Exceeded expectations. There were a couple things I'd never seen done before, and it kept me interested in the plot the whole time. At first I was disappointed with who was behind everything, but I gradually came to accept it. Michelle is pretty, and they couldn't possibly have found a cuter kid to play Sam. Roasario and Billy Bob were nice to see, too.
The Dark Knight
The entire movie is basically an exhibition of Heath Ledger's awesome
portrayal of the Joker, which makes it better than Batman Begins. I knew
it was him the whole time, obviously, but I didn't recognize him under
the make-up until about halfway through the movie. I loved everything
they did with his character aesthetically; hair, make-up, clothing, all
of it. Christian Bale does a good job too, but Bruce/Batman is a minor
player compared to the Joker.
Rashômon
Bo-ring. The woman was ugly, she had no eyebrows; why was everyone
always so sweaty?! The story does have some merit, but maybe it's better
just to read the book.
Army of Darkness
Weird. I don't like weird movies. This one wasn't scary though, and I
don't like scary movies, so it has that going for it. It was cool to
finally hear all of the quotes, but aside from that, like so many
series, they should've stopped earlier. I can see why people like the
series as a whole, though.
Evil Dead 2
At first I was like, "fuck, why would he go *back* to that cabin?" but then I was reminded that he never escaped in the first place, so it was okay. I liked this scenario much better than the first one; starting out with one person and adding more was way better than starting off with lots of annoying people. The cheese and gore factors were both lower than in Evil Dead, which made it better. I found it to be an acceptable movie.
