The Constant Gardener

I watched this one with my girlfriend last night, and although it isn't the type of film I'd normally be interested in, I was quite surprised at the quality. Ralph Fiennes does an excellent job in his role as usual. The story (about conspiracies among pharmaceutical companies) is really quite compelling, and it kept me glued to my seat until the final frame. Overall: 8/10

Flight of the Phoenix [2004]


From a big budget Hollywood film, there are a couple thing that you can expect: Half-decent actors and good basic CGI. Despite being a big-budget Hollywood film, this had neither. The view from the cockpit looked about as realistic as the driving in old sit-coms does. Dennis Quaid usually gives an OK performance, but mostly due to the awful script he is pretty bad in this one. Really, I think the script was the biggest downfall of the whole movie. The characters had no depth whatsoever, most of the lines was awful, and it even made actors that are typically very good look very, very bad, EX- David Quaid and Hugh Laurie. The only somewhat well written character was one of the least likable characters I've seen in a very long while. The action moves way to fast, there is no time what-so-ever for anything to develop. Plot items are introduced, then forgot about entirely. This movies doesn't even work as a mindless time-killer, I don't recommend it in the least. After seeing this, I'm more worried than ever about The Omen remake. They are directed by the same person...all I can say is be afraid. Be very afraid...

3.5/10

EDIT- Added a couple lines + Typos

Didn't want to quote returns massive review, but i agree completely. I didn't like that movie very much at all, and they *spoiler* ending where they got away on that plane was retarded. 3/10 for me.

The Cave

0/10

I still stand firmly behind my opinion that The Cave is the worst movie I've ever seen. I'm talking worse than Manos, the Hands of Fate here. Absolute garbage.

Scooby-Doo and the Legend of the Vampire

I watched this last night when I was baby-sitting the kids, and, as far as kids flicks go, this wasn't that bad. Well, I enjoyed it more and less because I'm a Scooby-Doo fan. Hell, I just found my little collection of Scooby-Doo videos last Saturday, and have been watching some of the tapes this past week. And, for the kids to pick this out to watch to fall asleep to was cool for me. I found myself enjoying the hour-plus of this Scooby-Doo movie, and am glad to see that the people who provide their voices to the characters sounding a lot like the original cast. This is a good watch if you have kids, or still watch Scooby-Doo.

4 out of 5 stars
