Movies overload

I just realized yesterday, after watching one of the worst movies ever, that I have seen way too many movies lately. We get free passes all the time to go to the Arena theatre and in between shifts it is so easy to do - even though I should be out riding my bike or something. Anyway - save you some time from watching the bad ones:

The Movies of 2005

Be Cool: should have been called Be Long - with tons of boring musical distractions. Next time just let the Rock and Vince Vaughn do their thing and it will be much better. Grade: O (for oops sorry I fell asleep)

Sin City: Hot young hookers, aging hot guys, and endless amounts of blood and gore. What more can you ask for? Plus Willis got hit by a car walking out of the movie. Grade: H (for hit and run)

Revenge of the Sith: Padme wasn't supposed to die (refer to the original trilogy), Anakin should not kill younglings in the evening when he was fine in the morning, and they seriously killed all of the Jedis (save Yoda and Obi-Wan) in one day? Powerful Jedis, I think not. You disappoint me George. Grade: F (for all the real fans that are weeping)


Bewitched: Will Ferrel is hysterical so I really don't think I will ever hate anything he does. not the greatest movie - but he makes me wish it was cake day - and I had a two story cake, and a leopard with a diamond studded collar. plus compare how he acts when he is "bewitched" and tom cruise on oprah. I think Katie may be a witch herself. Grade: C (for cake day)

Kicking and Screaming: ok I know I am supposed to hate this movie and think it is dumb but I still laughed out loud a ton! Plus those lesbians gave me a great idea.....adopt a little asian kid...they are small and funny and will grow up smart to take care of mommy when she gets old! Grade: D (for "da' Bears")

The Wedding Crashers: this really was the funniest movies I have seen in a really long time. Remind me to never make out with a stranger at a wedding! Grade I (for "I do")

Batman Begins: the best batman ever. I loved the 1st one but I think I liked this one better. It was definately more beleivable - which yeah I know comic books are supposed to be out there. I really didn't like Christian Bale though, I liked the creepy bad guy better. Grade: H (for holy comeback, batman)

The Machinist: ok so got this one because Dawn love Christian Bale now after Batman but this was like if Batman was doing the Lindsey Lohan story. He seriously weighed about 110 lbs and I couldn't focus on the movie because all I wanted to do was feed the poor boy a jelly donut! grade: f (for food: try it sometime)

Urbania: ok so this one ended up being more like gay porn than a real movie. there was some serious guy on guy, girl on guy, and guy on himself action going on. there was also some weird urban legend undertone going on that I didn't get at all. the worst part is that I watched it with Dawn and my grandmother. grade: e (for embarressing)

Dark Water: and finally the movie that made me realize that I was watching too many movies. Everything about this movie sucked - not scary, bad storyline, horrible ending. Grade: I (for I wish I had those 2 hours back)

Did you have something against that Willis character? Dunno how that would improve the quality of the movie...

christian bale is awesome.

You getting hit by the car did not improve the movie, just made for a more memorable night - a little surreal after watching that movie. I almost expected you to rip the middle aged man out of his car and do terrible things while his toddler daughter watched from the backseat. A good thing that reality doesn't mimic art!

Okay I'll sum up my many opinions...

Be Cool- Agree completely.

Star Wars- I liked it, but it could have been better. It was fun for what it was, but being a Star Wars fan it was disappointing.

Bewitched- Surprisingly really funny and sweet. I enjoyed it. Nicole Kidman was perfect for the part. No one better than Will.

Wedding Crashers- Hilarious. One of the funniest movies in recent years. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn were awesome together!

Batman Begins- By far my favorite Batman. Christian Bale is hot. The story, special effects, acting... They were all really great.

(Any of the other movies I haven't seen. To add my own comment... Mr. and Mrs. Smith was one of the most fun movies I saw this year. I really enjoyed it. The chemistry between Angelina and Brad was top notch.)

War of the Worlds and Fantastic 4... Skip them or see them for the special effects. Weren't great.

Cursed was the WORST movie I saw this year, so far...

Hope to see you soon Jenn!
