Who knew that having a full time job would be so draining? I really need the weekends to recover. At least this weekend, I'm not doing much except volunteering on Saturday. I really need to catch up on sleep. I only got six hours last night because I was reading a paper for work. A paper that my boss said would only take a couple hours to read, but ( Read more... )

Within the past week, I have quite coincidentally watched three movies which all happen to be costume dramas about being in love with someone other than the person to whom you are married ( Read more... )

If the Da Vinci Code were translated into binary code, it would be a string of 0s since preliminary reviews are giving it only negative reviews. In fact, I have never seen a movie with a 0% rating on rottentomatoes, but there you have it. And if you weren't convinced by the reviews on that page, you can also check out the reports of audience ( Read more... )

Can someone explain to me what makes Fargo so special? I had heard only good things about this movie, so I decided to go and watch it. I gotta say, I was thoroughly disappointed because I either didn't "get it" or the movie was too hyped up. I understand what people like in the movie is that the characters are all so quirky, but strangely ordinary ( Read more... )

The trailer for Sofia Coppola's third film is umm...interesting? It certainly looks beautiful and Kirsten Dunst has that whole running in a weird 18th century way down pat. And who doesn't like Jason Schwartzman, but I'm just so confused about the '80s music. Does this mean that the movie is going to be all '80s because while I love the '80s, I don ( Read more... )

If Aiswarya Rai agrees to do Rush Hour 3, I will be so embarassed. I don't know why exactly, but there will be lots of heads hanging in shame. She may be the most beautiful woman in the world, but looks do not equal acting ability. If that were the case, Jessica Alba would have an Oscar. Speaking of which, why was Jessica Alba invited to the Oscars ( Read more... )

Oliver stone has the worst ideas ever.

I saw Freedomland last night. Words cannot begin to describe the mess that it was. Quite honestly, it was different than what I expected, but it was so poorly written and directed, that it lost all semblance of respectability. The subject matter was racial tension as was evident by the trailer, but there was a good twist about three quarters of the ( Read more... )

Some guy thinks he can predict box office successPoor guy doesn't know what he's getting into. His study is going to get ripped to shreds. Especially since he is only 35% effective at predicting if a film will be a blockbuster or a flop. And he isn't taking into account advertising and critics' ratings which I have found to be the most important ( Read more... )

Why would any stdio ever greenlight a film that needed a $207 million budget. Dear god, why? How can the remake of a classic ever hope to even make that much even though Peter Jackson is directing? I guess I'll be eating my words in a couple weeks.

P.S. When did Peter Jackson lose like 100 lbs?
