« approaching harborview | Main | okay dad, i'll keep writing movie reviews... »

what i think of every movie playing in seattle right now

  • after the sunset - total schlock
  • alexander - no way...not even as camp
  • alfie - no, but i can appreciate jude law
  • bridget jones sequel - no way
  • callas forever - maybe too art house
  • christmas with the kranks - never
  • closer - no way..and not just cause julie roberts is in it
  • eruption of mt st helens imax - saw it...old school, kinda boring, but good
  • finding neverland - never would have thought of it, but it won some award just now so I'm a little curious
  • garden state - saw it...kinda like a slick movie version of college radio, like REM or something. actually good though.
  • i heart huccabees - saw it, pretty darn good for what it was
  • into the deep IMAX 3d - saw it...liked it! freaky huge starfish!
  • kinsey - I'd probably see it
  • motorcycle diaries - sure, I'd see it
  • napolean dynamite - saw it, liked it..mostly just for enternainment...the is definately the kind of movie I like as entertainment...dorky, funny in a smart way, tries to do something new
  • national treasure - no way
  • overnight - twould be a guilty pleasure
  • polar express - god no..creepy pablum
  • ray - saw it...pretty hollywoody, but good enough to keep me entertained and teach me about the context of ray charles music so I liked it
  • sex is comedy - nah, probly not
  • shall we dance - no on the whole richard gere thing...he's doubly creepy cause he's tibetan buddhist. plus I think this was a remake of a japanese movie that's supposed to be way better
  • shaun of the dead - saw it...it had it's lame moments aplenty, but genuinely and seriously funny on the whole
  • sky captain and the world of tomorrow - saw it, good just for the technical feat it is (mostly digital sets and props, but live actors)
  • spongebob - probly wouldn't see it unless a friend really wanted to see it with me
  • team america - saw it, was disappointed...was expecting south park movie level brilliance, definatley wasn't here
  • the incredibles: - seen it, liked it..good as entertainment, and even as cinema on some level
  • What the #$*! Do We Know!? - too ramtha
Sorry I didn't make all the movies links to Rotten Tomatoes or the Internet Movie Database or something. It was enough trouble just to format it. Just go to those sites and cut and paste them into the search window for me. Thanks.

Kinsey is remrkable. Garden State was funky with good acting. The guy playing the coll friend of the lead, also plays a student than associate of Kinsey..and is a future star at least of charactor roles. I was surpised to see the actress who played the female lead in this small movie...incidentally writted and starring a relatively unknown...impressive. She's also in Closer (didn't see.) She playedthe princess in the Star Wars ist prequal.

I want to own Ray. It's preview is in my all time top 5 formoving me...I wanted to stand and cheer...goosebumps. I'm looking forward to Spacey's bio of Bobby Daren who iremember well throughout his carreer and life. That's all isaw on your list.
Love, Dad Getting into this, huh?

Alexander... not even as camp?! Oh, but it's the contender to Mommie Dearest's sequined throne! It is delicious! If you don't have to pay to see it, it's a nice way to spend 3 hours. Just don't see it with a full bladder.

You need to post more often. Do I have to go over there and make you do exciting things?
