The beginning of Batman Begins was extremely good. The end was boring and predictable.
LOL. I guess you did not need to read past "1. Munich ..........."
Even though one of the kung fu masters was a queer? I thought it was a fun movie, but I would not let the young kids watch it.
Doom was a very poor movie, that seemed more like the cutting floor scraps from "Aliens".
Didn't Spiderman 2 come out this year?
He laughed. He said "The Ring" would do the trick. He told me not to watch it unless I was alone in the house...all the lights out and the Dolby 5.1 turned up.
One week later, the rest of the family was out for the evening. I decided to give it a shot. I prepared my usual "Dad's home alone" meal of sauerkraut and bratwurst (my family hates the smell.)
I teed up the DVD and let 'er rip.
As you said...OMG. After the scene with the water on the floor in the bedroom....I decided to pause the movie and get something to drink. While in the kitchen...only one night light on....all was silent yet I heard noises. Noises that I'd probably been hearing for years in that house. Noises that my subconscious had been aware of but I had not. Now these noises instantly creeped me out.
Yet, I quickly returned to watch the rest of the movie. I was creeped out for about a week as well.
7 days......

Absolute shite with a plot line stolen from a few dozen old TV programs.
I went to a truly scary haunted house at halloween. In one of the "rooms" there was a television perched in the corner. It started to flicker on and the ring symbol came up. Then a strobe light started going and I realized that behind me was "the well" from the movie - done perfectly - and a woman crawling out of it. With the strobe affect and the make-up and everything, this woman could have passed for the one in the movie. She came up out of the well, then the lights flicked off and when they came back on she was gone. Wickedly frightening stuff that our local VFD did.
The best hooror flick of all time is, "Bruce Campbell vs. the Army of Darkness."
"Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun."
"You found me beautiful once."
"Honey, you got real ugly."
"Hail to the king, baby."
I must've missed that part. I don't recall any queers.
I went to see Sideways, no wait, that may have been last year
Anyone else noticing the little vignette being
played out about this years moves and HolltPukes
Left, in general, in regards to the upcoming Oscars?
>Bo)
Seems like *nobody* wants to get tarred by hosting them!
This may not only be a vrecord low viewership year, but
also the worst attended one as well.
BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Well, the Aristocrats (NC-17) is about everyone in Hollywood describing the most perverse acts they can think up, in the context of telling a joke.
"So this family shows up at a Vaudeville audition. The talent agent asks, 'So what do you do.' [insert perversions] 'Well what do you call your act," the shocked talent agent says. 'the Aristocrats' the family answers."
That's it; countless starts desrcibing the most perverse and disgusting things they can think of. Period.
Grizzly Man (R) is a biography about that idiot who thought bears were necessarily harmless, disregarded warnings that the bears were acting edgy, and got himself and his girlfriend eaten by bears. It made $4M.
Mysterious Skin (NC-17) made under $1M.
Junebug (R) made under $3M.
Munich (R) made about $5M; It cost over $70M to produce, but it just came out last weekend.
Me, You and Everyone We Knew (R) made $4M.
The Three Burials of Migiades Estrada (The guy from CHIPs? :^D) (U) made a whopping $30,000.
Ballet Russes (U) made $300,000.
Nobody Knows (PG-13) made $680,000. (This is the one from the-Numbers which anybody liked.)
The-Numbers.com never even heard of The Best of Youth.
Sara Silverman: Jesus is Magic (U) made under $1M. It's not even a movie; it's a stand-up hate screed!
Funny Ha Ha (U) made $77,000 in 2 theaters.
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (R) would seem like a blockbuster: $4M. Too bad it cost $15M to make, and $13M to market.
Darwin's Nightmare (U) made $0.1 M.
Nine Lives made (R) $0.35M. With a cast of Dakota Fanning, Glenn Close, Aidan Quinn, Holly Hunter, Sissy Spacek, and Robin Wright Penn.
Apparently, by "best movies," the critic means, "films only I've seen."
I couldn't the violent convulsions made it impossible to read the screen ;)
My bad. I confused it with Kung Fu Hustle.
The only movie on the list that was ever seen outside a small little arts theater in Manhattan was "Wallace and Gromit."
I'm shocked anyone from Slate has the time to watch ANY movie, what with all the insane Bush-bashing and left-wing propaganda crap they have to write.
Amazing. One sits there for hours and comes to care deeply about a bunch of birds.
wHAT??? 'Becket' didn't even get an Honourable Menton?
