Days of Thunder — I have a hard time believing that I’ve never seen this movie before. But looking at my last 30 reviews, I could say that a lot. This felt like a serious version of Talledega Nights. It even starred one of the same actors. The story was good, and the action scenes were great. I really love Robert Duvall. This movie wouldn’t have been half the movie it was without Bob. Oh, and Cole Trickle. Hehe. Gotta believe Will Ferrell would’ve used that name had it not already been taken.
Finding Neverland — Phase one in the chick-flick category. I think I liked it better than Tonia coincidentally. I really liked the way they took an old story and put a fresh spin on it. And the deeper story was awesome as well. The whole infidelity angle was a little depressing, but otherwise I really liked this movie. Johnny Depp has a great collection of films don’t you think?
Must Love Dogs — Phase two in the chick-flick category. Neither one of us liked this one very much. I threw it in the rotation for the simple fact that it starred John Cusack. While I enjoyed the scenes he was in for the most part, the whole movie was cheesy—even for chick-flick standards. Makes me weary of checking out Serendipity. For the record You’ve Got Mail is far superior to this similar plot-line.
Dogma — Yeah. Uh… Not my cup of tea. Sure there were some funny one-liners, and great religion jokes. I just didn’t appreciate the movie as a whole. Not much more I can say here, except that I really really didn’t like Alanis Morrisette. She should really just stick to female angst and covering other peoples songs. Seriously.
Antitrust — Never heard of this one before Jason brought it in and told me to watch it. It was alright. It was focused on technology, so that’s what really held my interest. It sort of got me pumped about being a Geek 2.0. Not a fan of Tim Robbins in this one however. The one thing that struck me about this movie is how it dates itself immediately. It makes a big deal about certain technologies that will eventually be outdated in real life, making it a silly premise. I wonder if they considered that before making it.
