I bought tickets to the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, this Friday night. Nate, Nate, McKay and I are having a “guys night out” and are going to spend it watching what is hopefully as action-packed and exciting as it’s predecessor, Casino Royale. For me, Casino Royale set the bar for Bond movies [...]

You know, I never realized that I had never seen Star Wars Episode III. I started watching it a few minutes ago and thought to myself, “Self, this is stuff I don’t recognize. Could it really be?”
Sure enough, it is.

I watched Blood Diamond tonight. My, oh my. This movie is rough and brutal and raw in all ways, but it’s really well made and tells its story so well. I have heard that there are many problems faced by those in Africa but haven’t done any sort of research into it. This movie opens [...]

It’s been about 15 years since the I last saw Dances with Wolves. Tonight, I (mostly) paid attention to it while reading the news, and really enjoyed it. I’d forgotten how good it is. Kevin Costner does a good job in all aspects of this movie, though I could have done without [...]

Melanie and I watched Deja Vu tonight. It’s a really great story and a terrific performance by Denzel Washington. I’d seen it before but this time I enjoyed it even more.

I watched The Italian Job tonight, well past my bedtime. It was quite entertaining. I really had no clue what was going to happen and was just enjoying being taken along for the ride. I can’t think of any of the characters I didn’t like. Well, I mean, anybody except those I wasn’t supposed to [...]

I watched Twister tonight. As far as special effects go, it’s still a decent movie. As far as plot goes, it’s somewhat fun, presuming that you let your brain check out during some parts.
The good things:
The special effects. The dark clouds and stormy skies looked pretty cool.
The character of Melissa Reeves, the [...]

I watched The Pelican Brief tonight. I had forgotten how good it is. The scene at the Riverwalk is really very suspenseful.
I’ve always really liked John Grisham’s books, so I guess it’s fitting that I’d like the movie versions of them. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll watch The Rainmaker, The Chamber, The Runaway Jury [...]

I watched The Wedding Singer tonight. I hadn’t seen it in a while so I thought it would be fun. Sure enough, I found myself smiling. Favorite parts:
When Robbie is singing at the wedding party after his breakup and he’s singing “Love Stinks”
When Robbie tells Linda to take off his Van Halen [...]

I’m sitting here watching Ghostbusters for the first time in over 15 years. I’d forgotten how funny this movie is. Funny lines include:
Why worry? Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.
Job interview question: “Do you believe in UFO’s, astroprojections, mental telepathy, ESP, clairvoyance, spirit photography, [...]
