Just watched King Arthur. What a bum! I completely agree with Hemel. It could've been much better in the hands of a good producer (and director!).

Yeah, but were you really surprised by that? *BoP has seen the trailers, is plans on avoiding it like the plague*
Chronicles of Riddick. Bad script and acting aside, I liked it. 'Specially Riddick. And some of those set designs and costumes were really kewl. Definitely a departure from Pitch Black though (where Riddick was less superman, and more evil sinister killer dude).

I watched a movie called Boys on HBO. I didn't really like it but Lukas Haas was in it so I stayed interested. He's such a great actor, I'm suprised he's not more famous...

I just watched:
Mystic River: Amazing movie. The actors in it were incredible Cold Mountain: A little slow, but still a good movie. Repo Man: Already seen it many times...still a great movie. It's so funny. U-Turn: Very odd movie, pretty good. Sean Penn was great, same with most of the cast, except for Jennifer Lopez (why would they cast her in this movie? She's a horrible actress) |

I loved Mystic River. I went to see it in the theater and I had never seen a preview or even heard of it.
I wathed Lost Boys today. I thought it was pretty funny even though it was supposed to be horror. It's hard for me to believe that that kind of clothing was so cool 20 years ago. It's probably what Queen of the Damned will be like in about 20 years . I also saw Solaris. A lot of people have said that the movie was increadably boring but I thought it was the most artful and beautiful movie I had ever seen. Every frame of the movie was beautiful. I recomend it to anyone whose not looking for an action packed Vin Diseal or Jackie Chan movie but prefers something more artful and beautiful and deep.

Yeah. That was it. It was pretty good, aside from Jennifer Lopez. Billy Bob Thorton was hilarious as the mechanic fixing Sean Penn's car.

Saw Kissing a fool starring "Ross" from Friends amongst others. He's not a particularly good actor.

Yeah, it's a good film. Julie Walters was good in it, as I remember (it's been a while...)

I just saw American History X. It was recommended to me a long time ago by a German exchange student who stayed at my house, but I only just watched it yesterday. I thought it was a great movie, and I'm anxious for my mom to see it to so we can talk about it.

Oh that is a great movie. I watched some of it yesterday and talked to my father about it. He should see it too.

Yeah. I'm assuming you have seen the whole movie, not just what you watched yesterday? The end was so sad...*sniff* I guess it was on again really late last night, but I didn't know or else I'd have taped it. Guess I have to go to Family Video.

The Mothman Prophecies. Weird, and the third act was certainly not powerful enough for the build-up of the first two.

Watched 13 going on 30 yesterday. To be honest, I expected it to be much better than that. There just wasn't as much comedy as you'd expect from the trailers.
