Man that was bad
29 July 2003
Warning: Spoilers
Where to start? I'll start by saying i was near leaving the theater, something i have never done before. I only stayed cuz i was with my friends and we were havin a good time makin fun of it. If u've been following the talk shows and what not u'll know that Jolie has been saying that she tried to add depth to the character. That failed miserably. What's worse is that in attempting to add depth to the character they tried to write a good plot. It was a horrible plot. Predictable and trite. To just put the icing on the cake in trying to write a good plot they ignored making good action scenes. So the result was scenes that just looked somewhat stupid. A flip here and there that was totally unnecessary and (spoiler) a missed gunshot from 5 feet away from some guy who was supposed to be an expert karate master/soldier. She even had her back turned. I could have shot her. I wish someone did. So the bad plot took over the movie. U know, I wasn't even expecting a good plot, i was just expecting good action and a plot just so there could be more action. But no they had to ruin it and write a really bad plot and ignore making good action scenes. When they're showing this movie on pay per view don't even bother watching it even if u steal ur cable.

The Pianist (2002)
10/10
I couldn't turn it off
29 July 2003
Man, at 1 in the morning i wanted to go to sleep, but couldn't. The Pianist was such an excellent movie that I couldn't wait til the morning (even tho it already was) to finish it. And I can't believe it was based on a real man and his story. What an amazing story. I think it is the best Holocaust movie out there, better than Schindler's List. Powerful, yet not over the top. Extremely interesting as in, I would rather p**s myself than get up and go to the bathroom cuz its so good. One word to descibe it- Wow.

Good idea, Bad execution
13 February 2003
Warning: Spoilers
(This contains some spoilers though you might as well read it since the movie was so bad.) The plot started out very well. However after the first 5 minues the plot started to plummet. It was an excellent idea, the movie could have been as scary as The Ring, but the director ruined it. The monster went psycho on the whole town even though there was supposed to be only one way it will try to kill you. Then at one point if you look for it you can actually see the actor's face behind the mask of the monster. I tried to sleep during the movie but I couldn't bcause of the loud noises when a part of the movie was supposed to be scary but wasn't. It looks like it took $10 to make this movie. Not a good waste of money to see this movie.
