Miscellaneous Movie Musings - Page 225

I am house-sitting with a big-screen plasma. So I'm just viewing widescreen faves of the past.

Fellowship of the Ring was last night. This weekend will include such widescreen geek fare as Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Wrath of Khan.

Really liked Bourne. Mindless action + hot guy = good movie.

The ending after he remembered really bothered me. I didn't need to see

Spoiler:

Loved the ending in the water and Nicki smirking when she heard the news.

Easily wrapped up or left open. Though I hope this is the end.

Just found Stardust to be pretty enjoyable. Not head over heels or anything but pleasant throughout.

My son has been trying to convince me all day to take him to Stardust. Today was far to busy for a movie though, maybe later in the weekend.

Undertaking Betty came to me via Netflix. Wacky undertaking fun with Brenda Blethyn, Alfred Molina, Naomi Watts and Christopher Walkin. Silly and fun, loved it.

I will not apologize for my Jackie Chan fetish and I have no doubt that I will be seeing every movie in the earliest form I can get my hands on until the day one of us is dead.

That said, I also know that most of the suck pretty hard (especially the American ones). Rush Hour 3 is really very much in the hard suckage category. Among its many problems is the fact that they are unable to hide the fact that Chan is 53 years old and just can't do it any more.

He is still agile and good with the acrobatics but when the better fight choreography goes to Chris Tucker then there is really a problem.

Add to that the fact that they apparently just said "let's reshoot the first Rush Hour but in Paris this time" and it really is a waste of time. Unless you have to see everything with Chan, just go watch the first one again.

I liked The Simpson's Movie. Had me laughing the whole way through.
