Crichton vs. Grisham

Sunday, July 16th, 2006

I really like Michael Crichton's books, but every single movie made from his books are horrible (Jurassic Park was alright as a movie, but having read the book, I expected much more. Every other movie has caused me physical pain.) John Grisham's books are alright, but the movies made from ...

But I did what I said I would do. It was pretty good.

The Big Disapointment

Tuesday, December 6th, 2005

I was pretty excited about the new The Big Lebowski special edition. I've never owned a copy of this movie, and I've watched it about a million times, so I figured I'd go get this awesome "special edition." I never really wanted to buy the DVD before because it just ...

Ideas

Sunday, November 27th, 2005

Two ideas came to me yesterday, and they seemed really good to me yesterday. See what you think. 1. Ok, I'm watching Sopranos with Thomas and Kim. We are almost done with the fourth season, so maybe this won't work because of what has happened in subsequent episodes. I think they ...

Walk the Line

Monday, November 21st, 2005

Excellent movie. I never really liked Joaquin Phoenix, but he was great in this movie he was apparently actually singing. I recently read Cash the autobiography, so I think I like this movie a little better than Ray.

Sideways

Thursday, May 12th, 2005

In a fit of movie watching that proved my complete lack of pop-cultural I.Q., I watched the movie Sideways (that's the title, not the orientation of my head while I was watching it, although I have noticed that I have no trouble watching movies while lying in my bed with ...

The Incredibles

Tuesday, November 9th, 2004

I say that The Incredibles is a very good movie... you should see it. (It is from Pixar (definitely their best...))

Hero

Thursday, August 19th, 2004

As good as it is (just finished watching it,) I predict that it won't be a big hit in the US... Or, at least, it won't be properly appreciated here.

Napoleon Dynamite

Wednesday, July 21st, 2004

Run, don't walk to see Napoleon Dynamite. Best comedy I've seen in 21 years (even better than Big Lebowski) AND it is PG.

DVD Menus

Thursday, April 1st, 2004

Ok... umm why can't people make a real loop for DVD Menus? I've never seen a DVD that didn't come to a screeching halt, and begin again at the beginning of the Menu video. Lets just get this one right guys...
