Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (9.5/10)

At first I didn't want to see this movie when I heard about it. I wanted to kill time at the mall today so I decided to see it since nothing else that was playing seemed remotely interesting. I am so glad I made that decision, lol. This is probably the 2nd best movie I've seen for movies that came out in 2007. The humor and the pit falls of fame were all there and I loved every bit of it, except for the small penis thing. I didn't really need to see that, lol! Other than that, this movie was golden.

 

Resident Evil: Extinction 7/10

Not much to say about it. Twas' a decent time-killer that's all.

 

One Hour Photo (2002)
Lenny (1974)

 

Shaun Of The Dead (for the 30th Time) 10/10

what can i say Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are awesome

 

As long as I'm not misremembering the original book, I'm more than sure the original book was almost nothing like the original film. That's why Tim Burton wanted to remake the movie, because he made it much more accurate to the book, as far as I can recall.

 

You're correct.

 

Live Free Or Die Hard

Had some pretty awesome action moments in it as well as some good humor. I loved it.

 

A Scanner Darkly - 2/10

I had high expectations for this, seeing as a lot of people liked it and even my film studies teacher raved about it, but it was awful in my opinion. The synopsis makes it sound as though the film should be good, and I recon it had the potential to be, but in practice, it made no real sense, and I didn't really care in the end. Crap

 

Dogma (1999)

 

Actually I agree with her. It was crap.

 

It's a wierd movie and I have troubles understanding it at times, too. I don't blame you.

 

Interview With The Vampire (10/10)

I have always wanted to see this movie but never have until now. I absolutely loved it.

 

In the Bedroom (2001)

 

Great movie.

The Departed

4/10

Director: Martin Scorsese

A major disappointment. From the hype to the screen it failed to deliver the masterpiece it seemed to be. The overall movie was a very complex one to understand with many twists and turns throughout to have you twisted and turned for years. The plot was a good concept but failed to keep the attention of the audience and lacked substance. Poor performance from Damon especially, he should stick to being Jason instead.
Despite all of the downs throughout the movie, it was still mildly entertaining but not a movie i would willingly watch again.

 

The films of which The Departed was derived from was much better.

 

Million Dollar Baby (2004)

 

Sweeney Todd 9.5/10

The only thing that even made it off was maybe the fact that I feel that Bonham Carter wasn't given enough voice lessons, as Depp's voice overpowered any harmony they did in any song. Otherwise, the only Tim Burton movie I've ever walked out at the end thinking "holy shit, that was dark."

Usually Tim Burton's movies are dark, but not morbid. Just macabre and out of the ordinary in regards to movie styling. This movie actually made everyone in the theatre quiet for about a minute or so.

The music was beautiful (it's a Sondheim musical, so of course it is), and Johnny Depp has a wonderful voice. Helena Bonham Carter made me cry inside, she was just so desperate.

SPOILERS AHEAD.

> The scene where Sweeney realizes he murdered his wife Lucy is just so heartbreaking, and then whenever Toby killed him...the scene of them bleeding together in the basement just made me so sad. Johanna never really got to know either of her parents, and they both died that very night. God. Heartbreaking. <
