Movies You've Gone to the Theater to See Recently

sanguine_dreams · 2007-07-06T04:25:10Z

I have seen a bunch of movies recently. I like the whole experience of going to the theater and interacting with people (laughter, "ooh ahh", etc.) but still having a certain amount of space. Some of these were in the dollar theater, which would be why I saw them so late, if you were wondering. Movie[s]s[/s] I Saw This Month Already: Hot Fuzz -I saw this movie for one reason and one reason only. The trailer said it was "from the same people who brought you Shaun of the Dead ". Hot Fuzz isn't as good as that particular gem, but it's still pretty hilarious. I'd take it over Reno 911 any day. Movies I Saw Last Month, but Since it's Only the 5th of this Month I'm Totally Including Them 1408 -Loved it. So many horror/thriller movies are cheeseariffic, but 1408 works with a viewer's doubt and totally dispels them. The ending was a bit empty, but only because I was expecting the kind of ending most modern movies of the genre leave you with. This is actually a kinda genius movie. 300 -Pretty okay, but did they REALLY have to go to slow-mo for every single death? A little overkill! (Ha, ha! Ha! Ha? Laugh with me!) Bridge to Terabithia -A sorta okay Disney adaptation of a damn good book. Die Hard 4 -Minimal CGI, maximum action. LOVE the butt-kicking Asian chick, love the computer geek(s), LOVE the sense of humor the movie has about itself. Evan Almighty -I'm not a huge Steve Carell fan, but I loved Bruce Almighty , and I love love LOVE Morgan Freeman. Everybody in the movie had a role where they pretty much did what they do best - Wanda Sykes was something like a witty sidekick, that chick off Gilmore Girls was having her heart slowly broken (Alright, now cue the tears... Perfect!), and so on. I still strongly prefer Bruce Almighty , but that was to be expected. Grindhouse -Best. Movie. Ever. I MUST own this! Knocked Up -Funny, but I still felt unmoved. Katherine Heigl's boobs looked extra fake. Well, I thought it was worth noting. Pirates of the Carribean 3 -I have a few issues with it. I guess it's an okay film overall. Shrek the Third -Way better than Shrek 2, not as good as the original.

Alien vs. Predator: Requiem is quite good! Solid story, acting, script, visuals...not the *best* movie in the world, but definitely my favorite right now ^^

Got YWS? I do.

I saw I am legend a few weeks ago. Overrated. I liked it up until the end. The first twist was done wrong, and the second was pointless. But other wise good.

The last movie I saw in the theater was "I Am Legend". It was dark and pretty depressing but still incredibly good!

Hmm...what else?

"Pirates 3"--It was OK. Better than the second "Pirates" movie, but still not as good as the first.

"Ratatouille"--Cute! I thought it'd be dumb, but I really enjoyed it.

Well, I've seen "Cloverfield" (Good but there was no payoff in the end), "Meet the Spartans" (laughed the entire movie. I'm definetly going to buy this.), "Rambo" (Good, but Rambo wasn't the same...something was missing), and "The Eye" (Quite boring really)

Cloverfield. Very good film, thoroughly enjoyed it, though it ended in typical JJ Abrams style! Looking forward to the sequel.

There's always been a lot of tension between Lois and me, and it's not so much that I want to kill her, it's just, I want her to not be alive anymore.

Last Five Movies I Saw in Theaters in No Particular Order

1. Atonement
2. P.S. I Love You
3. Juno
4. Sweeney Todd
5. National Treasure 2

They were all worth my money, especially Juno, if I had paid for them, which I didn't, 'cause friends and aunts are awesome.
