A Month Later...

The Brother's Grimm
It breaks my heart to say this about a Terry Gilliam film...
Pure, Unadulterated Crap.

The Cave
blah blah blah world's biggest cave system.
blah blah blah missing scientists.
blah blah blah search team.
Oh, look... a monster.
Quick! -
Swim through the water room,
Climb the rockface in the bottomless-pit room,
Slide through the ice room,
Put up a fight in the apocalyptic-y fire room.
Yeah! Daylight!

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
All I can say is: Rob Schneider must have been hurtin' for some cash.

Transporter 2
Slightly less impressive than the first, but still more fun than most action flicks.

A Sound of Thunder
If the plotholes and bad timetravel logic don't get you, the horrible compositework will.

The Man
I have a real problem with this current crop of movies that function on the premise that it's okay for black people to make fun of whites, but not the other way around. The Man is another one of these films where the only joke is "Ain't this cracker a trip!" I cannot abide.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose
Dear Hollywood,
It's okay to advertise a movie for what it is, rather than what you think will get people into the seats. Emily Rose is more 'Law & Order' than 'The Exorcist'.
I went to a packed showing, and everyone walking out of the theater was talking about, not whether or not they liked the film, but about how the movie wasn't what they were expecting. No one will remember this film. We were told it was a horror movie and we got a courtroom drama.

Cry_Wolf
A teen hack-em-up with a decent reveal. This is one of the few 'cellphone & internet' movies that didn't bug me to death.
I gotta ask, though - am I the only person that, when out in public, sets their cellphone to vibrate so as not to annoy the rest of humanity with my stupid ringtone every time I get a call? I'm glad that bitch's lack of consideration gets her killed.

Lord of War
I'd love to smack whoever cut the trailer for this film. When you use a character-defining line for comedic effect in the trailer... you completely devalue the line. Especially when it is the opening line of the film.
I'd also like to ask what happened to the AIDS scare. What was the point of the character and their subplot if the consequences of said subplot are never realized? Whether or not the lead contracts AIDS as a part of his downfall is not a small thing that people won't notice if you walk away from. They set it up and carry it through to him freaking out, "What have I done? Am I bringing AIDS home to my wife and kid?!?" and then they never mention it again. WTF?
This could have been up there with Three Kings but they cocked it up. I expected more from the guy that wrote Gattica and The Truman Show.
