movies and shit

a few words for all the movies ive seen thus far this summer

Batman Begins - rules a lot. I love the tim burton encantations but this is just ridiculous. Movie making has advanced and I love how its aided Nolan into creating the perfectly balanced batman movie i wanted. I saw it four times.

Bewitched - Nicole Kidman is very appealing to me in this movie...more so than Will Ferrell, which suprised me. I think it has something to do with what the original show was sort of playing on - men losing their status over women, and that fear itself. I learned to laugh a long time ago at silly things...and this is a silly movie.....not very good, but fun.

Mr and Mrs. Smith - I dont really think Angelina Jolie is all that "incredible" hott. I dont think Brad Pitt is as funny as he usually is. It was fun for the most part....but i will never watch that again.

Kicking and Screaming - I hope Will Ferrell doesn't accidentally destroy his career some more.

Crash - I'm not usually one with a penchant for drama...however i really loved this film in a similar way that i liked collateral. Except because of that scene with the daughter getting shot....i think this is the best overly dramatic movie ive ever loved.

War of the Worlds - i dont care...i like Steven Speilberg when he does this type of movie....and i dont think anyone can do it any better....Maybe the story is weak...but its like 100 years old. Tom Cruise with another hilarious performance. I really liked this movie....especially the introduction of the tripods....and that scene with the people wanting to borrow their car. And how the Aliens got aids.

Land of the Dead - Post-college, i really do love zombie movies....and this is a really good addition for the guy who made zombies eat flesh. im just happy he is still alive to make another one. the movies all have a certain social commentary about them which is interesting because of how zany the material is in contrast.....here we are introduced to the first zombie sympathizers.....liberals....pfft.

Star Wars 3- Im not a huge fan of these movies....they are cool i guess.....i like empire strikes back a lot....but i wasn't expecting much....and what i got was a bit more than what i expected. This and empire are the only ones i would ever want to own. When Ewan screams "you were the chosen one" my heart sinks...

Fantastic Four - this is basically a really bad movie.....but i still liked it, cause comic book movies are fun......plus the jessica alba on screen for 90 minutes is great.....especially with the two naked-invisible-woman jokes. Michael Chiklis as the the thing was good i thought.....that johnny storm guy and him had a little funniness there, that could have been great. The exteme sports stuff sucked....as well as dr. doom totally sucking hard. bad movie....but i can like bad movies. It sucks because i read a headline on Fox News saying that THIS movie has revived audiences this summer......how did they realize "everyone will go watch this even though we made it shitty."


AND FINALLY....i will see Charlie and Chocolate Factory on thursday....thus completing the time period that i alotted for myself to live, like a year ago when i first heard about it.

I need to see Rize, Herbie fully loaded (yeah...), shark boy and lava girl.....i think thats it.

After that what next.....Wedding Crashers, Dukes of Hazzard, The Island, Hustle and Flow, bad news bears....i would say Elizabethtown, but thats moving into the fall season really.
