PoTC. Very fun indeed. Some truely fantastic comic moments.
The Passion of The Christ. I suprisingly really, really liked this movie a lot. One line should've been in there that wasn't and the ending became less and less relevant to me personaly as it went along, but the first half is phenominal, and it has some truely great performances, especialy by the guy playing Pontius Pilate. And ideologicaly, I found no problem with this movie.

Well I didn't see PoTC, because I didn't think I would like it. I think that's because I already knew what to expect. I did however see 'The Last Temptation of Christ' which I thought was pretty intresting. TLToC was actually banned in america for a few years, because of it contradicting belief with what was likely to have been true back then.
My movie is 'Ginger Snaps.' It happens to be my favorite movie. Even though it's a horror. Which I'm more the type who enjoys comedy movies.

I'm a fan of the original Nutty Professor with Jerry Lewis(1963). Never really liked the newer incarnations. Now for my next movie pick.... the Count of Monte Cristo. It's definately up there with my favorites of all time. Hey, it got me to wander into the "literature" section of the bookstore to hunt out the book. That's gotta stand for something.

Ever after: a modern cinderella (?). Not so bad, but not my favourite film
Frailty: one of the better thriller (?)

I loved Frailty. Paxton shows tons of promise as a director.
Gangs of New York. I am constantly in awe of Daniel Day-Lewis' performance, he created one of the greatest characters ever.

Gangs of New York- IMO it was TOO long, but overall good
Legends of the Fall-
great cast and story about 2 brothers

I'll tae this opportunity to make a positive comment on a previous movie. Gangs of New York... AMAZING. Daniel Day Lewis was great. Going from John Proctor in the Crucible to GoNY shows his range of skill. And it was one of few movies in which I liked leonardo dicaprio's performance.
Now for another pick spurred on by my comment... Catch Me if You Can. It's in my sister's collection and I watch it on a fairly regular basis. Tom Hanks, leonardo dicaprio(now that he's doing better performances in better films), and Christopher Walken.... can't go wrong.

Catch Me If You Can: I thought the acting was great and I loved the story.
Twisted: Ashley Judd, Samuel L. Jackson, Andy Garcia

Never Seen
Twisted, but I love
Catch Me If You Can. Fantastic music to that one as well
.
The Bourne Supremecy- a good, solid action piece. Much better than the original (but that's not saying much, as I hated the original)

"Bourne Supremacy" - PHENOMENAL movie, based off one of Ludlum's FINEST works, Daemon, out of all of Hollywood, is by far the best for the role...
"Meet the Parents"

Not a huge Ben Stiller fan but Robert Deniro was great. I'm more of a fan of Jerry Stiller, he's hilarious.
Now for my next pick, I'm going way back. Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Featuring the young (29) Sean Connery with black hair and not a hint of facial hair. I grew up on that movie.

The Harry Potter series are good movies, never read the books, and probably never will, so I'll be content. Defnately a children's story for all ages. On a side note Harry Potter is like crack to some people. They read the books and watch the movies repeatedly. There's gotta be some point where they can say it's getting old. Some things I'll never understand.
This is goin back too, but not too far. Another movie I grew up on. Monster Squad. There's no better monster movie than that. "Fat kid kicked wolfman in the nards!" "Wolfman's got nards!!!" You can't beat that.
