Watched part of Schumacher's commentary, too - just to see if he could defend himself somehow. I quit once he started talking about how important it is for a movie to be "toy-able". Jesus H. Christ...
I think the term "souless money whore" applies here.

Swept off my feet. Hats off to the makers!



(A small incident to note - When I popped it in and the initial interview with the fire chief was on, my wife peeked at the TV and asked what I was watching. I said it was a real-life "Recording" one of my friends sent me, and had asked me to watch it when I was totally alone with nobody to disturb me. She got curious, and insisted upon seeing it too. I shrugged like a good hubby, and started from the beginning...

By the first 30 mins, she was clutching my right hand tightly, muttering "GOD!", repeatedly, under her breath...

By the 45th minute, she slowly said "I dont think I can take this any more"...

By the 55th minute, she looked at me incredulously and asked "Surely this cant be real! Can it? Tell me this is just another movie of yours..."

End credits, she was sitting on the couch, totally stunned...holding a large pillow very close to her chest...

I finally felt bad for her, and softly murmured "Yes, it was a movie..."

She heard me, but didnt move...)


:D

I forgot to mention...when the other fireman falls down from the top, she literally had a minor heart-attack (jumped right out of her skin!!) ;)

Resurrection : This was the closest thing to Seven as I could find (which in my book gives it extra points). Overall, a pretty decent detective flick. The acting however is the movie's downfall. I guess if you can look past that you should be able to enjoy this one. 6.5/10

A Clockwork Orange


Now dont flame me for this but this was my first time viewing this and I didn't think it was the masterpiece people claim it is.I think mainly because it was hyped up by so many people and I expected to much of it.And I dont speak 70's British and had a hard time understanding alot of what they where saying.

But I will say that Malcom Mcdowell put on a hell of a performance.

It's not 70s British- it's future slang. The book is written with quite a bit of it. They toned it down for the movie, but you still get a feeling for it. Perhaps this led to the confusion which hampered your understanding of and appreciation for the film.
