Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
There can be no hope in a movie that opens with a naked, sweaty Philip
Seymour Hoffman doing someone doggy-style. None at all. Also, they
managed to make Ethan Hawke look terrible. Albert Finney turned out to
be a good actor, though. (I've never really seen him in anything else.) I
really enjoyed the strategy they used for flashbacks, both introducing
them and editing them in. It kept things interesting, always revealing
more of the story without ever making you feel like you were missing out
on something. It really is more of a melodrama than a thriller, and the
commentary was quite interesting. More enjoyable than the movie,
certainly.
Blade: Trinity
I still don't like Wesley Snipes, and this struck me as rather immature.
Dominic is good and Ryan is hot, but Blade II is still the only one
worth watching.
Speed Racer
This hurt my eyes, and I wish I knew more about the cartoon. The movie
needed way more Asian people, but Benno was an awesome surprise. I think
I would've liked it more if I were a 10 year-old boy, but it wasn't
bad.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
The first few minutes didn't grab me, but the Tri-Wizard
Championship proved to be interesting, and I'm curious to see the next
one.
The Forbidden Kingdom
The lead guy is cute, all the women are hot, and Jet Li and Jackie Chan are in the same movie. What more do you need?
