Last night, I kept pushing along through Twin Peaks Season 2. One disc to go before the end of the series, and it’s losing some steam.

Bridge to Terabithia

This film was not at all what I expected it to be. For starters, I was expecting it to be good. On top of that, I was under the impression it was a "dark fairy tale" sorta story kind of like Pan's Labrynth or something. It wasn't until I popped it in the DVD player that I learned it was a movie about 2 social rejects that spend all their free time playing in their imagination land. Retarded! There's a 'My Girl'-esque curveball in there, but even that can't help this lame piece of shit. I suppose if you knew what you were getting into instead of expecting something completely different than what you got, you may like it better than me, but I'd have a hard time recommending this one to anyone except little kids. The acting, directing and FX were all good, but I just thought the story was stupid as can be.

The Relic (1997)

Pretty damn fun, but the book left so much more potential. The gore was crazy-good, though.

Robocop 3.
Totally disappointing after the first two sleek films.
There was no use wasting the Nancy Allen character, Officer Lewis, right at the start.
And the cyborg ninjas and Robocop flying? A total downer.
It is indeed a shame to see the promising franchise give out such a bad sequel.

just seven? god, if i was the lord of the underworld it'd be more like 7000. who'd have thought beelzebub was humble?

The King Kong remake with Jessica Lange and Jeff Bridges. I remember loving it as a kid, but man is it cheesy. Jessica, however, is still the sexiest woman to ever be captured on film. Just wow.

Waiting

As dumb as it is, it's painfully accurate. Anyone who has ever waited tables in a corporate cookie-cutter restaurant will see the truth in the silliness. I laughed.

5/10 unless stoned, then it's more like 7/10

Bridge to Terabithia

I'm going to have to disagree with Bwind on this one. I found it charming and affecting. The kids were entranced by the story and the wife cried. Nothing groundbreaking, but it was an uplifting tale set in a very real world that I found quite entertaining. There was the one musical montage while painting the house that made me cringe, but it really was the only cringy moment for me.

Thanks for posting about it, I wasn't sure, but now I am moving it up on my netflix list. :) I absolutely adored the book when I was a kid.

I actually loved Bridge to Terabithia, because it was different from the fairy-tale-ish stuff that Hollywood has been spewing lately.

It was a coming-of-age movie, and most parents should definitely take their kids to see this one.

Quoting from my Movie Reviews page...

It's not Narnia. It's not Harry Potter and it's not Lord of the Rings. And no, it's not even Pixar or Disney animation. Yet, its one of the sweetest, most meaningful movies about kids and their world. More importantly, there's no mumbo-jumbo about magic, monsters and witchcraft. The monsters are there, the wizards are there, the magical world is there, but it's all born out of the natural imagination that kids possess in varying degrees.

The movie pointedly makes a plea to adults to allow their kids to 'open up their minds' instead of cramming them, regimenting them and brain-washing them. Plus, there's a beautiful tale of teen bonding and friendship that carries the movie through...

Welcome to the real world of real pre-adolescents. Jess is a lonely, introverted fifth-grader who fights off his alienation through colours and sketches. Bogged down by his parents' economic hardships and the regular school bullies, he mopes his way until Leslie, the new girl, arrives in school. Leslie opens up a whole new world for him and teaches him the importance of 'connecting' with family, friends, the inner self and the fantasy world.

Take the kids for this movie and let it wash over your and their hearts. They ll love it. And so will you.

Recommended.

Bridge to Tarabithia- my kids loved it.
I was under the impression is was going to be a vastly different movie...and I Hate movies where a kid dies.


The Fountain- meandering, vague, had no character development, visually stunning, dazzling, and emotionally heart wrenching.
I think it will be a movie to watch if you are in the mood for it, and terrible if you're not. Rachel Weisz is WELL lighted in this movie, she looks ethereal (which is the point, I know).

Excellent spooky entertainer with a good dose of bumpy-jumpy scares thrown in. Direction is great, atmosphere is taut and pacy, and Cusack delivers as usual.

Most of you know the plot already, and I aint saying more cuz it will spoil the movie for you.

Just go watch it. You ll love it!:D

Straight Time (1978)

Saw this one at the Billy Wilder Theater as part of the LA Film Fest. A really cool film based on Eddie Bunker's brilliant novel No Beast So Fierce. Dustin Hoffman, Harry Dean Stanton, Gary Busey, Theresa Russell, M Emmet Walsh and a then-unknown Kathy Bates show us the addictive nature of criminality. Really cool 70s cinema that just isn't made anymore.

8/10

Hoffman, Stanton & Russell were there and participated in a panel discussion. I was just a few feet from Dustin Hoffman AND Harry Dean Stanton!!!!!!!!
