Some movies

Well its been a while....... what to begin with?

I guess I'll just shoot right into movies that I've seen since I last updated. I don't think I will remember all of them, so here is a choice list of the ones I can remember off the top of my head.

The Squid and the Whale - I liked this movie a lot. It was funny (not as funny as Life Aquatic), but it also had a lot of oddness in it that people have come to expect from Noah Baumbach. I thought Jeff Daniels was awesome by the way, completely under appreciated.

Brokeback Mountain - This probably should win best picture in a very slow academy year. My favorite movie of the year, Millions, was left off the Oscar ballot (no shit), so I have to go with Brokeback. And Lee is pretty frickin good (I also just saw The Ice Storm recently and that is also quite good) and all the actors didn't bother me. In fact, Anne Hathaway is pretty hot, just a tip.

Munich - If Brokeback wasn't there, I would say this movie for best picture. As it is, I still really liked this movie and oh yeah, Eric Bana's the jam!

The Matador - This was a much funnier movie than I expected. Pierce Brosnan was really good. His timing and delivery made it hard to believe that he hasn't really been in a very big comedy type movie before.

Bloodrayne and Underworld Evolution - Both of these movies were awesome. Everyone who loves movies that are too bad to really be bad should watch these. We received one of the thousands of Bloodrayne prints that were sent out to theatres that weren't scheduled to play the movie, so we put it together and laughed our asses off. Uwe Boll truly is the master of complete shit. Hey, he takes advantage of good German tax law to make free movies and then just pays taxes on his measly profits, which reminds me to get my German citizenship so I can write off all my movie expenses. Underworld wasn't as trashy and smutty as the first one, but it did have Kate Beckinsale in tight leather and the unparalleled acting of Scott Speedman.

The New World - This movie was long, boring and awesome. This movie should win best cinematography and I'm surprised that it is the only nod the movie received.

That's all I can think of right now, probably not even a third of the movies I've seen recently, but I'm too excited that Jack Bauer is back, kicking ass like he should be.

Uwe Boll is an auteur, possibly the greatest director of this or any other decade. Give him an Oscar all ready.
