Friday The Thirteenth:Jason Goes To Hell 5/10

Dog Day Afternoon

It was pretty cool. Al Pacino does a good job and the main cop guy is hilarious when he's yelling at all th eidiot deputies, which is often. It's a weird movie, but then again truth is stranger than fiction and this is based on a true story. Every synopsis I read of the film talked about the plot being about AL Pacino trying to rob a bank to get money in order to help his gay lover afford a sex change so I wasn't in any big hurry to watch it, thinking it was like some arthouse crap I wouldn't like, but that was actually a really minor subplot in really cool bank robbery film.

House Of Wax (1953)

So, I finally got around to watching this one. After the fact that I saw the "remake" first, I now see that the "remake" isn't really a remake at all. It's a completely new twist and invisionment on this old story. Truth be told, this version is a remake itself. Almost exact actually. But anyway:

7/10

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

Have seena lot of movies new to me anyway:

Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest
Pirates of the Carribean: At world's end

The Hitcher (remake)
Disturbia

The Score

I liked all of them, but disturbia wasnt so great. I was surprised at how much i liked the hitcher. The POTC movies are good mostly mindless fun. I like that Phil from Shaun of the Dead is Davy Jones.

Next in line:
Zodiac
The Gravedancers

pretty in pink - 7/10

Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer

My 4 year old really wanted to go see it, so...

It is a little better than the first film, but that isn't saying much. The acting (aside from Chris Evans' Johnny Storm and Doug Jones' Silver Surfer) is some of the worst I've seen in a major motion picture in some time. The direction is ham-fisted, the dialog is atrocious, the special effects are only "special" in the short-bus sense of the word and Jessica Alba's terrible blonde dye-job and phony blue contacts are sooooo distracting. What's worse is that every time a picture of Sue Storm appears on a TV or a newspaper (which is over-used) her eyes are their natural brown! Whats the very worst is that they somehow make one of the foxiest females in Hollywood look... kinda dowdy:mad:

4/10
