Thoughts on every movie I've ever seen.

Legend (1985)

A badly told story wrapped in an acid trip. Is this where Forrest Gump got his name?

The Man (2005)

A couple of good lines, but pretty lame.

Everything Is Illuminated (2005)

Really well-made. Shots, music, acting, and dialog are all polished. Wood’s odd natural appearance really helps set the mood, and Hutz is magical. A spiritual Little Miss Sunshine.

Hard Candy (2005)

Horrifyingly horrible. Page is annoying at best.

House on Haunted Hill (1999)

Scary and kinda fun. Nice cast.

Simply Irresistible (1999)

Stupid.

Bill Cosby: Himself (1983)

Watching it now, it just doesn’t seem that funny. Cosby’s comic timing his a bit off, and all his drug humor is just childish. Was he really a riot back then?

Miami Vice (2006)

Foxx pulls it off. Farrell does not. The film has a good feel, but the story isn’t interesting enough. Maybe coolness alone can’t carry a feature-length movie the way it could carry a TV show in the 80’s. Sweet footage of the tank gun shooting into cars.

American Splendor (2003)

Why should we care about this prick?
