a few movies
« on: August 20, 2006, 06:14:09 AM »
Since I started the remodels I've been seeing a lot of movies. I get to the hotel and watch
a movie or two before going to sleep :dunno: dunno what it is.

Here is a list of what I've seen (and remember) and rating:

v for vendetta - 6/10
serenity - not as much fun the second time around 7/10
kids - 8/10
quills -  9/10
failure to launch - meh 4/10
guilty by suspicion - 7/10
platoon - one of my favorite war movies - 10/10
virgin suicides - 8.5/10
Leon the professional (director's cut) - it has to be in my top ten fav movies 10/10
date movie - worst movie of the bunch -   -10/10
talented mr ripley - made me uneasy - 8.5/10
boondock saints - good movie, great idea, decent actors, shitty director. This movie could have been so much better but still is awesome - 9/10
dogma - 7/10
punisher - punisher was my second most liked comic character, i'm glad the movie did not cut down on how violent of a character he really was, but overall it wasn't very good - 6.5/10
meet the fockers - 7/10
van wilder - 5/10
apocalypse now redux - 10/10
chronicles of riddick - fun movie but fucking vin disel can't act worth shit - and i hate the cheesy lines 4/10
taxi driver - 10/10
ronin - 9/10
legends of the fall - seen it twice; great freagin movie. I'm surprised i haven't seen it before...but i guess this was the right time for me 10/10


and there is probably a dozen which i forget atm....

>>chronicles of riddick<<

Pure trash - but good, popcorn-munching trash all the same. ;)

Since I'm not going anywhere fast at the moment I may take a look at some of your more highly rated choices. :)

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?.

its was incredibly risky to make. The "actors" were simply kids picked up from the street. The
themes were very controversial. So sure, the movie is not a great picture by far, but taken
with all of the above it has a strong message - and it is delivered well.
