Hey, Shawn. Nice to see more folks from over there showing up.
If you want, poke through the movies section and get me a review of something not already covered this month. Or wait until next month. Or poke around the other categories, if you're interested. |

My verdicts on the blockbusters:
The Promise - This could either be a generic, pointlessly aesthetic Asian big action movie like House of Flying Daggers. Or it could be a masterpiece, like Hero.
The Da Vinci Code - I'll probably see this for lack of something better to do, but, while the cast and crew are rock solid, the source material, I think, is crap.
X3 - Yes, I'm looking forward to this. I'm one of the few people with faith in Brett Ratner.
A Praire Home Companion - I've been a fan of Garriosn Keilor's radio show for a while, now. Since he's got a writing credit, this should be good.
Superman Returns - This looks good.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - I like that they're featuring more legends and mythology, but I'm not sure - was Davey Jones a squid-man? At any rate, this has the same cast and crew as the first one, so I can't see how it could go wrong.
A Scanner Darkly - This movie looks worth seeing, if only worth Downey Jr's performance and the visual aspects. Keanu Reeves never bodes well for a film, but I've seen plenty of films succeed despite him that I'll check this one out.
Lady in the Water - Since The Village, I've been skeptical of M. Night. I'll wait for reviews before I dip my toes into this movie.
My Super Ex-Girlfriend - Yes, it looks stupid. But it looks like it'll be fun-stupid.
Miami Vice - Michael Mann. Colin Farrell. Jaime Foxx. Need I say more?
Fearless - The fight scenes from this movie were great. This looks better than The Promise, at least. And I have yet to see a Jet Li film I didn't enjoy to some degree.
Snakes on a Plane - See title.
...and that's about it. I'll be seeing most, if not all of these. |
