movies...movies...and more movies...

Constantine.

now this movie, was cool.

granted Keanu Reeves is still in the "I-must-save-the-world-because-I-am-its-last-line-of-defense" role again, but who cares?

he did that in:

Johnny Mnemonic
Chain Reaction
The Devil's Advocate
The Matrix
The Matrix Reloaded
The Matrix Revolutions
and the Replacements

Well, maybe not the Replacements, but he had to save the football team, which can be counted as the world during FOOTBALL SEASON, RIGHT KATHERINE?!

So why should Keanu's role be any different in Constantine?

It shouldn't. And that's why he's our last line of defense.

Why did I like this movie? It boils down to the fact that we're smack in the middle of Heaven and Hell.

Cool idea. Not new, but cool.

See it if you want to see people on fire.

Besides, if you've watched Constantine, you can draw parallels to movies like Dogma as well.

Oh, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. when will you get old?


Ladder 49

I don't have too much to say about this movie. it's definitely one of those homage movies to the FDNY.

It was definitely entertaining, and in the beginning I would've recommended people to watch it...but now that I think about it...it's just okay. If you like watching Joaquin Phoenix...get trapped in flames...(ha. ha. ha.) then you should check it out. Otherwise, use your own discretion.

See it if you want to see people on fire.

Oh yeah, if you like John Travolta and short boxers, you should check it out too.


The Stepford Wives

Unless you fantasize about sleeping with a short haired, powerfully dominating, extreme fem-power Nicole Kidman, you should avoid this one.

At all costs.

Unless you also masturbate to Matthew Broderick. Then you'll want to watch for his boyish charms.


Hotel Rwanda


Moving, moving film. I like Don Cheadle, and his acting carries here.
It's kind of like watching Schindler's List, but set in Rwanda.
With black people and a hotel.

Sorry, I just ruined the movie.


Hostage

BRUCE WILLIS IN A ROLE ABOUT SAVING PEOPLE'S LIVES, WHAT A SURPRISE!
Entertaining, but not much else.

See it if you want to see people on fire.


Assault on Precinct 13

Ethan Hawke reprises his role from Training Day as Jake.

OKaY, I lied. Different Jake, but a Jake nonetheless.

Morpheus is there too. Just not as cool

See it if you want to see people on fire.



You think I'm kidding when I say "See it if you want to see people on fire."

WELL I'M NOT.
