  1. An FBI Agent on Survivor? Oh if only FOX hadn't moved The O.C. to Thursdays... Well we know he doesn't stand a chance; way too much of a threat. All in all looks like another bland cast, but I guess you never know.
  2. Musically: That "Our Lips Are Sealed" song wasn't half God-awful. So Duff. Acting: Let's see, Lohan made "Mean Girls" and "Freaky Friday". Duff made "Cheaper By the Dozen". Is there even need to compare in this category? Lohan by a mile. Hotness: Well, Duff is prettier. Lindsay Lohan just has big fake breasts. And freckles. Did I mention she had freckles?
  3. Connie and Carla - 3/10 What a fucking trainwreck. Shitty music sang poorly mixed in with lame humour and David Duchovny. From now on, Nia Vardalos should stop writing movies unless they're about big Greek weddings that happen to be a little fat. Thumbs down.
  4. Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed - 3.5/10 This is just corny annoying bullshit that lacks anything redeeming for anyone over the age of 10 (with the lack of one brief moment towards the end of the movie, which I laughed at). I'd hate to be a parent taking his or her kid to see this. Thumbs down. The Ladykillers - 4/10 The Coen brothers attempt to utilize style to overcompensate for a lack of quality content. It attempts to strike the comedic Ocean's Eleven vein, but instead runs 20 minutes too long and spreads it's cast out too far. Hanks is the only redeeming quality of the film, and even he is a far cry from his Oscar winning form in this one. Again, thumbs down.
  5. Garden State - 9/10 Garden State is the superbly written and directed debut of Zach Braff, who plays JD Dorian on NBC's Scrubs. It is both poignant and hilarious, sweet and sad; all the while enhanced with a savvy soundtrack that compliments the film's mood. The acting performances are really what makes Garden State such a gem. Natalie Portman plays by far her most original character to date, and manages to remain sweet while playing a noticeably unperfect person. Peter Sarsgaard is obviously brilliant, although one has come to expect such from the man who I consider to be the most talented actor in the business today. Ian Holm is the hidden gem of the film, playing the distraught and confused father of Braff's Andrew Largeman, seeing medication as the answer to his son's problems. Rarely has such a sweet ode to one's birthplace been made, and Zach Braff's debut film ensures that he will be around for a long time. Thumbs up, although I want to see the film again before I say too much more.
  6. Seeing Other People - 6/10 While the script could have probably done with a rewrite (to revitalise some of the second act dialogue), it builds really well to the desired goal. Some of the supporting cast is weak in performance, Julianne Nicholson is really fabulous. A funny, sad and sometimes romantic comedy that has more working for it than against. Thumbs up.
  7. Little Black Book - 4/10 A cinematic dilemna. Perfectly compitent on the acting front, but the creative end of things are rather bleak. The script is mismanaged with dramatic, comedic and romantic bits, with a little bit of satire thrown in. Brittany Murphy gives reason to believe she's better than films like these. Thumbs down.
  8. Me too. It would be fun comparing this to Ishtar, and Pluto Nash, and Waterworld... ←
  9. I, Robot - 6/10 Will Smith gives perhaps the best performance of his career as a hybrid of comedy and drama. He's deadpan when he needs to be, and passionate when he needs to be. An above average script that asks real moral questions elevates this above the typical action movie level. A flawed, but ultimately entertaining movie. Thumbs up.
  10. Of course it should be noted that approximately 150 million dollars of the budget will go to proper trailers for individual trailers for their collective egos. It'll probably be a big hit and make it's money back no problem, but I kind of hope it flops and does less than one hundred million.
  11. The Bourne Supremacy - 8/10 After two movies, the Bourne Trilogy still has all the freshness of the first film. This is another superbly put together film that showcases both Matt Damon's acting chops and Paul Greengrass' superb direction. It's got to be one hell of a job taking the reigns from Doug Liman, and Greengrass captures the pace of the original while turning the tables from a character standpoint. It's hard to compare the two films, because they're completely different animals, but both are excellent. Thumbs up.
  12. The Bourne Identity - 8/10 As far as popcorn action movies go, it doesn't get much better than this. Poor Affleck, Bourne Identity-lite (aka Paycheck) paled so far in comparison. Checking Supremacy out tonight. Thumbs up.
  13. In no order: Scrubs The Cosby Show Cosby (It still rocked) Seinfeld All In the Family The Simpsons Family Guy Cheers Frasier (See Cosby, although it stopped rocking a couple of years ago) Newsradio As you can see I'm a bit of a sitcom nut.
  14. /forum/index.php?showtopic=6288">http://www.ewbattleground.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=6288 Oh I wish I wish these wouldn't pop up every other week.
  15. 2003 was embarassing. 04 has a ton of inventive films under its belt, even if it did spawn Alien vs. Predator and Sleepover.
  16. I can't say I'm surprised, but I can't say I care either. He should have come back before they released Results May Vary, killing my interest in Limp Bizkit presumably forever.
  17. That's nothing. By the end of 2005, companies plan to release another version of DVD, which will, of course, require a new player to play them. It's called HD DVD, and they are expected to be on the market by the end of '05. Source.
