Watched 'The Weatherman' with Nick Cage, it was semi entertaining to watch, but then it ended and it was like, 'That's it? that's the entire story?' basicly it's a movie about a shallow, self obsessed asshole, and the grand moving point of the flick is him being comfortable and happy with being a shallow self obsessed asshole. I couldn't figure out why they bothered making a movie out of it.
watched Blazing Saddles the other night, for the first time in like 20 years, god that's a funny fricken movie.
Oh, saw Enron: the Smartest Guys in the Room, a documentary about how the people who were George Bush's biggest campaign contributors fucked the entire country and helped create the stock market crash of 2000.
I'll post more as I remember them, I watch 3 or 4 movies a week...

I really enjoyed it. I liked the content, the way it was filmed and I thought Natalie Portman definitely redeemed herself actress-wise. The shock she bears in one scene in particular really portrayed the intensity of her ordeal as well as the relief in that it was over, tripled with the frustration in feeling betrayed and tested for nothing more than an idea, a cause. The film was thought provoking, and conveyed how ideas are born out of fear and how an idea can manifest, stem a revolution. I thought near the ending was a little gratuitous with the slow motion fighting but I think the large explosive conclusion, though block-buster fantastic in a theatrical sense (not to mention me being a lover of all things London and thinking how there may still be raw feelings from the bombing events that took place last year was a bit off putting personally)... yeah, I felt the ending was a bit bombastic in it's symbolic show of stamping out a symbol of tyranny when the countless masked masses storming the city spoke more more volumes than anything being blown up just for the sake of blowing shit up. But maybe that's me. ;)

We also watched Munich which was a great movie too, except for the end (to me, an ending can have a big impact on how I view a film, in case nobody's noticed). Most ridiculous ending in a film, where the hero of the story is having sex with his wife and he starts having a flashback. Everything - from the sex to the shoot-out flashback and back to the humping again, is in slow motion. And slow motion scenes are generally a bad idea in most films and should be kept to the confines of action flicks and far far away from gripping emotional dramas. Anyway, the sex scene - the guy had the most ludicrous look on his face which was a cross between pain, fury and ecstasy and just the plain old look of idiocy most people get on their faces when they are in the throes of passion - the end result was something rather comical. I guess serious films could use some comic relief, but other than the sexual mishap it was a very good film but one the viewer needs to pay close attention to. The lines become a bit muddy and there are times when it's hard to tell who is who and what side is what, but other than that it was a film worth seeing.

I thought his best performance was in Raising Arizona. It's one of my favorite movies, one of the best chase scenes ever on film, and I really dig the Cohen Brothers - I think they're great directors.

I saw the Doors this weekend. I really liked it, I even thought it was better then Walk the Line. But then i am a bigger fan of the Doors then Johnny Cash.
I saw the Doors movie when it first hit theaters. Maybe it was because I saw it with my ex and our relationship was on the out, or maybe I felt it was too much of a cinematic masturbatory session for Oliver Stone, but I thought it could've been better perhaps without all the oo-so-trippy montages. It wasn't a bad film by any means and it was entertaining, it might be different seeing it now through older eyes - maybe I should see it again.

My favorite of his has to be Being John Malkovich. It was just so weird! It's so earnest in its delivery, but the context is so... strange. toomuch'stash and I also had a half tray of brownies beforehand when we saw it in the theater. We were laughing so hard when he Malkovich went into his own head, my face ended up hurting from the strain of utilising face muscles I never knew I had.

n Spike Jonze!!!! :)
Can't wait for their new movie!
I heard a rumor that Spike Jonze and Kaufman were going to make 'The Three', the bad, bad movie that the brother in Adaptation wrote... it was just a rumor, and probably just a joke.

Also, the Doors WAS good when I was a fan a long time back. Oliver Stone has to be one of my favourite five directors of all times, his downward spiral began with Any Given Sunday, which was decent, but BAD for a Stone film. And Alexander.. EEEEEKSS!!
Natural Born Killers has to be my favourite movie of all time, among a few other of course. ;)
Woody Harrelson also for GEE O DEE. (that's copywrited btw. :) )

they casted every character in that movie perfectly........when i first saw it, i couldnt believe what i was seeing 8O.......no human emotion in that film what-so-ever X-D It should be a required film to see in highschool :P it would knock everyone on an even playing field. }:-)
........as for movies ive seen ive recently caught up on a few classic Kubrick films that I've never seen. Clockwork Orange is one....which i think i need to watch again, cause im not too sure i understood exactly what was happening. :? And the other one being my new favorite movie of all time "2001: A Space Odyssey." Incredible visuals, music, and deep meaning. I really thought I wouldnt enjoy it and it turns out to be my favorite movie of all time. :o
my mom rented capote so ill probably be watching that tonight....

Alexander was so bad, we turned it off.
'stash is a big fan of Natural Born Killers but I just didn't think it was that great. A great ride and an enjoyable one while it's going on - but hardly Ston'es best work. I did like Woody Harrelson, he does a good job in the film. Maybe the turn off for me is Juliette Lewis, she bugs the crap out of me... I don't know.
Speaking of Oliver Stone, one of his best has to be the highly underrated and underviewed Salvador. If you haven't already seen it and you're a fan of Oliver Stone, it's worth checking out. It's been too long since I've seen it.

I hate her and I think she bugs the crap out of everyone! which makes it a perfect role for her and the all the main cast of NBK (Woody, Juliette, Robert, and Tommy all fucking weird people.)In other words, Its ment to be annoying and uncomfortable film.
