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.

What do you think of that "Whats New Scooby Doo?" show? Im a Scooby fan too, but that show is awful, an insult to the original. I still watch it from time to time though, its on about the same time that I wake up on weekends:p

fuck that show, the original ALL THE WAY, even though they're 70000 times more predictable. a guy in a mask? NO FRICKING WAY! never saw it coming.

I just saw Final Fantasy: Advent Children. Being a huge fan of FInal Fantasy 7 this was obviously astounding. It's great to see all my favorite characters fleshed out.

The story was a little convuluded (sp?) and not always completley sensical but still a hell of a lot of fun. There was a mini convention here in Waterloo, free with a special showing.

Kick ass.

A Different Loyalty


For me, the biggest thing that can make or break a movie is it's characters. The characters in this film, however, had about as much depth as a Kleenex. For the first half hour or so of the film, I found myself thinking "Who cares?". Basically, we're introduced to two people who meet and fall madly in love....in the first 5 minutes of the movie. No character development to speak of, and they certainly didn't change or grow during the course of the movie. Everett and Stone had zero chemistry, so the love scenes just looked forced and awkward. On top of all this, the film had no flow to it what-so-ever; it cut back and forth so quick and so often it was hard to keep track. Somehow it did manage to keep my attention throughout, so I guess that buys it a few points....but in general, this is a very poor film. Don't bother wasting 100 minutes of your life, watch something else.

2.5/10

Manhunter


Ive been waiting a long time to watch this film, and by God was it worth the wait. This is a film that has many great elements converging together, and there are very few weak parts. The performances are what really elevate the film though, William Patterson is phenominal, as is Brian Cox and the rest of the supporting cast. Though I still think I prefer Hopkins as Hannibal, Cox did a great job as the first person to breath life into the classic serial killer. I was also very impressed with Tom Noonan as Dollarhyde, made the character very convincing and almost pitiful. Great performance. The plot had some very nice and unexpected twists, especially near the end. Speaking of near the end, the use of Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was incredible. I will never hear the song the same way again. To some up, I say check this out if you want to see some great acting, hear some great music, and experiance a side of the story that Red Dragon neglected.

8/10

PS- A rather creepy coincidence. I turned off the the DVD player when this movie was over, and what was on the TV? Red Dragon, about half-way through. I decided to flip channels for a bit before coming on here, and what did I find on one of the French channels? Silence of the Lambs. I swear if I found Hannibal on TV somewhere I think I would have passed out...

Irish Jam

Eddie Griffin really needs to take a good role soon. Sure, I had some fun watching him in Deuce Bigalow: European Gigalow, but that's about it. I just wish he wouldn't have accepted the role in Irish Jam. Hell, I wish Irish Jam wouldn't ahve been made. But, I know there's somebody out there who can contradict my opinion. Anyway, story goes a little something like this. Eddie Griffin plays Jimmy, a south-central... hell, I don't know. And I doubt the director did either. Like I was saying, Jimmy is from south-central, and is down on his luck. He's being chased by his fiance, played by Monique, who we don't see much of. But, he sees an ad in the paper about adding a poem into a contest and winning a pub in Ireland. How he seen this ad, I don't know. But, he enters and wins. He's shipped off to Ireland, and all hell breaks loose for lionels_mother's friends. Oh, and he falls in love. All this bullshit was wrapped up in a sugercoated present, and sent right into my DVD player. The only good thing that I can comment about this movie is the strong performances by Eddie Griffin and Anna Friel. Without them, this movie would've recieved 0 out of 5 stars. But, it didn't. But, it is a sugercoated candy cane of shit!

Half a star out of 5
