Full Frontal
From Steven Soderbergh going back to his roots of sex, lies and videotape with this “movie about movies for people who love movies”. Stars Julia Roberts and David Duchovny. Shot on digital film for most of the movie, it ends up being more distracting than being put to good...
24 Hour Party People
Tracks the rise and fall of Factory Records in Manchester, England from the late 70’s until the 90’s. I love bands from Manchester, like New Order, Stone Roses, Charlatans, and Happy Mondays. I wanted to see this movie since I love the city and it was going to talk...
Auto Focus
Biopic of Bob Crane from Hogan’s Heroes starring Greg Kinnear and his mysterious death that still remains unsolved. Greg Kinnear played Bob Crane as very skittish kind of man. I really don’t know anything about Bob Crane so he might have been like that, but it was a tad unnerving to watch....
Bowling For Columbine
Michael Moore directs this documentary about guns and violence in the U.S. It was better and different than what I expected. I thought it was going to be a gung-ho rant against guns and stuff, but it wasn’t. I didn’t know Michael Moore was a member of the NRA....
Spider
David Cronenberg makes a crazy movie. What you say? I know it’s a shocker. This time a schizophrenic played by Ralph Fiennes is released from the hospital, but maybe he isn’t quite ready. Yes, I actually watched a movie with “spider” in the title, but there were no spiders...
I Spy
Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson in the movie version of the old tv show. I see I was super clever in my description of the movie when this came out. This started on cable one day and we decided to watch it. It was more amusing than I thought...
Blade II
Wesley Snipes continues to kill vampires, along with a new threat–reavers. This was viewed after a Friday night of hanging with Marci. We went out drinking and then came back to the house and continued to drink. This movie was very much a blur for me since I was...
White Oleander
Girl’s mother murders her love and gets sent to prison. Girl gets shuffled from foster home to foster home. I didn’t like the book version of White Oleander that much. I heard that tons of changes were made from the book so I had a feeling that I might...
The Hours
Three women in different times are all affected by Virginia Woolf’s works. Starring Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore and the one you don’t recognize in the movie poster is Nicole Kidman. Wow this movie is slow. I kept reading about how hard it was to make this book into a...
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind Director: George Clooney George Clooney directs a script by Charlie Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation). It’s an adaptation of a memoir about the guy who hosted the Gong Show saying he used to be a CIA hitman. Chuck Barris is the guy who hosted...
