Anger Management

Category: 2003,Movies,Reviewsvelveetahead @ 8:54 pm

Adam Sandler is sent to anger management class and Jack Nicholson is his teacher.

I think Jack Nicholson looks like Robert DeNiro in that picture. There's my odd random observation.

Anway, well, I wish Adam Sandler would start making funny movies again. All of this movies have the same theme and they really haven't been as funny as Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. This movie was just uhhhhh.

The only part I really liked was the fat cat clothing line. Actually, they could have just shown the fat cat on the screen for about 20 minutes and that would have been great. I would have laughed and laughed and then moved onto something else.

Instead I got to watch this and be bored hoping that the fat cat would make another appearance. I would have rated this movie much lower without the cat. This movie makes it into the C category because of the cat.

Rating: C-

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Sean Connery leads up the next-in-line comic-to-movie. This one is based on Alan Moore's comic. It takes place in Victorian-era England with Allan Quartermain, Dr. Jekyll, Captain Nemo, Tom Sawyer, the Invisible Man, Mina Harker and Dorian Gray.

This movie received horrible reviews and I was expecting a mess. I actually found it to be a lot of fun. There wasn't as much action as other superhero/comic movies lately but I think that's why I liked it.

I think what they did with Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde is what they should have done with The Hulk. Instead of making him completely animated, only parts of him were so the graphics were great. I hardly believed Sean Connery could do any of the jumping around, running, and shooting that he was doing but it was all quite silly anyway.

I did enjoy the literary characters all thrown together into one movie. I thought that was a cool concept, but wasn't sure how it would be pulled off. I thought it was pretty well done.

I'm not sure if I would ever want to watch the movie over and over again, but while I was watching it, I enjoyed it.

Rating: B-
