Thoughts on every movie I've ever seen.

Ghost (1990)

Although some of the effects are a bit dated, it works. Touching story. Zucker, huh? Swayze seems a bit goofy, but he pulls it off. Moore used to be cute.

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)

Even if I could stay awake, I think I would have had a hard time keeping the story straight. Depp’s character and any potential drama is lost to a convoluted, confusing plot. Easily, the worst of the three.

Knocked Up (2007)

You have a drama dealing with some pretty serious issues and seriously tormented characters. You see not 1, not 2, but 3 shots of a baby emerging from a vagina. And it’s supposed to be a comedy, too? The mix doesn’t work. John Hughes is one of the only people…

Blood Diamond (2006)

A well-made film and a touching story. Zwick has really fine-tuned his art. DiCaprio nails it. A completely believable character. Hounsou turns in a strong performance as well.

Another Day in Paradise (1998)

Drugs and violence without much character development. Feels like it was made by a film student. Wagner is spunky and cute.

Just not all that interesting.

The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)

I tried and tried and tried, but I could not get into the story. Didn’t care about any of the characters.

Live from Baghdad (2002)

OK story, pretty good cast. Keaton is unannoying and even likeable. Something different.

Deal of the Century (1983)

Goofy story. A young Chase is confident and mildly engaging.
