Kevin's Watch

The Dawn of the Dead Remake on the other hand, was extremely good. And the DVD has a mock newscast in the special features that's about 20 minutes long, which stars Richard Biggs (Dr. Stephen Franklin from Babylon 5) and is a really fantastic companion piece to the remake movie. For those who like the Daily show, or are media watch dogs, or even the ones who liked the Babylon 5 ISN episodes ought to get a real charge outta this one.

Hero. It's got some lovely fight scenes, gorgeously shot with some clever use of color. But the plot is tissue paper thin and the pacing is lethargic at best. As for the ending, well:

Spoiler

After all the exposition, the titular hero tells the proto-emperor that he's decided not to kill him. All very well, but then why turn up and make it clear that he was going to, thereby ensuring his own execution? Why not just go to the beach or something?

Yeah, I was quite pleased with the Dawn of the Dead remake. I'll have to rent the DVD to see the Biggs thing, I was/am a huge B5 fan.

Constantine. Dumbest movie I've seen this year.

Meet the Fockers.

Absolute tripe, I can't believe DeNiro stooped to this garbage.

DeNiro doesn't make good movies anymore.

The Heist was pretty good, but that's about it.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

The Crow: Wicked Prayer. I'm almost hesitant to put this in the anti-recommendation thread. It's so bad it's funny. It's original Evil Dead bad. Maybe even Plan 9 bad. After Intermedio, I wasn't surprised to see Edward Norton <<edit: Edward Furlong>> suck (worst...... Crow....... ever). Looked like he was trying out for The Cure. Asrael who works at Cinnabon (SNL) was scarier. I was surprised to see Boreanaz suck. And Dennis Hopper gets the Raul Julia in Street Fighter Award. Danny Trejo is usually good for a scene or two, but the only thing about his performance that will stick in my mind are his man-teats bouncing around during a bare-chested Crow Dance. Oh, and Tara Reid is in this movie, but her character (ok, all the characters) is so 2-dimensional you can't see it if your couch sits at an angle from your TV.

Script - garbage. Direction - could only dream of being called garbage. In fact, I'm not sure if there was any direction. I think Lance Mungia is a fictitious person. If he's not, he should be.

In short: watch this movie. Glory in its suckitude with me.

1 out of 10.... million

Ummm, you mean Edward Furlong. Poster child of Why Not To Do Drugs.

Man, I should send Norton an apology letter for that one. Yeah.

I just watched Hide and Seek over the weekend.

Just another suspense thriller that is supposed to keep you guessing to the end what is really going on.

Not even halfway through I figured it out. Ever since The Sixth Sense, there have been countless movies that have tried to capture the essence of what was accomplished in that film.

Hide and Seek is just another not so good attempt of trying to cash in on The Sixth Sense phenomenon.

Alexander. Too long for one thing. And Colin Ferrell's pathetic imitation of Mel Gibson as William Wallace left me shaking my head and cringing. He isn't a bad actor but he doesn't have the chops for this kind of role.

And he looked ridiculous with Blonde hair. Black haired men shouldn't dye thier hair blond

Yes, that too!

BOOOO! HISSSSS!



Speaking of....anyone seen him in anything lately? The last thing I recall was "The 25th Hour", and that was a couple years ago.

www.imdb.com/name/nm0001570/
Italian Job, Kingdom of Heaven, and the Down in the Valley. The upcoming movie The Illusionist looks like it could be good.

I actually was at a couple of the same parties as him back in high school. Talked to him a few times and ran stage lighting for a play he was in. Nice guy, very driven. No surprise at all he's famous.

Lucky SOB got to do the horizontal bop with Salma Hayak. Meh, I guess he deserves it.

This has been recommended strongly to me. Having said that, it was recommended by the same person who thought Constantine was fantastic

I wish I had 2 hours and 17 minutes of my life back.....

Casino Royale ....how could a movie with David Niven, Woody Allen and Peter Sellers be bad, right?

Oh soooooo wrong!

Casino Royale--sucks! Even Ursula's eye candy can't help. Is it supposed to be James Bond, or a comedy, or what? I've never been able to figure it out...
