Spirited Away

When a 10-year-old girl moves into a new neighborhood, she finds herself in another world filled with witches and monsters. This won an Oscar for best animated film of the year. It’s anime and for those that know, I hate anime. Yet, I still watched it because it was...

Matrix Revolutions

Hello Mr. Anderson, my machines friends and I have come to invade your little world. Good times! I didn’t see this movie in the theater since I was quite disappointed with the second one. I waited until it came out on Netflix. I’m glad I did....

28 Days Later

  A guy wakes up from a coma to find everyone has turned into zombies. Nuts! It’s from the director of Trainspotting, but you can actually understand what the people are saying in this movie. Their accents aren’t so thick. It was filmed in digital film so it looks...

Transporter

A courier decides to check out what he is delivering. That’s a definite no-no. The movie is written by Luc Besson, who also wrote La Femme Nikita and The Professional. It stars the bald buy from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. If you like those movies,...

About Schmidt

From the director of Election comes this movie about Jack Nicholson finally playing someone his own age. His wife dies and he realizes how little he has done with his life. This isn’t your typical Jack Nicholson movie, which is what disappointed my dad. He thought it was going...

Die Another Day

James Bond running around with Halle Berry. I haven't watched the last couple James Bond movies because even though I think Pierce Brosnan makes a good James Bond, they have bored me. This one was pretty good though and I think it had to do with Halle Berry. Her...

Hollywood Homicide

Harrison Ford is the old cop having to train Josh Hartnett, the new cop, in a ploy to get every woman in America into theaters at once. Hollywood Homicide was another movie on my family’s Worst Movies to Watch on Thanksgiving. For those that don’t know, my family has a...

Identity

An update on Ten Little Indians that takes place in a Bates-like motel with ten strangers, one of them being John Cusack. It was a pretty enjoyable breezy type movie. I was told I couldn't guess the ending, but I thought I had the movie figured out from the...
