Movie Reviews

Well, the holiday season is here, and of course, that means Hollywood will be going mad realeasing big movies.

So far, I've seen Bridget Jones and Christmas w/ the Kranks.

Bridget Jones, hilarious. I am slightly miffed that everyone is contantly calling her fat. She is not fat. She is simply not so skinny you're afraid of breaking her if you hug her. Honestly, she's about the same size as me. And not only do I not consider myself fat, but other people accuse me of being almost too skinny, where's the happy medium. She's 10 lbs lighter than me for christs sake. And of course, they put her in too tight clothing to make her look bigger than she is. Anyone will look fat if they put her in a tank top two sizes too small so it's cutting into her shoulders and riding up her stomach. I will say this though for all you men out there thinking, pashaw, who the hell wants to see Bridget Jones? Her breasts are huge and are rather prevelently featured throughout the whole movie.

Christmas w/ the Kranks. Chosen soley to appease the masses. The masses being the kids vs the adults. Kids, just wanted to see a movie. Adults, wanted to see Colin and Jared get some hot man lovin in Alexander (okay, so that's why I wanted to see it. everyone else just wanted to see it). Christmas w/ the Kranks was the only one we could all agree, "we wouldn't be pissed off to have to see"

In the books, Bridget is quite fat, by UK standards. For the first film (which had its moments) Rene Zellweger gained 25lbs, but for Edge of reason (at best tolerable, at worst, singing Madonna in a Thai prison, which I only didn't walk out of because I heard there was a lesbian kiss at the end) she only gained 10.

Umm, I'll ask the question that I'm sure everyone else is wondering. Godric, have you actually read the Bridget Jones books? Not that it's bad, it's just...odd. And just for the record, I'm now irked w/ Godric because he has inadvertantly called me fat, because yes, I have 10lbs on her weight from the books.

Yeah, I read the Bridget Jones books, well beforehte movies came out. I was told that they were better than Adrian Mole, and although they were quite enjoyable, and had a shole menagerie of characters you could relate to, they're nowhere near the level of Sue Townsend's works of geius (though i've yet t read Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction).
As usual, I apologise wholeheartedly for any offence I may may have caused to anyone on these boards.
I should make that my signature...

Nah, I could never stay miffed at ya for longer than it takes me to write that I'm miffed at ya.

I saw an older movie today, but one that I had been wanting to see for awhile. The Dangerous Lives of Alter Boys. This was quite good. I'm still formulating what I think of it, I'll have to come back.

At the moment I'm watching Return of the King. Anyone ever heard of it?

Elvis' zombified body returns to Graceland to rid it of Sinners. Co-Stars GWB.

Minus 4 stars.

I saw 'Oceans's 12' today, a movie I was really looking forward to. In all, it was decent, but not nearly as good as the first one. It had a lot of humor and plenty of eye candy (including the ever charismatic Vincent Cassel). However, a lot of it seemed confusing, too. There were more plot twists this time around, but not all of them completely made sense. Also, some scenes, including one with Bruce Willis, seemed to go on too long. I wouldn't tell anyone not to see it, but I just wanted to warn fans of Ocean's 11 who had high hopes.

We rented Dodgeball last night. Seriously hilarious. I expected it to be funny, but it was even funnier than I expected it to be. Also, one of the characters was a pirate! A PIRATE! (J! A PIRATE! ) Pirates are the best. Also, Jason Bateman has this fantastically stupid little part. (Jason Bateman, currently of Arrested Development fame, I have a total crush on. )

So, hehe, my kind of movie!

Hehe, isn't that movie awesome? (As is Jason Bateman and Arrested Development). I wish I had the money to go buy it. Now that it's out though, only have to wait a few more weeks until Anchorman comes out! Last summer really had some hilarious movies ^^

OMG I LOVE Dodgeball!! That shit was the funniest!!

Has anyone seen Lemony Snicket....? I am going tonight but was curious of what people are saying?
