The Town, Master and Commander: Far Side of the World, Clerks, South Park Bigger Longer Uncut.

The Town 1-6
This was a pretty good movie. The plot was good, and the acting wasn't bad, but, the Boston accent was really distracing/fake and a few of the actors. It's not the best bank robber movie by any stretch. I wouldn't buy it, but I was happy with my rental.

Master and Commander: Far Side of the World 1-7
This was excellent. The battle scene was well made, the actor was all good a believeable, and the the story was good. I'm sure I might have liked it better if I read the book, but oh well.

Clerks 1-8
I enjoyed Clerks. I only saw this once before, but I don't remember a lot of it, so it was basically a first viewing. The whole "shit just gets worse and worse" was great and relatable. I also liked that they used B&W. I couldn't ever see myself buying this for more than a bargin, but it a huge mistake not to see it.

South Park Bigger Longer Uncut 1-9
A lot of people are hardcore South Park fans, but I am not. A lot of their work makes me think what retard likes shit, but other times thier prouduce some of the most brilliant work ever. This falls into the latter. Tons of laughs. Such a great movie when you haven't seen it in a few years. Worth every second of viewing.

28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later

28 Days Later 1-4
This movie is fantastic. The end leaves room for debate, but it's one of the greatest zombie movies ever made. The look, the feel, the soundtrack. Everything about it is awesome. Worth every penny (although, I didn't spend one on it, I got it from my Secret Santa one year :P). Buy it.

28 Weeks Later 1-5
I've always said that Days is so good that it not Weeks' fault it isn't as good. But this veiwing made me slightly change that thought. I think they are about equal now. Again, it's worth a buy.

King Kong (2005), Gran Torrino, and The Lord of the Rings (1978).

King Kong (2005) 1-1
I don't really know why I didn't like this as much before, but it stuck with me this time. The action scenes were really good (except the car one, it's wasn't as good), and visually it looked great. The only thing was it's length. It was as long as it needed to be, but nearing the end I kept wishing it would finish up. I'd say it's worth the rent, only because I've owned it since release and only watched it twice now.

Gran Torrino 1-2
Mixed feelings on this one, mostly because of the bad acting/writing. Clint Eastwood's performance in the first half/two thirds really saved this movie. There were many parts/lines where I cringed or laughed at how bad it was. It felt like a highschool film project. But Clint's first half performace was well worth the movie. It was worth the viewing. Rental.

The Lord of the Rings (1978) 1-3
In honor of J.R.R. Tolkein's birthday, I chose this one. This is a bizzae movie to say the least. Awkward/laughable voice acting, weird switching between live actors and animation characters (they actualy switch before your eyes at a few points), and a weird look. It's so bad it's not that bad, if your a LotR fan that is. Otherwise, it's garbage. It's worth a viewing, but I wouldn't spend much on it. I recomend borrowing it.

Calendar and list of movies.




These are the movies I'll be watching. Please don't suggest them again :P If you have a VHS or DVD copy you'd lend/trade/sell, and I haven't yet watched it yet (see calendar or posts) I'd be interested in it.

[B Indicates I've already watched it or I already own/will own it. I indicates I've recorded/borrowed it and would still be interested in it]
