Filler until Die Hard 4 and Transformers

0 comments

88 Minutes - Al Pacino stars as a forensic psychiatrist who must solve his own murder in 88 minutes. The first 15 minutes were good until you figure out who the killer is. Not worth it.

The Illusionist - Edward Norton plays a magician who wows a town by "bringing back the dead" and reuniting with a long lost love. Entertaining and worth the rental, I wouldn't buy it though.

The Ant Bully - Animated. A little kid who gets picked on by school bully's takes it out his aggression on the ants in his yard, that is until a magic spell shrinks him and he is taken into their world. He has to live as an ant until he can prove he is worthy of being one himself. Entertaining for kids with a good message. Pick it up for the little ones.

All the King's Men - Loosely based on Governor Huey Long of Louisiana. Tells the story of a regular hard working man who becomes Governor for and by the people. A little eccentric but an OK watch, the only thing that bothered me was James Gandolfini 's attempt at a Louisiana accent... terrible.

World Trade Center - I actually found this story of the World Trade towers coming down on 9/11 kind of boring. All the action is in the first 20 minutes and the rest is a depressing back story of the families of the men who were trapped. I will have to pick up United 93 next to depress me more I guess. Watch the first 20 minutes and turn it off... you know how it ends anyway.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - Could this movie have been any longer? I think not! You have to see it if you have seen the other two or things just don't finish up. This should have been broken up into two stories to make it better. This will be a purchase in order to complete the set but that is all.

Perfect Stranger - Ok, I had to watch something with Bruce Willis to tide me over until Die hard 4 but I should have just re watched Die Hard 1,2,3. Perfect Stranger is about Halle Berry's character trying to find out about her friend being killed. Crap, crap, crap. It just coasts along without much happening but they try and throw in a few twists. Ovoid like the plague.

Mad Max - Don't think I need to explain this but could someone tell me why people like this movie? Like 10 minutes of dialogue, 20 of driving, kind of boring actually and really no point to it besides to set you up for the second one. I am half way through the second as I type this. Watch The Road Warrior instead, much better so far.

Hannibal Rising - Young Hannibal growing into a psycho. Disturbing as usual but the story was lacking. Worth a watch if you have seen all the others.

Norbit - Yes, yes, I actually watched this without scratching my eyes out. It was terrible. Note to Eddie Murphy "Stop dressing like a woman, start swearing like a sailor again and get back to the funny". My only suggestion for you is every time you see this movie on a shelf, burn it!

On a person note my collection of DVDs has now grown to over 500. It is like my own person video store.
