Very cool. Of course, you’ve probably already seen the movie, or heard that it was good. If I have any complaint it’s “use more light”. I know this was supposed to be a dark movie, but come on! (I’m not complaining, it was still an excellent movie)
Teen Wolf
Yes, I saw this. Sorry, I promise not to do it again. Hey! I did NOT see Teen Wolf Too! so at least I have that going for me. I remember seeing an interview with the “star” of Teen Wolf Too, and he was going on about how it was “too” not “two”, so it was a really clever title. I guess that’s about all he could come up with.
Taxi Driver
Great movie that I finally saw. Interesting how timely it is, even though it was almost 30 years old when I first saw it. I guess there will always be directionless loners looking for something to believe in or fight for. After all, if you believe in nothing, what’s the point of anything?
Tank Girl
I liked this movie. I’m not ashamed to admit either. I don’t think many people understood that it was supposed to have a “cartoonish” look to it. Most people just saw that as cheap and stupid. Of course, I am a much more advanced version of human, so I could fully understand and appreciate the artistic aspects of this fine piece of cinema. Sorry for all you dimwits out there, you’re missing out.
The Tall Guy
Rare. Rowan Atkinson being his funny self, and Jeff Goldblum “not” being a misfit genius. Worth a look if it happens to be on.
Sybil
One of those movies I saw years ago when I was young. I don’t remember much of it except that it was a bit freaky. This does raise the question… does anything we do when we’re too young to remember it count?
Switchback
Seriously stupid. I saw this in a hotel at Cajon pass. The only channel they had was HBO – nothing else. This movie’s plot just didn’t make logical sense. They never really had a reason that the bad guy was bad, or the good guy was good, they just were. If you liked this movie, you have no brain… at least no analytical part of a brain.
Sweet and Lowdown
Thoroughly entertaining. This is the story of Emmet Ray, a jazz guitar virtuoso from the early part of the 1900’s. To be honest, I don’t even know if there actually was an actual person, or whether it was all an elaborate “made-up documentary” by Woody Allen (I’d find that amusing if true). Well, I suppose I could figure it out with a little investigation next time I go on-line. Anyway, it’s a good fun character-study movie, Sean Penn did a great job. Anyone wanna go shoot rats at the dump and look at trains?
Sweeny Todd
Blood. So much blood, it’s not even blood. So much anger, it’s not even anger. So much revenge it’s not even revenge. Tim Burton can tend to hit or miss. He really hit with this one – everything came together perfectly. Same deal with Johnny Depp – when he’s good, he’s really good…
Swamp Thing
The best of the “Tramauville” (sp?) movies. Gore! Guts! and Plantlife!
The Sure Thing
You know what? I just realized that I confused this movie with “say anything”, go read that review, because that’s the movie I was thinking of. Now I can’t remember what the hell Say Anything was about. Oh well, I guess I’ll just leave the review as it is… it’s generic enough.
Super Size Me
Surpisingly well crafted and executed.
Superman Returns
But from where? This was like half a movie searching for a plot. It was fun to watch at times, but it didn’t really seem that the characters believed in the idea. Also, once again, a character does something really stupid (bringing your son along on a tresspass?) to move the plot along.
Superman IV
This will surely go down as one of the all-time worst movies ever made. It looks like it was made by a couple high-school flunkies for show on public access cable or something. If you actually saw this, I’m sorry.
Superman III
The series went downhill quick. Richard Pryor just didn’t fit the bill as a “computer genius”. After seeing this, I asked myself “why?” I never received an answer.
Superman II
More fun. The superman part wasn’t quite as good as in the original, but the villains were first-rate.
Superman
Just darn good clean fun. Gee whiz!
Summer School
Your average “high-school misfits find a cause and a sense of identity with a misfit teacher” movie. Why wasn’t my high school this much fun? I guess I should have slacked-off more.
Summer Rental
This was just a fun, silly movie. I guess it’s worth seeing once. It’s hardly high art, but what can I say? What ever happened to Kerri Green?
Summer Catch
I only saw the last third of this, while exercising at the gym… It was so bad it was shocking! Can cardboard act? nope.
Story of the Weeping Camel
I’m not sure how you would categorize this movie… perhaps docu-drama? A camel refuses to suckle her newborn calf, and after trying all kinds of things the camel ranchers decide to perform a musical “love your calf” ceremony. It’s happy, it’s sad, and it’s almost unbelievable, but yet, so true you have to believe it. With characters like “Dude” the boy and “Botok” the camel, how can you go wrong? Oh, did I mention that it all takes place in Mongolia? I’m not sure if it’s inner or outer Mongolia, or if that even matters… but it is an interesting look into a not-so-idealized portrayal of life in the Gobi desert. I was thinking, these people could just as well be living in eastern Oregon. People are the same everywhere.
Stir of Echoes
Few movies creep me out. This one almost did, and I think that was due to the directing more than anything. Some of the scenes were quite well filmed. As for the plot? It was your typical “everyday man becomes obsessed with something he can’t understand”. It reminded me of ‘Close Encounters….” actually. I wish they had alluded to the climax of the movie a little more. I guessed the ending anyway, but I think it would have been better if Kevin Bacon’s friends had more of a dark side & if we got subtle glimpses into that side of their characters. After all, those characters were crucial to the outcome of the movie, and we barely got to know them.
Stripes
Another funny movie with Bill Murray. I don’t remember what exactly was so funny about it… just go see it and laugh a few times.
Strange Days
I thought this was a really cool movie. Juliette Lewis in her heyday… In any case, I was always sad that this movie didn’t “do” as well as it should have. I can’t really pick out any single thing that impressed me with the movie. Maybe they just did a good job showing how the “invention” integrated itself into society, and how it became a problem for the obsessed.
Strange Brew
Great movie, eh? If you see this movie and don’t laugh your ass off, you are indeed dull..
