It was a pleasure watching David Tomlinson throw himself into this much-more-fun-than-Mr.-Banks role. I love him! He does a great bunny impersonation too...

I saw: Lucky Number Sleven last night on DVD.
I think this one flew by alot of people in theatres. It's got a great cast, Morgan Freeman, Ben Kingsly, Stanley Tuci, Lucy Lui and the not so great, but was good in this Josh Hartnet. I enjoyed the movie and thought it was a good ride. Well shot and even though the plot is fairly A typical, it was fun getting from one point to the other. It's one of those suprise twist type films where you figure it out pretty early on, but IMHO it was a good time getting to the results. 8 bornieo's out of 10 |
I loved the script. Tarantino might be able to put a Silver Surfer reference into Denzel's mouth in Crimson Tide, but Smilovic's Shmoo monologue as delivered by Morgan Freeman is sublime.

Richard Gere's character in "Breathless" lived by the Silver Surfer.

I too figured out the "twist" pretty much during the opening credits and was bored the rest of the way. Liked Lucy Liu, liked Morgan Freeman despite him being completely in "I'm Morgan Freeman" mode. Hartnett was flat. Ben Kingsley, sadly, was boring. The humor was inane and Bruce Willis was a void (quite literally, when I think back to the movie I literally can't picture Bruce Willis, just a generic person onto whom my brain attaches the label "Bruce Willis"). |
If we might divert briefly to the land of the made-for-teevee movie - who else is going to be glued to the teevee Sunday evening for "The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines"? Surely I'm not the only one?

I saw Kinsey last night. Good film, interesting subject (as discussed on this board a while ago) Acting was great. It was funny to see Frank'n' Furter playing the "stiff." So to speak.

Just came back from "Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny". What a disappointment. Not terrible, but just... eh. Not unlike the Borat movie, I walked out thinking that they've done better and more relevant stuff on the small screen. Oh well.
The real shock of the evening was the trailer for the remake of "The Hitcher". Why oh why must there be a crappy remake of every edgy movie that I hold near and dear? The Wicker Man... The Hitcher... What's next, a Videodrome remake? There's got to be a couple of good new ideas in Hollywood. |
