Bad movie choices...

sigh... the bf and I wanted to see a movie yesterday. We considered:

The Bourne Supremacy
Manchurian Candidate
De-Lovely
I, Robot
Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
The Village
Collateral

Sigh... we picked The Village. As William Hurt might say:

What a............ craptacular.......... experience that.......... was.

Possibly "De-Lovely".

got pretty good reviews and I've heard from some people that it was good.

I'd give it a B; good action and story, but sometimes it has the feeling of a cheap production.
A bonus for using Berlin as stage for Berlin, a malus for using Berlin as stage for every other city as well.

preparing to hate it, but was pleasantly surprised. I was so disgusted after 'Unbreakable' and 'Signs' that I hadn't planned on seeing another of this director's movies. I loved the lead actress in this one--I think she's Ron Howard's daughter? She made the movie. I also love Joaquin Phoenix, but he was underused, except for one or two great scenes. I'm stunned at Adrian Brody's role in this movie--what??? And Sigourney Weaver's. William Hurt annoys me. Ever since it came out that he abused Marlee Matlin, I've never again been able to like the pompous, postulating prick.

*************POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!************************
In white font (hopefully):

It definitely isn't a horror flick, IMO, but there was the interesting message about how 'the elders' of our communities have used fear throughout the ages in order to create a tight, cooperative bond amongst its members. It was sad yet understandable how the members of 'The Village' chose to handle and react to their pain by trying to re-create innocence. They had to use ugliness in order to keep that innocence, and even so, the pain of the world they left behind still entered their world. I think the movie was very interesting, and the cinematography was gorgeous.

If you liked the first one, odds are you’ll like this one as well.It was great! I couldn’t even take a bathroom break for fear of missing a vital piece of the puzzle.

Right now we are flicking out with “The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns" DVDs.

Oops! Forgot to add that this is a stand alone movie. So if you have not seen the first one its not a real problem. From the beginning to the end this movie is in motion. Bourne is truly a lethal weapon. The stunts are amazing and the fight scenes are incredible .

we liked the first one a lot. Looking forward to seeing this and forgetting about The Village.

the mummy is scrumdelicious, in my opinion.

I can't watch that movie without having nasty thoughts involving his bald head.

But that's enough of that.

Napoleon Dynamite.

Not as many laugh out loud moments as I thought there would be, but I loved that movie so much that I wanted to eat it so that it would be a part of me.

was pretty funny. It is interesting in that it features two Asian men and a Latina, but puts them in a standard college buddy, smoke dope and get the munchies genre. Race is present, but is not the overriding factor.
