Love in the Time of Money (2002)
trying to get from point A to point B
the more i think about it, there was nothing redeeming about this
movie. i saw it 9 months ago, so my memory might have made it
worse than it was, but i do know it was at least as bad as a 4 out of
10.
after seeing the movie, i met the director. he seemed so clueless
as to what he was doing or what he had done, and as far as i
could tell, he didn't care for the film either. even he agreed that he
didn't really know what he was doing, and he was forced to do
certain things because it was filmed digitally.
i felt that the movie was trying to hard to fit in to the formula that it
built for itself: "9 people all have to be connected in some way. how
can we get from point 'A' to point 'B'" so in order get from the
prostitute we see in the start and back to her at the end they 10
minutes on each character's relationship to another person. it
makes one feel choked by the 2 demensional, badly drawn
characters.
I just remembered the one redeeming part of the movie... Steve
Bouchemi there is one scene where he is amazing. that's it. as i
say... 4 out of 10.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
it all depends on what you were expecting
ok, so we all love T2, and the original was ok, but I think there is something to be said for the new installment of the terminator series.
I'm going to start off by saying that I Hate CG, but the makers of T3 used it very well in most scenes, some times i even wondered if i was watching something real, or a cartoon, and other times it was obvious, but that's not the point. it's still 12 times better than a certain star wars that will remain nameless.
the only thing i'm wondering about is why they couldn't get Edward Furlong to play the older John Conner. Nick Stahl (who inherited the role) does a close to awful job as the main character, next to Claire Daines, who actually does pretty well with the part she's given. Arnold returns as the Title role; he's been doing the part for so long that i think he's finally got it down.
like 7 out of 9 movies playing at the theatre right now, T3 is a sequel or a remake. one of the big problems with making a sequel or a remake is that the film makers feel as though they must pay homage to the orginals, with things that turn out no better that a pun. i feel that the movie was a little caught up in it's sequel-ness; with lines like "she'll be back." and other scenes that were remeniscent of the first 2.
I give it a C- maybe a C. for an action movie, it was ok. for a sequel it was good. acting was pretty bad, but i can over look that. to come up with the final grade.
Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
For a cartoon, not that bad. for a star wars movie...
Does George Lucas really think that CG looks real? for most of the movie it looks like Ice Age, or Shrek (which are great movies), but i think George wanted the audience to believe that what we were watching is real. if that's true, this was a failed experiment in CG. unless Lucas comes out and says that Ewan McGregor was really CG, i will continue to refuse that CG looks real. oh yeah, the dialog was trite, the story was awful, and Hayden Needs to stop whining if we're expected to believe that he's going to become the badest mother F#cker in the galaxy.
Wirey Spindell (1999)
anyone who argues with this movie being distasteful has missed the point.
Though several scenes of Wirey Spindell can be described as "over the top". I thought that it was refreshing to see something that was willing to go to a level of near-taboo twisted comedy.
Wirey Spindell is a great film with great dialog. I wouldn't say that this film is for everyone, but the film is on my top 10 list.
If you can look beyond it's occasional offensiveness and watch it for the film that it is, I would hope you could see it in the same light that I do.
