Some more movies I saw

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Scrooged: Good movie. Funny. Cross: A thing you nail people to.
"But it's Christmas Eve!"
"They're like this every day of the year. I gaurantee it."
Too many to list. . .
As if anyone HASN'T seen this one though and need this review.

National Lampoon's Christman Vacation: Good movie. Funny. "Shitter's full"

Mean Girls: Tina Fay lifts her shirt and you see her bra, so you should watch it. It's also a good story and told well. Ending is a bit hurried, but forgivable.

25th Hour: Not bad. It's a 'Spike Lee Joint' though. But, it's also produced by 'Fourty Acres and A Mule', which I thought was funny. Interesting angle on the whole 'sold drugs and going to jail for it' type thing. I was tired, but stayed awake to watch the whole thing. So, it was interesting. Worth watching some time.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: I loath Jim Carrey. Not as a person. Don't know him well enough to go there. But, I'm soooooo tired of seeing him in movies. Groaned when I saw that the wife picked this one out. Watched it anyway so I could do a somewhat witty review of it. Turned out to be pretty good. At no point did Jim C. go into one of his signature blurt things of idiocy. Got reeeeeallllly close at one point. But, cut it off. I was glad. Had no clue what it was suppose to be about, and was caught up in what it ended up being about. Wacky plot that was good to watch present itself. Gosh that's deep or something. Don't want to tell you what it was about, so I have to be vague like that. Worth watching though. Even if you hate Jim C. He's tollerable in this. Kind of like Kenu Reeves as Neo. Kenu R. is a really bad actor and stuff. You sometimes ask yourself "What is he doing?" The only real answer is "The best he can." But, I digress. You should put this movie on your list of movies to watch.

The Others: Surprisingly creepy but ends in a comfortable way so as you don't have nightmares from it. I'd watch it again sometime. So, I think it's worth watching at least once.

The Blues Bothers: I actually haven't seen this whole movie. Saw part of it on Thanksgiving, so put it on the list of rentals. Rented it. It skipped really bad during the church dance scene. So, I STILL haven't seen the whole damn movie. Looked good enough to keep trying though. But you probably already knew that.

That's all for now.

Make a new thread for each movie, dammit. Makes it easier to seach for in the future.

40 Acres + Mule is Spike Lee's production company, so all his movies are produced by them.

Saw The Village this week. Overall, thought the concept was itneresting, but it wasn't enough of an idea to last 1.5 hours.

Good as a whole, though - 7/10, maybe a little lower.

Scrooged: The most underrated holiday film of all time.

The line I steal from Scrooged all the time is, "Have you tried staples?"

I haven't seen The Others. I figured it out from the movie trailer, before it was even released. Now I have no desire to see it. I actually have the DVD somewhere.
