well maybe

man I just love watching movies and saying a short little bit about them most likely online after I see them.

*Narc (2002)- This movie fucking rocked. Wow, what can I say this movie was very good. Narc had such a gritty almost shoestring budget to it that made it very enjoyable. I thought the first scene was completely intense. I remember seeing it in the movies just with a look on my face like "Whoa". That guy really caught it, getting stabbed in the neck with some hardcore drugs. I first thought just "man, that guy is fucked". Go check this movie. You got my complete recommendation.


*My BlueBerry Nights(2007)- This movie was pretty terrible. I didn't think Norah Jones showed any acting ability at all. I was even disappointed in her choice of styles and looks (in the film). I loved her appearance when she first came out on the scene as a singer, I have no idea what went wrong. Natalie Portman was great in a way too short cameo though. Overall, ended up very disappointed that this was even rented.

*Quantum of Solace(2008)- I am just gonna say this is a reluctant 4 star movie. I just wanna give it a 3 but I can't, I mean the action sequences were sick. I think the dialogue was not as good as the previous "Casino Royale" but it was still a fun ride. I find Daniel Craig does make a great Bond but I miss the thread of jokes that were in the Pierce Bronsnan flicks and stuff. I mean sure he is all business in this one but at least crack a joke or two to lighten the mood, lol. This movie does get a "Go see this one in the theater" recommendation from me.

*Hancock(2008)-Oh man, I just finished watching Hancock yesterday actually and boy did I not like it. First off in a superhero or so called movie, how is there not a main villain for Hancock to deal with (those cheap guys from the prison do not count). I think Will Smith overall is a great actor but this story was all over the place. They need a much better story to make this flow alot smoother. Overall, I just didn't enjoy this at all. Maybe a sex scene between Will and Charlize would've pushed it up to 2.5 or a 3

*The Life Before her eyes (2008)- really did not enjoy this movie and it is sad I was looking forward to it. I really did not like it. I love Uma as an actress in general. The whole movie does not make sense: I mean why do we not find out what Diana's best friend is doing now in her life. I mean she should be an important part of the story. This is my biggest question, Why do we see Older Diana end up seeing her husband with a younger version of herself. How about dem apples?

*Grosse Pointe Blank(1997)-This movie was really good. I know I have seen it at least 4 times. I like the whole idea of the movie. I mean it is a bit weird but awfully cool. Minnie Driver looked adorable and John Cusack just fit that character 100%. It might be time for another viewing of this classic. It has been a while. I also loved the interaction between him and Dan Ackroyd so check the movie out.

*Babylon A.D.(2008)- Yeah so this movie was not that bad. I mean I give it two stars but it could easily get 2.5 or 3. I did happen to see this in the movie theater so that may have warranted my discomfort in giving it a 3. The main Character Toorop played by Diesel was interesting in a way, he was your typical mercenary that also had at least some kind of heart to do things his way no matter what. I recommend seeing this is you and definitely a fan of the Diesel and a big sci fi fan.

*Slumdog Millionaire- This is the ultimate feelgood movie. I know maybe people have said that over the years but this movie takes it to another level. I saw this at the Angelika theater not too long after it opened and was very impressed. The two main actors have very impressive debuts on the big screen. I hope this movie is definitely remembered when it is in time for the Oscars. It deserves to win something. So go out and see this movie right now, even if you feel it is not your "cup of tea", you might have a really good time with this one.
