The Terminal

This movie had a few weird elements for me. I’m not sure I bought into Tom Hank’s quick study of english through TV news tickers. CZJ was an unsympathetic and in some respects uninteresting character for me. There were good laughs, but something seemed hollow. I will probably need to see this again on DVD to make a final judgement.

Shrek 2

An almost amazing flick. I found some of the visual qualities of the characters very distracting. I think it was partly due to the lame AMC Santa Monica theater we were in. I’m spoiled by digital projection, brand new theaters, the arclight, etc. And I hate commercials at the movies. Right off the bat, my movie watching experience turns ugly watching ad after ad. Oh well. Like i said, almost amazing. If you loved Shrek, you’ll definitely like Shrek 2.

Zombie Reagan

Pretty sure I should wait till the official week of mourning is over, but Bush / Zombie Reagan is #2 on blogdex. I guess that means I’m joining tens of thousands of bloggers who enjoy a good laugh with questionable taste. Be sure to read the FAQ and media pages. [ oh yeah, tomorrow is the officlal day of mourning, so I think I’m OK by posting today. Uh oh. Just read Flounder4real. His

makes me wonder if he’ll be amused by Zombie Reagan. Oh well. ]

Stanley Cup

AH!! I heard they were out of space on the Cup, and they’d be adding a new ring to make space. Thought that was weird, that the cup would eventually get so big players couldn’t lift it. But duh! I just heard they ‘retire’ a ring when they add a new one. Ah ha.. (and p.s. I’m so glad the Cup wasn’t decided by that horrible call on the Bolt’s Pratt in the 3rd. Yikes!)

Harry Potter 3

Maybe Natalie Portman could have improved this movie, but other than that, I’m not sure what cuold. Good ‘ol Hagrid.

Van Helsing

Could the special effects in this movie been any more h0kie? It’s really too bad. Whatshername looked promising in this movie, but she just didn’t work. The 3 women vampires, who I think were discovered at Hooter’s, weren’t sexy in the least bit. All and all, just not worth the time. (and, yeah! I saw this movie a long time ago but I just got around to posting. I’ve been busy, sorry.)

Shaolin Soccer

Don’t watch the <no-linky>trailer</no-linky> for this movie! Like practically every trailer made today, it would suck the surprise right out of your movie going experience. At times it’s so wacky, I was too stunned to fully enjoy it. Hence the less than perfect ipaul rating. As myk said, it’s easy to see why this was such a popular movie in hong kong.
