Movie Review: The Island

The Island (2005) B-

I was going to give this one a C+ but I liked the story was kind of interesting.  Matrix-like.  Although one of the few times I figured it out before the plot gave it too me.  I thought the people were food.  But close enough.

Movie Review: Dark Water

Dark Water (2005) C-

Sigh... not sure why I put these movies in my Netflix queue.  Don't waste your time.

Movie Review: The Yards

The Yards (2000) B-

I liked the performances from the actors but I thought the ending of the story had no closure... perhaps that's a little cliche but I wanted to know what happened with the lead character.

Movie Review: Quills

Quills (2000) C+

Can't say I really knew much about the Marquis de Sade. Didn't know that's where the term sadism orginated... Had a good group of actors like Kate Winslet and Joaquin Phoenix. I guess I was kind of in shock during the first 30 minutes from the sex and violence. One wonders whether early 1800s France was really so brutal and sexual. The story eventually got interesting but I still had that bad taste from the beginning... Heidi couldn't watch it because of the 2-3 rape scenes. You really get to see how bad women were treated all those years ago. I don't really see how the critics all loved it.

Movie Review: The Dukes of Hazzard

The Dukes of Hazzard. Um. Worst movie ever. Don't waste your time. I like Sean William Scott too. Too bad.

Movie Review : U Turn

I watched U-Turn the other night and while is was bizarre, violent, and well just plain funny, movie; I liked it. The same, in my mind, as Pulp Fiction, which I commented on the other day. It was, In fact, less violent. Heidi did not watch it nor did she like it from overhearing the sound from the other room. I would bet that a great number of women probably don't like this movie but like Pulp Fiction. Is it Pulp Fictions' good marketing or what? I don't understand.
