UPDATE on the Movies I wanted to see...
1-5 on thumbs up, one being yuck and five being wonderfully great movie classic
(2 or less I probably didn't like the movie very much)
Movies I must see:
X - Prime- good by me, fairly realistic ending, 3.5 thumbs up
X - Jarhead- quite enjoyed, 4 thumbs up
X- North Country- Made me think, 4 thumbs up
X- Greatest Game Ever Played- Six thumbs, end of story
- Rumor Has It (Yet to see)
X- Pride and Prejudice- FIVE thumbs, wonderful
X- Harry Potter- Not my favorite Harry Potter but fun, 3 thumbs up
X- Rent- MILLION THUMBS! maybe the best movie I have seen this year
X- Chronicles of Narnia- 4 thumbs-up, enjoyed the music and effects
- Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang...but only for Val Kilmar (Yet to see)
X- GLORY ROAD- Saw last night and let me tell you I can't wait for our next basketball game, five thumbs up!
Movies I would like to see:
X- Just Friends- 2.5 thumbs up. It amused me enough for me not to dislike it
- Dreamer (Yet to see)
X- Weather Man- 2.5 thumbs, same as Just Friends
- Proof (I actually really want to see this one still, unlike the others)
X- Wedding Crashers- 2.5 thumbs up, entertaining but not enough
X- Everything is Illuminated- F-ing funny, 3.5 thumbs up.
X- Walk the Line- Enjoyed it, 3 thumbs up
- Syriana- (Yet to see)
- Derailed (Don't really want to see)
Movies I saw that I didn't anticipate seeing when I wrote out this list:
King Kong- ZERO thumbs, only reason I sat through it is because Brett wanted to see it on his birthday
Cheaper by the Dozen 2- funny, 3 thumbs up
Broke Back Mountain- I liked it for different reasons then reasons I normally like movies, 3 thumbs up
Memoirs of a Geisha- Read the book on break so saw the movie, 3.5 thumbs up but the book is a 5 thumber
There are a few more coming and going that I would like to see, but I did myself well in two and a half months I'd say.
Doesn't seem like I'm a very harsh critic but I try not to go to movies I know ahead of time that are going to waste my time.
