Garden State (2004)
Almost Unbelievable!!!
The Night I saw this was one of the most bitter sweet of my life. Two friends and myself decided to head out to the movies to see "Open Water" and "Garden State." After sitting through one of the most painful cinematic experiences of my life (Open Water) my night felt a little ruined. Up next was Garden State, which I still held high hopes for. And I must say, my night was brought back on track after the first frame of this film. I have been a fan of Zach Braff since season 1 of Scrubs started. His character was always extremly interesting and well-acted. The idea of him directing and acting in his own film seemed like too good of a deal to pass up. While his character is in some ways like J.D. on Scrubs, it was excellent to see him in a role that is not constrained to the limits on television. Alas, he is by no means the only reason to see this film. In my opinion, this is Natalie Portman's shining moment, and it is here that one can finally realize, despite what the Star Wars films may lead you to believe, she is a spectacular actress. Ian Holm, although in a short role, is as equally brilliant, and just a little heartbreaking as well. The story is superb. The mixture of heartbreaking drama, and touches of black humor throughout, is enough to make you want to laugh and cry at the same time. If you put together a cast of infinitely talented actors, a wonderful story, great dialogue, and throw in a stellar soundtrack, you have "Garden State", truly one of the most enjoyable movie going experiences of my life.
Dave Matthews Band: Some Other Stuff (2002)
Good Stuff
This is only a teaser of the full concert "Live at Folsom Field" but the live versions of these two fairly new songs, "Bartender" and "When The World Ends" only leave the viewer wanting more Dave. Any fan should check out "Folsom Field" for it is a great concert, mixing the very old material with the very new stuff.
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)
Just don't take it seriously
First of all, I can fully understand why someone would despise this movie in every shape and form. I enjoyed this movie only because after the first scene I reasoned with myself and agreed that I shouldn't take anything about this movie seriously. If you do that I think you may enjoy the movie as well. I really liked the first film, and this movie just builds on every aspect of it. The stunts really do look pretty cool (even though I hated the motor bike scene, that took it to far)I didn't understand why Bruce Willis had to be in it, but OK. I loved Demi Moore's character, even though it would have been better to find out more about her. Drew Barrymore's character is the only one that the movie bothers to really develop. If you don't like movies that are potentially ONLY made for "eye-candy" than this is not for you. If you love a deep plot and character development mixed in with your action, than The Hulk is probably the movie for you.
GoldenEye 007 (1997)
still playing it after 3 years
definitely the best game for N64 ever. I most say i was farely disappointed with tomorrow never dies, but the world is not enough promises to be better then goldeneye (according to the website).I love goldeneye so much i find something to do every time I play it. I have even made up my own missions for the levels. Multi player is the best of any game out there, and the graphics are astounding even now. The first day I got this I remember wishing that they would go back, and make all of the bond movies into games. Can you imagine driving that speed boat in live and let die and making those incredible jumps, or fighting off ninjas or fighting jaws in the spy who loved me and moonraker. (i think fighting him in those games would be more fun then in the aztec) what about chasing Sanchez in the gas trucks or scalling St. Cerils in for your eyes only. oh well let me get back to the game at hand. All of the levels are unique and make for very fun killing environments. there are many places to hide so you can sneek up on people (especially statue park) well this game is not worthy of renting you really need to buy it today.
Whose Line Is It Anyway? (1998)
I am so glad none said they didnt like this show in the reviews
How many shows on television right now actually make you roll on the floor and die laughing. Tom Green did at first but his mouse licking monkey kissing has gotten a little old. Whose Line is it Anyways will NEVER cease to amaze you!!! They're couldnt be a better cast e.g. Wayne Brady, Colin Mochary, Ryan Stilles, Drew Carrey, and the funniest extras Brad Sherwood and Greg Props. I tape this show every thursday night and have a 15 blank tape collection of it. I always ask myself the same question: Why not take the show on the road??? That would be great. There is not one game that I don't like. The funniest is when they occasionaly do questionable impressions. Guaranteed to make you laugh!!!
