Movie Review
Alpha Dog was excellent! And JT was GREAT! And trust me, no one hates Justin Timberlake more than I do…first he breaks up the greatest band of all time and then he sells out Janet Jackson…but he totally worked in this movie.
Over the hedge, on the other hand, sucked donkey brains.
The Sentinel was solid…Kiefer and Eva need to have a kid together. Hott. The other dude was good too, but who figure out the traitor at jumpstreet? I know I did.
The dead girl, was very good. Although, with my short attention span I tend to favor the vignette movie style.
Pan’s Labryinth…has anyone seen it? What did you guys think? I’m…conflicted. If it really was all imaginary, a la Life is Beautiful, then it was sad and good; if it was real a la Alice in Wonderland, then it sucked. But the fact that I still don’t know tends to count as a strike against.
Premonition SUCKED. Ari warned me, but it was already in the queque. GAG.
And I saw some other crap that I don’t even remember something about kids maybe…and they die or they don’t…who remembers.
Any movie suggestions? I like everything from Dodgeball to Saw, but I usually hate artsy ‘critically acclaimed’ movies.

Have you seen any of these? I heard they’re great!
“I killed my daughter and now I’m rich”
“I went for surgery on my leg, and they cut off my hand”
“21 grams”
“Amorres perros”
“I’ve watched so much tv and movies that my pupils are rectangles”

No, but I have rented:
“Driveby”
“Earthquake”
“Hernia: the most painful way to live and die”
“There used to be seven kids, now there’s only six.”
and
“Banned.
”
So, I’ll be occupied for a while.

“Thank You for Smoking” - IMHO, in the top 10 best movies of the last 5 years.
Oh, and the Shaw Brothers have remastered and re-released a bunch of their old movies on DVD. Who are the Shaw Brothers you ask? They were the Hong Kong movie house that made all of those old Kung-Fu movies in the 70’s that we watched on Channel 5 on Saturdays at 4PM. Try “Master Killer”, with Gordon Liu. It’s the best example of the Genre.

It was all in her imagination.

Loved Pan’s Labyrinth, but I don’t think I’ll be buying a copy and watching it over and over- it was a lot more intense than I was expecting. When did it start to suck for you?

When she eats the grapes and then is able to draw another door…it’s like the fawn gave you two instructions, dude…how do you fuck it up? So, I figured if this was just her imagination, she wouldn’t have fucked it up and gotten her friends…um…eaten. But then, if it was real, then it was cheesy that she g1) got out and 2) was given another chance.

imagination, except at the end, where she was with “her father” in heaven.
