Stranger Than Fiction: 8, maybe 9. A chick flick thats not a chick flick. I even got a tad emotional over it. Will Ferrel broke his mold much like Jim Carey did with some of his more recent movies, and did a damn good job of it. The premise is a lil out of whack, but you just have to roll with it. Final word, bought.
9 1/2 weeks: very good movie, excellent for nursing a hangover. think im about to go through rourke's back catalog. pope of greenwich village is next.
Artificial Intelligence
First time I seen it, but heard quite some negative reviews about it. I don't quite get that after watching it. At the very least, the premise is better than that of I, Robot. Imagine, human life carrying on when the human race became extinct.
That kid is a tear inducing agent.
The reason it was critisized is that it was Stanley Kubricks project but he died while they were making it. Spielberg took over and tried to make it 'too ET like'. The talking bear wasnt in the movie until Kubrick died. He wanted to make it a dark movie looking into the future, but Spielberg 'kiddied' it up too much, to appeal to a wider audience.Quote:

Yeah, what a weird choice to have Spielberg take over the project. He's seriously the exact opposite of Kubrick. In every way.
Kubrick - stark, subtle, fearless. Stayed at the top of his game until right before the end. Watching one of his movies is like having your ass beat by a 25-year-old Muhammad Ali.
Spielberg - weasely, goofy, sentimental. Started to suck right around the time of Jaws and has sucked worse with every cloying, tear-jerking kiddie movie since. Watching one of his movies is like having $10 stolen from you by a precocious child.
Yeah but he made you enjoy your beating and come back for more.Quote:

On a completely unrelated note, Kill Zone is one of the better pieces of Hong Kong action cinema I've seen in awhile. You want some guns and chopsocky and a plot that is vaguely sensible and doesn't have a happy-joy ending? This is a flick for you. Sammo Hung rocks as a bad guy. It's not great, but it's a lot better than most.
Most of Donnie Yen's fighting is solid.
