This one? Perhaps you're talking about MP3.com, but that became a pay MP3 directory a couple months back.

The Terminal - 6.5/10 Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks have worked together as an actor/director team 3 times, each time producing something unique. This time, The Terminal is a romantic comedy that is able to go beyond the date movie genre. While the beginning is a little tiresome, the overall concept of the movie is actually rather original, something one doesn't see too much nowadays. Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta Jones are really good on screen together, and the rest of the cast fills out the film nicely. Some of the plot is ridiculous, and maybe Viktor Navorski's studiousness is a little nonsensical, but this is a movie I would recommend. Thumbs up.

Norm MacDonald: NORM: I just want to make it clear about that cock thing. [Laughter.] I was just saying, if I ever was gay, if they, like, suddenly made it mandatory or something, then I would choose the smallest cock. [Laughter.] And I would like a guy who came fast. [Laughter.] I thought the subject was cocks! [Laughter.] DENNIS: No, cocks is next week!

Barbershop - 6/10 I saw the sequel before this, and it would appear that the second has way more laughs. Still, this is a perfectly watchable film, with enough laughs and commentary to make it recommendable. Thumbs up. Garfield - 5/10 This film is ridiculously cliched. Parts of it are very corny, and others unoriginal. There's plenty for the kids, but not much for the parents. That being said, there is something noticeable sweet about this film, that makes it very watchable. Yeah, Breckin Meyer and Jennifer Love Hewitt (although she's easy to watch) aren't the greatest of performers. Yeah, the on screen Garfield looks next to nothing like the comic book. However, there's plenty to be enjoyed if you come into it with proper expectations. That said, thumbs down, just because it's nothing new, and not particularily well done.

Well... yeah. I liked a movie with a 92% Fresh rating on RottenTomatoes.com and currently ranked number 44 on IMDB's list of all time greatest movies. Was that supposed to be a dig, or were you just trying to be ironic?

From a reputation standpoint, the Star Wars prequel, even though I've liked both of the films.

A few that people probably won't mention: Alan Rickman as Severus Snape: Rickman is Snape. It's simple as that. Despite looking like a Meth addict in the first movie, Alan Rickman pulls this character off so well that I can't really think of anyone else in the role. Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones/Han Solo: Those two roles are so Ford it's not funny. The action hero presence combined with a winning sense of humour make the characters perfect for him. Tom Hanks as Chuck Noland: I can't be sure that the character wasn't changed at all in the translation from screenplay to film, but Hanks did this role perfectly. Noland's moral strength and unending desire to escape his predicament play perfectly to Hanks' strengths, and it was a robbery that he didn't win the Oscar for it. Will Smith as Mohammed Ali: The mannerisms, the speech, the look; Smith had Ali down. It's just too bad the film had to be so lacklustre and long.

Say it ain't so Ben! 7 months seems such a long time to wait for his next album. Rockin the Suburbs rawked, and any CD with William Shatner will surely pale in comparison.

It was lame. They took a mildly interesting plot and made... that. There were many movies made worse than it this year, but there were also a ton better. Think I gave it 5/10.

Fuckin Chuck Norris... Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story - 6/10 It is sometimes scary how well Vince Vaughn plays comedy. Despite performances in Swingers, Made, Old School and countless other comedies, it's almost hard to not take him serious when you think of his many dramatic roles. Still, movies like this show his definite talents at playing the deadpan funny guy. If the script is a little sketchy, it is more than offset by the hilarious cast of characters, including Rip Torn, Ben Stiller and especially Stephen Root as Gordon. Maybe some points seem ridiculous, but one is so consumed with laughter that it's almost hard to notice. Thumbs up, as this is one of the better films you'll see this year from a big budget comedy standpoint.

Passion of the Christ was also stringent in it's advertisements. The reason for it is that the film company knows that they can get a ton of free advertisement just with the inevitable press for it. The Palm D'Or is enough press alone to make it successful, but get Michael Moore on a ton of TV shows and you can guarantee people will care, especially if there's a large movement to stop the film.

Jagged Edge, because that song with Nelly is bad ass. Most 112 music somehow manages to be B2K light.

They ought to hope it does well this weekend, because it'll be off the radar come next Wednesday.

Wow, now that's a problem no man would ever be upset to have.

Leonardo was bad ass. Fuck a nunchuck when the dude's got a sword.

What, are you upset you bought this instead of the Hilary Duff album? It's not up to Beastie's scratch, but it's certainly better than most of the albums you're gonna hear this year. There are a good 5 or 6 quality songs on the album, such as Triple Trouble, Letter to NYC, Hey Fuck You, Crawlspace and Now Get Busy. I recommend it, although it's a little disappointing.

It has actually been on Canadian TV a couple of times, although I missed both of them. This film raised one hell of a stink at Sundance, and is said to be better than Fahrenheit 911.

In no specific order: Kanye West - "Jesus Walks" Matthew Good - "Alert Status Red" Billy Talent - "River Below" Norah Jones - "Sunrise" Sugarcult - "Memory" Franz Ferdinand - "Take Me Out" The Killers - "Somebody Told Me" Van Halen - "It's About Time" Mase - "Welcome Back" Beastie Boys - "Ch-Check It Out"

No. They're transplanting their views onto impressionable teens. Young people these days (outside of America at least) are inundated left wing politically influenced artists/celebrities. I'm not a Conservative by any means, but that's lopsided and unfair. I got to where I was politically by listening to what both sides have to say and making my mind up. These kids are being asked to choose between fashionable musicians and old politicians; who do you think they're going to side with. So yeah, artists should keep their big mouths shut, and if they want to enlighten people then give people the unbiased facts and let them make their minds up. People aren't too dumb to do that.

So were the Star Wars films if I remember correctly, I think The Adventures of Luke Skywalker were published well before the movies. IMO movies with the least about of interior monologue make the best adaptations. Take Harry Potter, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, for example. Harry Potter and Star Wars are more or less dialogue driven, while Lord of the Rings is more scene and image based. All of these books have adapted superbly to screen, albeit with a stacked crew. On the other side, a great book like 1984 was doomed to failure, mainly because the book operates mostly inside of the character Winston Smith's head, something that is very difficult to transfer to screen. For a book like this to work on screen, they have to make significant changes to the way the story is presented, and that is bound to alienate many of the book's fans.

Actually, Newell is a very good director, perhaps better than Cuaron, although comparing their movies is hard. What really counts is that screenwriter Steve Cloves is back for a fourth film. Look him up on RottenTomatoes.com, he's really the ace in Harry Potter's hole (oh yes, it was intended that way). He's got his work cut out for him though, while it's a great book, Goblet of Fire will be hard to adapt to the screen properly, and they decided to only do one movie for it. Hopefully they do Order of the Phoenix in two parts, because while Azkaban was a great movie, it was a terrible adaptation of the book.

I agree. Did you ever see the MTV special that featured Method Man and Redman living with a rich New Orleans family? That was the type of humour that would have worked, not age old stereotypes.

They've never done it in Live Action yet.

I'll try to do a few ones that won't be posted a dozen times. Almost Famous Directed By: Cameron Crowe Genre: Comedy/Drama/Music I gave this film 9/10, and it was decorated at the 2001 Academy Awards (although Gladiator snaked away with Best Picture). The cast seems to have such a good repore that they effortlessly float through scenes. The script is full of insightful commentary into the late 60's and early 70's band. Best of all, Jason Lee, Zooey Deschanel and Anna Paquin, in one movie! Of course, then Crowe went and made *sigh* Vanilla Sky. Whale Rider Directed By: Niki Caro Genre: Drama/Family This isn't one of my absolute favorites, but in the interest of being original, this is a must see because of the performance of young Keisha Castle-Hughes, who at 13 became the youngest nominee in the Best Actress category. You think Emma Watson is a good child actress? Watch this film and see if you still agree. Outside of the outstanding performance, what this film also has is classic mysticism. A girl rises up against the male dominated society attempting to push her out of the position she is to inherit. It's an overdone scenario, I know, but also a classic one. This is a really good film that went under the radar last year.

To be honest, the real wit was the only saving grace of the pilot, and all the "ghetto" was it's downfall. Perhaps Method should give in more, it might actually end up funny.
