quick movie review

I'm not in a wordy mood but here's my ratings on dvds and movies I have watched in the last few months: I"ve linked them to their official sites so you can watch the trailers and read up about them and see if the film might be in your interest.

Enigma ***
Nacho Libre **
Jackass 2 **
The Zookeeper ***
Phonebooth ****
V for Vendetta *****
Tears of the Sun ***
Basic *****
Coffee and Cigarettes ***
Pulp Fiction ***
A Series of Unfortunate Events **
Get Rich or Die Trying *****
The Interpreter ****
Batman Begins ***
The Spanish Apartment ***
To End all Wars *****
Jarhead ****
Inside Man ***
Walk the Line *****

This list should keep you busy if you need to fill in some viewing gaps. Movies rated * or ** stars I wouldnt recommend so watch at your own risk :)

Glad to see some new posts...but...but...

Rating Series of Unfortunate Events at 2?! I'm in shock. Jim Carey plays a bad actor (what other role could he play?); excellent book to movie translation of many in-jokes; best mainstream child acting since...Ever.

And the end credits are a masterpiece! That's serious animation, baby.

[breathes deeply] I just had to get that off my chest.

okay okay. Perhaps in my ignorance having never read the book I underscored the film. Jim Carey is the perfect actor for the role although I guess where I scored it down was the overacting by all the actors, it left no subtlety but perhaps thats because it is more of a kids film. I felt like the humour is spoon fed and didnt give me a chance to interpret it for myself.

Having said that on second thoughts I would take it up to a 3 ***

You're probably still shocked though huh!

watched V for Vendetta recently, loved it. eye-candy effects, amazing how much character they developed into a mask, then again, maybe he was more than a mask...
