of way
You Don't Mess With the Zohan - Ugggggggggh
Transformers - Obviously good, since it was a third viewing
Jurassic Park - See above, but add a lot more viewings
It's A Wonderful Life - Ditto
Journey to the Center of the Earth - Eugh
The Notebook - Good and in a bittersweet depressing way
Quantum of Solace - I got a little lost in the plot but who really cares? Mmh
Slumdog Millionaire - Sweet and good
Congo - Exactly what I wanted out of a killer gorilla movie
1408 - Some weird effects, and not super creepy all the time, but good - particularly the brief interaction between Samuel L. Jackson and John Cusack!
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry - All I even really remember from this movie is how incredible Jessica Biels' body is
I Am Sam - ahhhhhhhhhhh so good, so emotionally draining - Victoria and I were crying 5 minutes end all the way through the 2 something hours. Sean Penn is amazing.
The Mask - I love this movie...I also sort of want to marry Jim Carrey in it (and what a smart little actor dog!)
The Rescuers - Watching The Rescuers Down Under was one of the movies that made me think about being an animator, and I love this one toooo....Penny is so cuuuuute.
Inkheart - So, I really liked this book, and the be honest, with the exception of Brendan Fraser (who is sweet but just not a very good actor) I liked the movie a lot too. Also I want to marry Paul Bettany/Dustfinger.
Babylon A.D. - Remembering how much I liked Pitch Black I decided to give another Vin Diesel movie a try...not quite as good, but still fun, if confusing.
Stepbrothers - Pretty funny...a little broad sometimes, but I definitely laughed a lot.
The Wrestler - Everyone was really good in it but man...de-press-ing. I wanted hug Mickey Rourke the whole time...especially during that scene at the tiny little convention no one came to.
La Jetee - Reminded me a lot of John's movie, kind of interesting, a little too long (then again, I was hungry and tired), but sort of like an artsier Twilight Zone episode.
Dimensions of Dialogue - Weeeeird, this creeped me out, it was...interesting in terms of the technical skill but just icked me.
The last two and 3 or 4 more short movies were from a screening for my animation class...since break is now definitely over (returning from the long weekend home confirming the end), I suppose when I watch any new movies I'll give them their own new post. Still, that's a good 26 movies and endless amounts of TV shows to boot! Speaking of TV shows - YES for LOST season premiere (Daniel earned some cool points, Sawyer was cute, Sun is kind of evil, and I still want to marry Desmond), and for Supernatural coming back.
I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting some things...Also I kind of liked Season 3 of Heroes, even though it's gotten a bum rap - and more or less the same goes for Season 3 of Buffy woooooo.
PS - Paul Bettany is married to Jennifer Connelly! And she's his wife in the movie! What a gorgeous couple!
