all in a day's (lack of) work

Garden State

Waaaaaaaaaay overrated. Natalie Portman's character was kind of interesting, but not really fleshed out enough to make me care. Did anyone actually think he was going to leave her at the end? I mean, seriously, why can't movies make more of an ef...

Premonition

nobody@vox.com(lisa) — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 21:38:11 -0400

Suuuuuuuuuucked. The acting was pretty bad, the story was confusing, the resolution was stupid, and also IT MADE NO SENSE. If you're making a movie about a fucked-up timeline, at least make an effort to stick to it! God. On the plus side, the hu...

Drop Dead Fred

Gretchen was very upset that I hadn't seen this before, so we had a movie night on Saturday. It was funny and I'm glad we watched it, but I don't know if I'd put it anywhere near my Top Five (which is where Gretchen keeps it- I know!). It has a ...

Spirited Away

nobody@vox.com(lisa) — Sat, 03 Feb 2007 20:43:30 -0500

Could this movie be a little longer? ::rolls eyes:: It was good and cute and funny and everything, just way too long and also unfinished feeling. All in all, I was not impressed.

Adventures in Babysitting

A little overdone and dorky, but mostly awesome and hilarious. I love random '80s movies.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

nobody@vox.com(lisa) — Sun, 12 Nov 2006 20:20:55 -0500

It was okay. The story wasn't put together too well, but most of the acting was decent. I'd say it's worth it just for Jonathan Pryce as Mr. Dark. He sold that role like you wouldn't believe! Otherwise- too long, crappy characterization, and kin...

The Five People You Meet in Heaven

nobody@vox.com(lisa) — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 21:28:23 -0400

I only watched half of this. I've been holding onto the dvd for a month, because I kept telling myself I had to watch it. But you know what? Fuck it. The book was kind of boring (but worth it for the ending, which was just perfect) and I can't be...

Fight Club

nobody@vox.com(lisa) — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 21:24:35 -0400

What does it say about me that I went back and forth between two lines of thought for the entire movie? The first was that Edward Norton and Brad Pitt should make out, which, seriously, they should have. The second had two parts: first of all, ev...

Jackass 2

nobody@vox.com(lisa) — Sun, 08 Oct 2006 00:39:39 -0400

Ahahahahahaha. I love stupid boys doing stupid things for the sole purpose of making me laugh, so I clearly loved this movie. I can't really say if it was better than the first one (since I've only watched it while totally drunk, heh), but it ...

Trainspotting

nobody@vox.com(lisa) — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 22:14:36 -0400

I really wanted to like this. Gretchen made me put it at the top of my list, cos it's one of her all-time favorites. I've heard nothing but good things about it. And it has Ewan *and* a kick-ass soundtrack! Well. I liked it, but I didn't really ...
