Is the song and dance scene the one where Jay begins by putting on the chapstick?

Um, no, but that's a great Silence of the Lambs reference. It's the one where Dante starts to tell the girl that he loves her, and then people on the street bust out into a Jackson 5 song.

Better than what everybody says about it.

I've actually been wanting to see that documentary. I don't even know if they have it at Blockbuster.

Just saw Hot Fuzz again. Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are two movies that I can always come back to and enjoy. Still not sure which one I like better, but Hot Fuzz is fantastic. I love all the constant dramatic, action stylized camera shots on everyday things. Like when Angel waits for the bus. Classic.

B+

Spiderwick Chronicles - good movie I'd give it a B

I saw The Love Guru today. I was going to see Wanted, but it was sold out. Anyway, Love Guru was pretty funny. Mike Meyers is always hilarious. This movie was almost too stupid at times, but I had quite a few laughs. Some crude/sex-related humor. Worth watching, but there may be better movies out there.

Get Smart - I went in not expecting much, and I was entertained. Steve Carrel mostly carried the movie himself, but a few of the other actors had their moments too. I wouldn't buy the DVD or anything, but I'd say it's definitely worth a watch, especially if you like Steve Carrel. B-

A Clockwork Orange - Amazing movie. I can't recommend it here because it's full of nudity, a couple of graphic rape scenes, and ultraviolence, but... just wow. I'll never see the song "Singing in the Rain" again, not to mention Beethoven's 9th. A+

Edward Scissorhands.

A classic, and one of my favorite Tim Burton films. Cute, funny, sad, and somewhat depressing. A very bittersweet movie experience.

B+

Chasing Amy

I love this movie. Whip smart dialogue, wonderful characterizations, and a cast that's incredibly surprising (in that they act well... it has Ben Affleck in it... and he's good). The bad part is that this movie is one of the most sexual I've ever seen, but that's because of the subject matter. Still... it most definitely is a guilty pleasure to watch, and I feel as invested in the characters every time I see it as I did the first time. B+

My Neighbor Totoro

A really cute anime that Disney took over, very family friendly and give a good sampling at what anime has to offer

Hancock

My new favorite super hero movie. I still believe that Dark Knight has the potential to beat it out, but it certainly has its work cut out for it.

A-

Wall-E

I loved this movie. Parents paid my way while my younger brother treated my youngest brother. It had a great story, was charming, and I love how the humans look in the future. Great film.

A+

The Great Debaters

A good film that tried to be great and didn't quite make it. Denzel Washington cannot act poorly if he tried, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he's going to bring awesomeness to every film he's in, and the same is true in this movie. He should have either focused on directing or acting, not try both at the same time. I see much promise from him as a director a few years down the road...heck, he has the potential to be truly epic. But he's not there yet.

Still, I enjoyed it, and it was certainly an uplifting film.

B

Pulp Fiction

Blew my mind. Like Reservoir Dogs...except this one was better. And had an outcome that pleased me. Which means it's a film I'll be able to return to often. Amazing.

A+

Vantage Point

Really, really good acting from Dennis Quaid and cast. Well told story. Some redundancy takes place, but is forgivable.

I'll have a full review up on Rev21 soon (I'm writing it right now).

Still... I give it a B+

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters - Fun documentary about two guys competing for the world record for the highest score on Donkey Kong. If you're a gamer, you'll appreciate this; but I'd say even if you're not there's plenty of appeal. A
