I thought i'd get one of these going.

Let's try not to flame one another's taste. Keep it friendly. If you don't like something, explain yourself.

Tonight i watched:
Thumbsucker
It's a little movie about a 17 year old boy dealing with growing up and coming to realize that things just aren't going to be easy. He has this habit of sucking his thumb in moments of weakness or sadness, aka depression. I really liked the movie. It's kind of slow, but not too slow. Some of the subject matter kind of hit a little close to home. The feelings of introversion and feeling like nobody wants to be honest, but they expect you to be. Falling for a girl and having her rip out your heart. Trying things for the first time. Finding out the people you thought were your friends, aren't; and finding out the people you thought let you down had only made a mistake. Realizing that even though things are hard and painful, there's still a chance for hope. I got a little chokey at the end, but that's been happening alot lately.
The soundtrack to this movie was fantastic. Polyphonic Spree, Elliott Smith, and music production by Brian Reitzell. It moved the movie along and gave it a fresh hopeful tone.

Wedding Crashers and 40 Year Old Virgin are two funny ones that I have seen lately.

We really liked "Glory Road", but then basketball (high school and college bb) pretty much consumes our lives right now. I've heard it said that the movie was too predictable, but we enjoyed it anyway. And good grief, it's not like there's anyone who doesn't know how the story ends. Of course it's predictable!

Here are some reviews of movies I've seen recently.

Hostel: Ok. I think they wanted to start where Saw left off, and take the gore up a notch. The gore was pretty creepy, but just in a few scenes. But it definitely lacked in the psychological thriller aspect that Saw just excelled at. It was ok, but probably more a wait for DVD type movie.

Brokeback Mountain: There's a reason this movie is in line for a bunch of awards. Very well done. Yeah, it was a bit slow moving in parts. But still held your interest. I think this movie can touch many people. It teaches important lessons that have nothing to do with sexuality. So people from all walks of life can get something from it. For those who have no problem with homosexuality, but just don't want to see gay sex. It's really not a problem. There's only one real love scene, and not much is shown. It lasts for only a few seconds. But again, this movie can touch people of all walks of life.

Red Eye: Decent movie. A bit predictable. But definitely a good rental.

American Pie Presents: Band Camp: There's a reason this was a "straight to video".

Transporter 2: Good flick. Not quite as good as the first. Also a bit predictable. But still good. Was a very short film (less than 1.5 hours). But a good rental. The scenes with the Audi A8 were cool. Very unrealistic, but cool.


I also re-watched one of my favorite films yesterday (I've seen it at least a dozen times) . . .

Bring It On!: One of my favorites. Very campy and entertaining. The quotes from the movie are great. I could watch this movie over and over and over again.
