Insomnia
 

I didn't include it in my initial list of summer want-to-see list but the more I heard about it, the more my interest grew. It also helped that Memento was my favorite movie from last year, so I think Chritopher Nolan has earned a second look from me. Boy am I glad! This movie is actually better than Memento!
The movie isn't so much about solving the murder as it is about Al Pacino's LA Cop trying to escape what turns out to be a lifetime of dubious choices that lead him deeper and deeper into a mess that he just cannot pull himself free of.
Alot of people talk about the scene in Star Wars Episode II when Anikin's mom dies and he gets mad and wipes out all of the Tuskin Raiders. It's a pivotal scene but the aftermath isn't very well written or acted. Hayden Christensen just looks like a punk kid who pouting and fuming for getting grounded for a month. When an pivitoal tragedy occurs on a stakeout early in Insomnia it is truly a wildcard that still has me wondering if it was a mistake or was it intentional. Pacino looks like the weight of the world is on his shoulders and his lack of sleep(6 days by movie end; kinda like the week before the shipping deadline
:p ) isn't helping. Pacino is great in the film but man he looks so bad you think it's make up, like the poor guy never slept a day in his life! Is it really like that in Alaska ( scratch that off of my future vacations list).
It also features the best performance from Robin Williams in a long time(probably since Good Will Hunting). He's creepy and sneaky(though I heard he has an indy film comming out called One Hour Photo where he's outright scary as a stalker photo delveloper) at least he's not trying to force you to LOVE ME! LOVE ME! LOVE ME! by force feeding you endless sugar sweet sappyness(I trying to figure which was a bigger career low point: WHAT DREAMS MAY COME or PATCH ADAMS! Agh! I'm having flashbacks...!)
Everybody does a great job in the movie from Hilary Swank as an eager but smart younger cop to Nicky Katt( Harry Senate on BOSTON PUBLIC) as a more moodier veteran cop.
I can't wait to see it again!:cool:

MATRIX TWO AND THREE!!!!!!!!! GO KEANU REEVES!!!!

keanu is such a crap actor....but the matrix is awesome....

Now I'm just waiting for
Reign of Fire
MIIB
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
The Bourne Identity
One Hour Photo
Austin Powers in Goldmember
both LOTR

Spiderman
 

We have really horrible dirivng laws here, and if your under 18 you can't drive after 11pm. Someone want to share the ending of spiderman with me, so I can tell others? They are very upset with me because we had to leave early and miss the last 20 min or so!

Re: Spiderman
 

be GLAD. The ending sucked. So Spiderman saves the girl, rescues a bunch a kids, kills the goblin, and Harry swears that Spiderman will pay for what he's done. That's where it should have ended. What happens after that is just disappointing.

Oh you just wish the sappy ending would have come true ;)

Undercover Brother and Starship Troopers 2

Starship Troopers 2?! you have to be joking!!!

Since I've already seen Spiderman, Episode 2, and Just got back from The Sum of All Fears.... I'm waiting on....

MIB2
One Hour Photo
The Bourne Identity
K19 The Widowmaker
The Two Towers [of course!]
Matrix 2
X-Men 2 and
Austin Powers....

well thats all I can think of now...


as for all the Star Wars Episodes 7-9... That is never going to happen. That was addressed by George Lucas durring the re-release of 4-6. He said he would do 1-3 but 7-9 was a no. That is where the books [most of which magicaly started to appear at that time] pick-up.

Time to revive this dinosaur!
 

It's 2003!
The end of robot season and the summer movie season comming up fast.
Anything come to mind that you cannot wait to see?
The two Matrix movies are definately on top of my lists but so far nothing has really stuck out this year like last.
I'm really pshyched about Spirited Away comming out on DVD today along with Kiki's Delivery Serivce and Castle in the Sky.
I would love it if the Cowboy Bebop movie came around here but I know better and will probably have to wait for it to come out on video.

Re: Time to revive this dinosaur!
 

Yea, I was sad when I read that it was only coming out in maybe 15 theaters(right?)
I really wanted to see that on the big screen....

Re: Re: Time to revive this dinosaur!
 

I'd be happy just to see it, period.

i really want to see X-Men 2. It looks like it's gonna be good.
What's Cowboy Bebop??:confused:

Bullet Proof Monk
The Guru (though i think it's already out)
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Star Wars EPIII
