American Beauty
This was a lot like Six Feet Under. The fantasy sequences, the themes,
the music, the lighting..it was all very reminiscent of the show, which
is interesting considering the fact that the director, cinematographer,
and composer apparently never did much work on it. I don't think it
deserves the type of "most original awesome thing ever" acclaim that it
got, but aside from that it was as good as it was supposed to be.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
It was cheesy in places and apparently didn't really follow his story or
do justice to the other characters, but I didn't know the difference. I
liked it.
Blind Fury
Based on the cover of the VHS, I was pretty sure this was going to be
just about the worst movie I'd ever seen. It was dopey, but it's fun if
you don't take it seriously, and I liked it.
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
A refreshing movie after the last two. It really captures the simple,
beautiful things. The story's nothing spectacular, but it's not hard to
watch. I didn't like the ending, though.
Wicked City
Unbeliveably visually unappealing.
Ugh. How am I supposed to like an anime that completely lacks attractive
characters? The twist at the end was interesting, although partially
predictable, but I didn't enjoy the animation style at all.
Twilight of the Dark Master
This went up 127% in popularity in the last week on IMDb. Possibly
because I just searched for it. It was fairly fast-paced and slightly
poignant; felt a little empty because of the pacing, though.
The Craft
I wanted to see this for a couple years after it came out, and then I
forgot about it. It was pretty much what I was expecting (now, not
then). It was decent enough. Fairuza Balk was not, and apparently still
is not, pretty at all..but her eyes really are turqoise.
