Great
Listen, I know movies these days put in a lot of nonsense things that make us say "That's so fake" or "Why would that happen", but in this movie, no matter what happened even if I thought "it didn't make much sense" or "how easy was that" or "I knew that was going to happen next", I did not think about those things because I let the movie just take over me, and let the suspension of disbelief live out because the movie was such a really great journey that took you with it. The movie took you in avenues and put you in situations that really confronts you the way it confronted Adam Sandler's part. And the movie was just a great film, that any family would enjoy going out to see together. It brings us to enjoy who we are, and not to hate ourselves for trying to be an image of something portrayed by society or an idea from the media. It made me find the joy in the sadness, and the pain in happiness.
The Omen (2006)
Horrible
I watched all of the original Omens. And I was excited to see the remake. Man was I wrong. After seeing the remake, I was thinking how can they think they did justice to the classic Omen. How could they have thought to lay a finger and tamper with the film! The kid's acting reminded me of the 6th sense kid when he whispers. I have no idea why they casted Stiles, besides to attached a Hollywood name. And Schreiber needs to like, never do another movie again. He was the same throughout the whole movie: expressionless. I mean people complain that actors overact, but man that guy doesn't even do anything. Twitch your face, do something. And it's funny how every time they went looking for a priest, it has to be this hunchback of Notre dame looking ugly, and the over exaggerated music, it's like OK we get its supposed to be scary. And I love the grave part, where he needs help to brush off a couple of centimeters of dirt, to so easily push a lid off of a wannabe coffin. Seeing the gorilla in the zoo made me want to watch King Kong again. But I must admit the nanny was a great villain. She made me want to kick her butt! I couldn't stop laughing during the whole movie, because it was so unbelievable, and dumb. And I could also hear the whole audience around me laughing at the mockery as well, and they were also making comments out loud about the poor film.
V for Vendetta (2005)
flashy fast
Was it just me, or was the movie really really fast, blurry, and kind of drifted. I felt as though everything was going so fast, I couldn't breath, listen, register, and sink in the words and thoughts of the movie. And it was surprising how Eve & V from the beginning were so comfortable with each other. Natalie played Eve as though there was no real character choices. Like it was her portraying herself instead of the character. The movie makes me want to read the book, and see for myself. And I've read and watched F451, 1985, etc... and this movie reminded me of a combination of those books. Movies these days are so sensationalized, and even audiences are getting tired of it, and seeing past the hype and are laughing at the style.
A Prairie Home Companion (2006)
Not exactly what I expected.
I'm surprised at all the great reviews I read about this movie on this website. I watched the movie because of them, and after wards I was thinking whether or not I missed something because it wasn't at all very dramatic, comedic, or life changing. It was rather dull, and one level. And it seemed as though some actors were pushing characterization while others played more realistically. It was difficult to get into the movie in the beginning, while I was trying to figure out where this story was going and why, and what it would be about. Even though none of these questions really were answered, during the middle of the film I started to get into the the movie's slow mood and slow atmosphere. Some people left early. I don't know why, but this movie reminded me of Walk the Line.. just the live singing. And I remember Johnny Cash being mentioned. But it's really interesting to see what a great movie like Walk the Line was, compared to this movie where it seemed to show a different perspective to music back than, and the other people involved. Unless you movie hop, I really think I wasted my money watching this film, and even if I waited for blockbuster, I do not know if I would rent this movie over another really good film that I have not seen yet.
