A story about "Back to the Future"

Back to the Future

I like MJF, and I like Christopher Lloyd. That said, this could’ve been better. Almost worth watching it just for the experience. Couldn’t bring myself to recommend it.

A story about "Air Force One"

Air Force One

by Wolfgang Petersen

This isn’t a “good” movie, it’s a “fun” movie (not mutually exclusive BTW). If you watched only FUN movies, you’d miss out on the sense of wonder that comes with GOOD movies. However, if you watch only good movies, you’d miss out on all the fun. Often it’s the fun movies that you want to see again and again, simply because they make you feel good. The “good” movies may be thought-provoking and awe-inspiring, but often once is enough: you never want to see them again, except maybe for memory refreshment. Long story short, this is a movie to see multiple times. Action movies so often are…

A story about "Ace Ventura - When Nature Calls"

Ace Ventura - When Nature Calls

by Steve Oedekerk

The good parts made me glad I’d suffered trough the bad parts. There were too many painful parts to bother skipping through them all; besides, if you did this you’d miss too much of the movie to make it worth watching any of it. Furthermore, many of the good bits were only funny in (bad) context. It’s worth watching, though. At least once.
In retrospect or introspect or circumspect (looking somewhere, anyway), most movies are worth watching at least once. Expands your world experience. Makes you a more interesting person.

A story about "28 Days Later (Widescreen Edition)"

28 Days Later (Widescreen Edition)

by Danny Boyle

It reminded me an awful lot of “Shaun of the dead” which distracted me throughout the movie with thoughts of how to spoof it, But… I liked it. Only the good movies are worth spoofing. And I did like “Dawn of the dead”, so “Shaun of the dead” was good. Granted they are not mutually inclusive: A good movie can have a bad spoof (not looking at any one in particular, Scary Movie [all of them]!), and a bad movie can have a good spoof. I can’t think of any examples for the latter.

A story about "The Sisterhood"

The Sisterhood

by Murray Ball

Well, it is funny. And it is insightful. But I wouldn’t use this book as my only resource in finding out about feminism, as it shows only one facet: how feminism can be taken to extremes. I believe there are, in fact, people who know when their standing up for a cause is going OTT. According to this book (depending of course upon how you view it- it is I think [hope] not intended to be completely serious), none of the world’s feminists realise when they have reached this point.

A story about "Teddy Bear"

Teddy Bear

i like them best with only fluff in their heads and half fluff in their bodies and plastic pellets in the rest… and some fluff. gives acomforting weight and still nice and soft. and no i’m not talking those beanie babies or whatever they’re called: i mean real, full size teddies.

A story about "The Da Vinci Code (Unabridged)"

The Da Vinci Code (Unabridged)

by Dan Brown

please note i’ve only consumed one version of pretty much everything here, but i couldn’t decide slash remember which each was. so i put them all. on the up side, this makes my read list look bigger. on the down side, the fact that i’ve put doubles that i haven’t even consumed is not a flattering look. ah well.

A story about "Human Nature"

Human Nature

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Widescreen Edition)

by Tim Burton

i could watch this movie a thousand times and not tire of it… as long as every single time i skipped past the oompaloompas. they were a traumatic experience for me when I watched this in the cinema, i had nowhere to hide my eyes.

A story about "Blow Dry"

Blow Dry

by Paddy Breathnach

it didn’t have an awful lot of plot, but it made up for this with funny bits. and the total look (sandra as sandra) at the end was a welcome sight.

silence of the hams

by Ezio Greggio

this movie was unspeakably horrifying. i liked the idea of “animal cannibal pizza”, however this didn’t stop the movie from being one of the worst ever. ever. painful

I prefer Paul Kidby’s illustrations, but the story was adorable.
