more movie mania
As I've mentioned before, I've been attempting to catch up on my movie viewing since I got three months of free HBO, Cinemax, & Showtime for signing up with Dish Network. Sadly, that three months has come to an end & I am back to just regular television. :-( I think I'm going thru withdrawal. Even tho Dish provides way more channels than my old cable, I still got really used to having those movies available 24hrs a day.But, alas, here is my list of The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly. Or maybe I should say, The Ones I Really Liked, The Ones That Were Just Okay, & The Ones I Thought Sucked. Really bad.
The Good (a.k.a. The Ones I Really Liked):
Shaun of the Dead
Taxi
Hidalgo (I didn't expect to like this one at all; I almost didn't even watch it. But I do like Viggo Mortensen, so I thought I'd give it a try. So glad I did! I loved it! Who knew a movie about a man, a horse, a big ol' desert could be so interesting? :-))
Written in Blood
Jersey Girl
Mona Lisa Smile
The Bad (a.k.a. The Ones That Were Just Okay):
The Punisher
Love Actually (A little scattered, but kinda good--actually :-))
Anchorman: Legend of Ron Burgundy (I love Will Farrell, but this one did nothing for me, it was just stupid.)
Starsky & Hutch
Daredevil
Elektra
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (This one had Oded Fehr in it. Need I say anything more? I watched it more than once just for that, even tho the actual story didn't do much for me.)
I Heart Huckabees (Okay, I heard was awful, but I actually really liked it. Probably because the main character reminded me a little too much--frighteningly--of myself. :-p)
Stepford Wives (Eh. It did have one very funny line in it, tho: “This book teaches us how to celebrate the birth of our Savior with yarn." LOL)
Valentine (Good suspense. I figured out the ending, but it was still good & creepy.)
The Girl Next Door
White Noise
Monkeybone
Orgazmo
Collateral
Phone Booth
Spider-Man 2
Cheaper by the Dozen
Saved!
Bubble Boy
Mad City
The Ugly (a.k.a. Ones I Thought Sucked. Really bad.):
Spanglish (I thought this one was going to be really good. I'd actually been wanting to see it for quite a while. But it was just awful; stupid, nonsensical, & not even funny.)
Endless Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
A Mighty Wind
The Big Bounce (I love Owen Wilson, but this one was just stupid.)
Intolerable Cruelty (Again, I love George Clooney, & this one at least had a couple of cute lines in it, but woof.)
In Good Company
Laws of Attraction
Closer (Boy, did this one bite the big one. What was Julia Roberts thinking?)
Envy
A Home at the End of the World
More to come...oooh, aren't you excited now? LOL...since I still have about 30 movies taped & waiting to be watched.
