Fahrenheit 9/11 |
2004 |
2/5 |
  |
Not that good actually. Didn't learn too much I didn't already know, movie is very
one-sided, jumped around a lot, some things didn't make sense or seem accurate, and it just didn't seem finished (and I
hate Bush!). Interesting though because it's a big political "documentary" #1 at the box office right before an
election. |
Godsend |
2004 |
1/5 |
  |
Teeeeeerrible!! The characters actions are nonsense, and the movie is riddled with errors. How is
moving out of the city to a small town going to keep the fact that your son is a clone more of a secret?? |
I, Robot |
2004 |
3/5 |
  |
Yet another "bots trying to take over the world" movie, but not bad. |
Kill Bill Vol. 2 |
2004 |
2/5 |
  |
Let's bring down the comedy and tone down the action, then have long non-comedic conversations.
Sorry, should've been cut into one movie. |
The Manchurian Candidate |
2004 |
3/5 |
  |
A strong 3, borderline 4. |
Spider-Man 2 |
2004 |
3/5 |
  |
Better than the first, but why weren't Dr. Octopus's arms attracted to that magnetic mini-sun
sucking in even cars from around the city? Spidey losing his powers because he didn't feel like being a super-hero
anymore was also nonsense. Good story. Could've teased us more with the Mary-Jane relationship but they gave us
what we wanted to see, nice! :-D |
The Stepford Wives |
2004 |
2/5 |
  |
Are these robots or women's brains rewired? If just brains rewired then how do they change
boob size and malfunction and spin super fast and exhaust smoke? Erroneous movie. |
The Terminal |
2004 |
3/5 |
  |
Didn't expect it to be very good, but it was! |
Troy |
2004 |

Long and generally unsatisfying for me. |

Action packed & hilarious. |

The Matrix Reloaded |
2003 |
3/5 |
  |
Story starts to get confusing. Cool scenes, camera work, and beautiful display of
cinematic technology, but an unnecessary sequel. |
The Matrix Revolutions |
2003 |
2/5 |
  |
What was the point of these sequels? An extra two movies just to say "actually, we should work
and learn to live with bots"?? And talk about not knowing how to end a trilogy. Very abrupt and
unsatisfying ending (they should've watched "The Return of the King" and learned how to do it). Too bad for
the first Matrix movie that they put these next two out. |
The Missing |
2003 |
2/5 |
  |
Starts off good, but then gets boring and long. Had a good laugh when one of the deleted scenes on the
DVD was the "extended version ending". |

Movie isn't bad, and Mike Myers is funny. |
28 Days Later |

{Dear Hollywood: How about you make even more zombie movies.} And it wasn't scary. |

Numerous minor fixes would have made this great movie better. |

Spider-Man |
2002 |
3/5 |
  |
Didn't follow the comic book schematics of Spider-Man or the Green Goblin (and Goblin could've
been less cheesy/childish). Physics weren't very good. Otherwise not bad. |
Antitrust |
2001 |
4/5 |
  |
This is an example of a great (accurate!) computer hacker movie, not fucking Hackers (the joke of
the century). Everything is on point technically here, making it great for us computer geeks, and the story/action
is good enough for non-geeks to enjoy. Reminiscent of the real world and a certain company, lets hope it never gets
this bad in real life. |
Revolution OS |
2001 |
3/5 |
  |
Very good documentary on the Free Software/Open Source movements. Think I'd be
bored watching this if I wasn't a computer geek, yet I've shown it to a couple people who aren't computer geeks but have
a bit of interest as to where Linux comes from and they enjoyed it. |
The Royal Tenenbaums |

Spy Kids |

0/5 |
  |
This is the worst movie I have ever seen. The special effects are absolutely horrible, terribly fake
looking, storyline sucks, all the characters are annoying, the girl is an annoying too-much-of-a-tomboy, then the boy is
such a pussy, they just aggravate me. I know there were tons more things I cannot recall that sucked. |

How cute is Cameron Diaz! |
Abre Los Ojos |

5/5 |
  |
Very impressive. There was a remake entitled "Vanilla Sky", haven't seen it but I
don't recommend substituting as it looks to be very hollywooded-out. |
I Shot Andy Warhol |
1996 |
3/5 |
  |
Well it was interesting enough to prompt me to research Valerie Solanas and even read the Scum Manifesto, only to realize that Valerie Solanas
is a fucking idiot and get pissed off that I wasted time reading the piece of shit. Not necessarily her fault
though - good example of what happens when daddy fucks his little girl. |
Four Rooms |
1995 |

Very funny and fun. My favorites are the last two stories. |

Loved this movie when I was a kid, not as good now as it was then, but still fun. |

Oh what a great conclusion!! And what a great ending! :-) LOVE IT!
Oh by the way, contrary to popular opinion, I'm not actually about Princess Leia in the gold bikini, I
think she looks better and cuter in the first two movies, best is in that white snow outfit in Empire
Strikes Back - thats what I'm all about! |
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back |

This is my favorite one. |

Star Wars |
1977 |
5/5 |
  |
Slow start, but they develop the characters well during this time, and it just
turns out great: the characters, the story, the feeling. I think what many non-fans that don't care to see the original
Star Wars trilogy fail to understand is it's not really a sci-fi space-movie, it's really a story about a
father and his son. |
Chinatown |
1974 |
2/5 |
  |
Very slow and boring. Maybe it just can't keep up with my 21st century conditioning. People keep
calling this one of the few "perfect movies" but I fail to see why. "And there are no mistakes in it" - oh yeah,
like a 1970s handgun shooting at a car speeding far away and just happening to get a death shot, {thats very likely.} |
Charade |

I mean, Audrey Hepburn is so damn cute. |
The Birth of a Nation |
1915 |
2/5 |
  |
Very well done for the first real movie, but it's really fucked up that people thought this
distorted & racist view of history is what really happened (this makes the score low). |
