Maybe I was just in the wrong mood for the film, but it really didn't pique my interest.

My friends absolutely love this movie and I remember watching it years ago and they were seriously freaked out about it. I also thought it was a snooze fest. I thought the end was a bit freaky, though. Oh and don't even bother with the second one.

Blair Witch Project is one of those love or hate films. I happen to really like it but I can definitely understand not liking it as well. I thought Apocalypto was brilliant personally.

The new Ice Age movie. It was cute, but like the other Ice Age movies they just lack a certain something for me that I can't quite put my finger on. The character Buck (voiced by Simon Pegg) really made the movie for sure and brought the laughs.

I watched Gran Torino last night.
Clint Eastwood's grunts were epic as always.

I think Blair Witch Project might also be one of those movies that you had to see when it first came out to fully enjoy it. I saw it at a midnight screening before it even had it's general theatrical release so I knew basically nothing about the movie going in except that was some kind of disturbing documentary or something. It's not that I thought it was real while I was watching it but that tiny lingering doubt in the back of my mind really helped make it an extremely creepy movie experience for me. I wouldn't be surprised if, now that's it's ten years old and very well known, it's lost a lot of its punch for someone seeing it for the first time.

One a similar note, I just watched this movie for the first time:

I have to confess I was expecting to like it more than I did, but I wonder if it's a similar situation to Blair Witch Project, maybe if I had seen it in 1992 I would've loved it. It's definitely an interesting movie and I'd say it was definitely ahead of its time, just didn't grab me for whatever reason though.

Yeah Right!-By Girl Skateboards

yeah, it's a skate video, but i'm counting it as a film. while the skating itself is great, what i really love is the use of special effects and greescreening in an almost arthouse sort of way.


plus the cameo by Owen Wilson is pretty lulzworthy.

Saw this on one of my days off. I've probably seen this movie about a dozen times and I find it funny every time :rofl:.

The scene with the pregnant woman definitely tipped the film into exploitation territories for me and I think it took the film in an unwanted direction for me.

I was definitely expecting some intensity considering who was involved but I was pleasantly surprised by the introspection of the film. It was a little emotionally manipulative but still a damn good film and proof that rourke is still a brilliant actor.
