Movie Tab II

Hannibal (2001, Ridley Scott). Not so good movie...
Far From Heaven (2002, Todd Haynes). Very good movie...

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.

Why'd I have the feeling this movie was going to be good? Was it a hit among festivals? Some of it looked pretty. Good color, although it was repetitive. You want to see some crazy color, try some Peter Greenaway (director), more specifically The Cook The Thief The Wife and Her Lover. I'm off track.

Be Cool - Could have been very good, but ended up being mildly entertaining...at parts. Travolta, Cderic the Entertainer (yes really), The Rock (again, yes really), and Andre Benjamin (aka Andre 3000) were all good, but really no one else was.

Dodgeball - i just couldnt get over how small ben stiller is. But i did like Christine Taylor in this and id like to see more films from her and i think Justin Long has a good future ahead of him. Nice to see Rip Torn again. Pretty decent movie.

Really? What did you think was so great about it? I'd give it a 2 1/2 at best, it definitely wasn't in the same league as Get Shorty.

Get Shorty is absolute legend, i think its fantastic and i was real excited about a sequel but a lot of people have said its a bit rubbish.

Should i see this movie? Yay or nay?

I'd say nay, but apparently a lot of people are saying yay...

I respond with a second nay.

Nightmare/Gawi, Korea 2000, not the best horror, but not bad at all, and if sometimes already seen before, still pretty to watch.

RKO 281 - Interesting if true. Cromwell's and Griffith's relationship could have been handled a little better, but I liked pretty much everything else, except for the pointless use of CG as an establishing shot for Hearst's castle. That was cheap looking and quite ridiculous.

Spellbound - Great Hitchcock. I really liked that Salvadore Dali designed something for this. I adore his work.

Tanner '88 - "Episode 1: The Dark Horse" - Really funny. Does anyone know anything about this project? Did they really have Tanner set up as a presidential candidate, or was this just a TV show? So far my favorite character is the Taggerty reporter character.

Around The Bend
2004 - Jordan Roberts

First memorable Walken performance in a couple of years.

An incredible film. Buy it immediately.
