summer movie list...
i am going to start keeping track of all the movies i watch over my summer vacation. hey, don't be so judgemental. i'll watch almost anything.
i know...this is another blog post that only i will really care about, but i am a sucker for a list. no, i think i am ocd when it comes to lists.
1. CUBE - a claustrophobic classic. i still can't believe that i haven't seen this movie before now, but the more ryan wanted me to see it, the more i wanted to tease him about how geeky it was. just kidding, ryan. it was a really cool movie with enough geek and cheese to keep me interested.
2. HORNS AND HALOS - you know you like george w bashing movies
3. RAVENOUS - gave me nightmares. cannibalism at it's best.
4. HOTEL RWANDA - gave me nightmares. this movie was amazing, but i can never watch it again because i was grinding my teeth the entire time. be armed with kleenex and bite guards.
5. EULOGY - funny and sleepy at the same time
6. HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY - stupendous and stupifying. i loved this movie! but i already told you about it. so go see it!
7. DARKNESS - you'll be disappointed if you wanted a horror movie. still good, but come on...with such a creepy and disturbing back story, you could have showed a little more action.
8. ENDURING LOVE - good, but the book was much better. great acting in this philosophic thriller. (philosophic, you say? you'll see what i mean)
9. STEPFORD WIVES - it gave me a migrane, and then i fell asleep. but i still like frank oz
10. THROW MOMMA FROM THE TRAIN - i haven't seen this movie since i was a kid, and i must say, i am still confused as to whether that was actually a children's movie or not. my dad seemed to think so.
11. NATIONAL TREASURE - it could have been so much worse, but so much better. the story was really neat, but they could have expanded a lot more. beware, there are some really bad accents and the lead characters are poorly developed.
12. THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU - i love this movie. i even loved it more the second time i watched it. everything is so perfect and complete that you really feel that you are entering a whole other universe. the humour is more passive than active, but its constant. if you are buying the dvd, pay the extra $2 for the criterion collection, because the supplimental footage is awesome.
13. TIBET: CRY OF THE SNOW LION - i highly recommend this thoughrough documentary. a total overview of their cultural and political history.
14. THE FINAL CUT - this movie had a good idea that they didn't even use. it's rare that a movie has great philosophical and ethical potential and it is sad to see it go to waste because the filmmaker is only trying to shock you. there is nothing wrong with some disturbing images or ideas in a movie, that's not what i am trying to say. i just don't like when people are edgy just for the sake of being edgy.
15. RAGING BULL - scorsese at his scorsesiest. and its okay to hate robert de niro in this movie because with that perm and those wierd eyebrows, he looks nothing like himself. joe pesci is really brilliant and the whole thing is just totally intense, but man i still hate boxing.
16. DUMMY - good movie. cheesy. really funny at some parts, but the music is really bad...and by bad, i am not trying to be mean...it's just that kind of music that makes you feel really akward and alienated and it didn't suit the movie at all.
17. STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH - exactly what you were expecting this movie to be, but take away some of the wookiees because there really weren't that many and add a really amazing opening scene (not that you weren't expecting one of those anyway).
18. STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH - i had to. i was leaving to go bus the lunch shift when lou called to cancel me (it's really not patio weather yet) and star wars just seemed like the perfect way to celebrate.
19. STAR WARS: ATTACK OF THE CLONES - i actually like this movie more now that i have seen episode three.
20. TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLIICE - this movie was visually incedible and hilarious, not to mention more offensive than you expected it to be. have you ever seen puppets do such things??
21. KINSEY - surprisingly boring and drawn out, but i enjoyed it. qui-gon jinn cries a lot in this movie.
22. STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE
23. STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
24. STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI
25. BOOGEYMAN - need i say more?
(I'M LOSING TRACK SO I AM GOING TO LIST THEM AND COMMENT LATER)
26. I HEART HUCKABEES
27. HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN
28. POTLUCK
29. A DIRTY SHAME
30. WAR OF THE WORLDS
31. GOOD FENCES
32. WHY DOGS SMILE AND CHIMPANZEES CRY
33. MANUFACTURING CONSENT
34. THE CORPORATION
35. HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITECASTLE
36. THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE
37. DOWNFALL
38. DUDE, WHERE'S THE PARTY?
39. HAM AND CHEESE
40. ALEXANDER
41. THE RING 2
42. THE ARISTOCRATS
43. SIN CITY
44. LUCKY 13

I love your summer movie list. And if there is one thing I'm not judgmental about it's: movie watching.
Enduring Love is playing Thursday night here in Nelson, I was thinking of going. Do you think it would be worth it?
I think that its an interesting story and the movie was very well made.
It was clean looking, the acting was good, but there is a slight bore factor. It's more psychological than an action thriller, but I think it would be much better in theatre than on video.
I think it would be worth it, but I am just covering my tracks incase you hate it ha ha
