Howdy

After a relaxing long weekend I don't have much to say though I am intrigued by the Ong-Bak drinking game Mr. Struthers is discussing over in his area of madness. However the thought of using his "High Class Hooker" concoction to play the game does not sound as inviting.

Criminal

U.S. remake of an Argentinian film "Nine Queens", I like both of them about equally but that is only because John C. Reilly is in this one and he is a God among us mere mortals. However if you have seen enough con films in your life you will likely see the twists coming. Thumbs Up

Knight Rider 2000

Blasphemy of the highest order, no original theme tune, no original car. Only the Hoff acting all shirtless comes close to saving this. Thumbs Down

First Daughter

Really can't believe Forrest Whitaker made this, watched just to help me over my once crush on Katie Holmes which disappeared when she went mental last year when the scientologists brain washed her into thinking Tom Cruise was cuter than me. Thumbs Down

Eight Crazy Nights

Animated film starring Adam Sandler, ridicuously childish toilet humour which I'm a sucker for so I got a laugh out of it. Thumbs in the Middle

Friday The 13th Part 2

The adult Jason makes his first appearance in the franchise, this time with a bag over his head, the iconic hockey mask didn't make an appearance till the third part. Basic story is a bunch of teenagers have sex and then get killed. Thumbs Down

The Legend Of Zorro

I thought the first one was an enjoyable enough romp, but this was horrible, took an hour and 20 minutes to reveal the plot and they did the shitty thing most Hollywood sequels do by introducing a cute kid, except the cute kid is as annoying as fuck and I kept wishing someone would stab him in the eye. Thumbs Down

The Matador

The first real surprise of the year, black comedy in which Pierce Brosnan plays a fading hitman who is tired of his life. some fantastic dialogue my favourite being after Brosnan flirts with some Mexican schoolgirls "I hate Catholic countries. All blushy blushy and no sucky-fucky". Thumbs Up

The Backyard

Hilarious documentary about a bunch of hicks who think they will make it big in wrestling by starting out in there backyard hitting each other with chairs. My favourite bits where a guy whose gimmick was Big Mac with Spork, and the Retarded butcher who has a match stopped because his mum keeps moving the tables and other weapons out of the way, made funnier by the fact that she is the only person watching it. Thumbs Up

Four Brothers

John Singleton what went wrong, started off with Boyz n the Hood and went right downhill. There are flashes of greatness in here but the rest of the crap just drags it down to a mediocre mess. Thumbs in the Middle

Adventures of Robin Hood

Like most films from the 30's that are hailed as classics they have been imitated and ripped off so many times that when you see them you wonder what the fuss was all about. I enjoyed it well enough but would not hail it as some masterpiece. Thumbs in the Middle
