It's funny, because this time around, there's a tournament that seems to encompass the entire school year, and none of the students study, they just prepare for the cheers to be had, and make friends with the students from the other schools. What's also odd is that if it's every three years (since one of the students says "We always have three years from now")... what happened to Harry's first year Tournament? Was there one? Bah! No bother! It's a FANTASY TALE, why worry about reality, right?! On top of that, it might have been during school break or something. I really don't know...[more]...

The first problem I had watching this was that the audience was extremely pretentious. Every time there was the obvious punchline to a joke, you could tell many people didn't know what the hell the actors were really referring to (a lot of 50's pop culture), yet knew that it was a joke, so they laughed as if they were in on it, too. There were also a number of times when the audience would make a retarded gasp or applaude for the wrong reasons. Maybe this helped me not enjoy the movie so much...[more]...

Memoirs of a Geisha is one of the best books I've ever read. Rob Marshall has a great directorial eye. Just watch Chicago and tell me it doesn't LOOK wonderful. There are a few problems with this movie before you even see it. First, the book is extremely intricate in detail and storytelling. It would be very difficult to translate onscreen and still evoke the same emotions that one gets while reading it. Second, this movie hires CHINESE ACTORS to play not just Japanese characters in a Japanese story... but they are the FUCKING LEADS! This is absolute bullshit, and a major strike goes to the makers for this bad, name-dropping-for-the-box-office-receipts faux-pas. Already, it seems this movie is doomed...[more]...

Leave it to New Line Cinema to fuck up promotion for a great horror comedy adventure. This is an extremely well done horror movie that gave us a new perspective on Peter Jackson's movie-making style. Before this, he did such classics as Bad Taste, Dead Alive and Meet the Feebles. They were extremely low budget, and the gore was high as the budget was low...[more]...

I knew this movie was pretty much going to suck. What I didn't know was that it was going to suck this much! I would laugh if it wasn't for the fact that movies like this should never be made, and they typically make their money back, which warrants more movies just like it. I'm a fool, and I watch them anyways, but there are times when I'm pleasantly surprised, which is why I go and see them with low expectations...[more]...

Flightplan is what it is; a typical, uninspiring, wannabe thriller that brings few thrills and nothing new to this kind of movie. She has to find her daughter, yadda yadda yadda. Peter Sarsgard does his Peter Sarsgard thing. Sorry if that seems to bring a spoiler, but I'm trying to leave it kinda cryptic. No I'm not. I might have spoiled some of the movie for you. The actual plane itself is overbloated in largeness, and there are people on board that are in every movie like this; the complaining asshole guy, the questionable flight attendants that possibly know something about her missing daughter but just not talking. Does the Captain know what's going on? Who knows? Who cares? I sure didn't...[more]...

After the opening credits, the final line says 'Inspired by True Events'. I don't know exactly what's true and what's not about this guy's life. I know exactly 'Jack' and 'Shit' about the real life of Mr. Barrie, so I can't make comparisons. It's really unimportant knowing what's real and what isn't about his life, as long as the movie itself is entertaining. That's my opinion, at least. I could care less if the existence - let alone the historical accuracy - of William Wallace is true and the events that occur in Braveheart are correct, because in the end I was completely entertained. As a film medium, I don't mind the moviemakers taking liberties to someone's actual life if it helps propel the story to a higher level of viewing enjoyment...[more]...

For the 1994 version, read under my 2005 review...[more]...

Well, slap me silly and fuck me gently with a chainsaw, but I really liked this movie! This is not at all what I was expecting. I was thinking this would be a C+ venture at best, but more into the lower realms of watchability. By no means is The Exorcism of Emily Rose a perfect movie, but it works more often than it doesn't, and I was very entertained throughout. This is more a courtroom drama than it is a horror/supernatural thriller, so don't expect huge scares when going to see it. There are a number of standard shocks throughout, but having seen the preview, one would expect a horror movie first and foremost. Thankfully, it didn't go that route, and this works on the film's behalf...[more]...

For Cameron Crowe to fill his own shoes, it's quite a task. It's hard to top classics such as Almost Famous, Jerry Maguire (minus the stupid ass Lipkin shitting all over every scene with retarded cuteness) and Say Anything. This time he's back with another relationship movie about a woman who's wise with the world and always chipper, much like Kate Hudson in Almost Famous, but not as convincing or charming. Bloom is much like poor Jerry Maguire - just out of a high paying job and looking to find ways to pick up the pieces, but instead of finding a woman and child, he finds his alienated family...[more]...

Well, first thing's first. If you're not a fan of Scott or Knoxville, and are looking for something more than just brainless car stunts and these two guys' mugs trying for laughs, DON'T see this movie! Give it an "F", and move on with your life. Everyone else... buckle up...[more]...

Oh Jesus, man. I don't know why I do this to myself sometimes... the way I go to movies I know I won't like. The thing is, there are those fleeting moments where I catch a real gem of a flick, and those are when all other bad movies that I've seen are made up for with the entertainment from those surprises (which is why I'm often sad about not seeing The Others). This is not one of those movies...[more]...

How much fun is this dick? Well, they forgot the "fun" part of this movie's equation...[more]...
