House of Sand and Fog

Not exactly a feel good movie but a good movie with good acting. Check it out if you're a fan of Jennifer Connelly. Have you ever noticed how in three of her movies there's a scene where she's standing over a pier?

The 6th Day

Cashing in on the cloning debate. What if you can clone humans and also their memories? That would make cool movie wouldn't it?

While not as ridiculous as I expected it to be some parts of the
movie was still pretty lame. Or maybe it was meant to be either way I enjoyed it-- it was funny and also had Arnold in it.

Time for a new poll, methinks ....

I think it's time for a new poll. How about if I use my ingenuity to come up with one? Whaddya say Xiaoxin? More polls could create more interest ... bring in more miccahphiles ... good idea, eh?

Catch Me If You Can

This movie is a story about of Frank Abagnale Jr. For those who don't know Frank stole millions in the 60s by writing bad checks. He also impersonated airline pilot, doctor, lawyer and a teacher and did this mostly in his teens. The man also escaped from capture many times. Of course this movie isn't very accurate and leaves out details that I find interesting. I am disappointed by that. Frank is an amazing social engineer and I would have liked to seen them show more detail of everything he did. Still the movie by it self is entertaining.

School of Rock

I finally got a chance to see this movie. Jack Black is one of my favorite actor/musicians. Why? He's funny and talented! I guess I've been a fan since the Tenacious D HBO specials. I've been to a Tenacious D concert and I've bought Tenacious D stuff. So this review maybe biased. He was great in this movie. I thought this movie was very entertaining and the music was rock-a-licious!

Yojimbo

A classic Akira Kurosawa's movie. Yojimbo inspired Fist Full of Dollars (Clint Eastwood) and Last Man Standing (Bruce Willis). Fortunately I've seen neither of these movies. Yojimbo stands on it's own. A great movie, and not too terribly long (compared to Seven Samurai). Check it out if you want to see a classic.

The Others

Not a big fan of horror films, so I found it a bit difficult to review this film, especailly when there's not chopping of body parts, blood, or humor. Also the surprise at the end wasn't much a surprise. I kind of guessed.

Paycheck

I was not wooed by this John Woo movie. I am very apprehensive when it comes to John Woo. I like his earlier works when he was a HK director. But once he came to Hollywood, his movies are way overdone pieces of crap. So every time he comes out with a movie, I sincerely want him to redeem himself. Not this time. Not with this film, and not with Ben Affleck.

This movie was terrible beyond words. First, the plot. A miserable failure. Second, the acting. Failure failure failure! Watching Ben Affleck puffing out his chest is not action! Slow mo is not action. It's terrible and I couldn't wait for the movie to end.
