Stick It.
I took my sister to see it and just got home. It wasn't that bad. Not exactly the deepest movie but pretty much what I expected. Typical teen feel-good movie.

Room 6. Nothing spectacular, but still worth a rental.

"Dark City"
I find this very "Orwellian" and enjoy it most on that basis alone (reading 1984 in high school was probably one of the most "life-influencing books" I've read).
Anyway, without giving the whole film away (I hate ruining films for other people)... I'm going to post a very brief "synopsis".
John Murdoch awakes at the beginning to find himself in a hotel room bathtub, having once again "commited a murder" in a string of serial killings.
Starting with a call from the doctor, who we will find out is behind the amnesia that makes it possible for John Murdoch to be "framed" as a serial killer, he spends the movie discovering why this monstrous effort to ruin him is being made and who are The Strangers???

I heard a lot of the test audiences (that are used to gauge how people will react to the film) actually burst out in laughter at some points during the screening.
I suppose I will see it at some time, but after having read the book, I'm afraid the movie is probably as boringly dull.

How could you not laugh? Forest Gump was the main character!
The last movie I saw was (hehe - was is saw backwards. Small-things-small-minds...) The Break Up.
It was predictable but there were a few funny parts, mostly at the beginning. Towards the end it got very dull and the whole thing didn't actually seem to go anywhere. It was like they were doing this tit for tat while standing still. Supposedly 4 weeks passed while it was happening but it seemed like 3 days.

Pet Semetary * (1989, Directed by Mary Lambert)
The Creeds have just moved to a new house in the countryside. Their house is perfect, except for two things: the semi-trailers that roar past on the narrow road, and the mysterious cemetary in the woods behind the house. The Creed's neighbours are reluctant to talk about the cemetary, and for good reason too. IMDB
Watched this film last night and it was really good !!!.

Was a damn shitty movie. A lot of people were telling me how scary it was. I think disney movies scare these people too.

Full metal jacket. One of the most fucked up war movies I've ever seen, and I've been forced to see a few. It was interesting, but it constantly showed a sickening side of humanity that I'd prefer to avoid.

Last movie I watched was 'Zombie'. It's easily one of my favorites.

Oh dear, and this is supposed to be a literary site. The Marquis de Sade died in his sleep after a brief illness on 2nd December 1814 at the age of 74.

The last movie I watched was "The Cave" on DVD. I found it to be somewhat formulaic, and derivative of the Aliens series. But suppose I can't complain overmuch as I didn't pay to hire it.
Just out of interest - when you're at a video store, and you read the blurb on the back of a prospective title and it makes reference to how said title combines elements of 'movie x' and 'movie y'; do you generally put it back on the shelves and continue looking?
I tend to, as in my opinion the movies which 'inspired' such a title are probably superior to that which is derived from them.

Just watched Ultraviolet...
I thought it was awesome. Great imagery, costume-age, and Milla Zovavich. The director is the same that did "Equilibrium" (another excellent film).

I watched An American Werewolf in London
It was cool... I learned why the werewolves in Underworld were called "Likens," too. It comes from what I'm guessing is old english... Likenfroeb. Mhm. Sounds like old english, anyhow.

Great movie. The best part is the gradual decay of his dead friend who talks to him throughout the movie.

The Bride of Frankenstein (1935, Directed by James Whale)
Dr. Frankenstein and his monster both turn out to be alive, not killed as previously believed. Dr. Frankenstein wants to get out of the evil experiment business, but when a mad scientist, Dr. Pretorius, kidnaps his wife, Dr. Frankenstein agrees to help him create a new creature, a woman, to be the companion of the monster.
This film is my absolute favourite of the `Universal Monster` series, it is so beautifully made.
Excellent !!!.

X-Men: The Last Stand. Not bad, but I liked the first two better.

Yep. Indeed, and the same goes for music which is drescribed as " blah blah blah meets blah blah blah." Just a gimmick to sell you a product based on industry name dropping. Official descriptions with such an analogy can generally, but not always, forecast a mediocre movie.

The last movie I saw was 'V for Vendetta' when I was coming back on the plane from London. It was very moving, I almost cried at the end when V died. Hugo
Weaving is an amazing actor.

What was that movie about anyway, Rose? I was very interested in seeing it.
The last movie I saw was "Syriana" I rented on DVD. It was a very good movie, but the kind that was meant to be watched three or so times. Each scene was less than five minutes in length, and it really made the film seem twice as long as it really was. It also made the film very difficult to comprehend, but I'm definitely compelled to buy it.
