Watched The Hoax starring Richard Gere. It's based on the true story of Clifford Irving, an author who submits forged contracts to publishing giant McGraw Hill, claiming that he has been given the exclusive rights to ghost-write Howard Hughes' autobiography. They fork over the dough, no problem, but then he has to come up with wackier and wackier antics to perpetuate the lie. It was well-written and well-acted. Alfred Molina, as Irving's best friend and researcher, gives a very good performance. Marcia Gay Harden, as his long-suffering wife, is simply annoying. I'd cheat on this woman, too. I do recommend the film, though, if only to see Richard Gere as a brunette.

After the HALLOWEEN remake, we should have seen these coming. The Michael Bay produced remake of FRIDAY THE 13TH hits theaters this coming February. I read that it makes Jason out to be a bit more sympathetic a character, having been the nerdy outcast in school, blah, blah, blah . . . Here's the Wikipedia synopsis: Friday The 13th (2009) Oh for fucks sake. That doesn't make me sympathize with the guy at all. I mean can we quit this emo-bullying bullshit? I'm fucking tired of it. I agree. Are we that politically correct, that we need to know that if Jason got a hug once in a while, he'd have turned out just fine?

I just watched Mean Streets on DVD and enjoyed it. Martin Scorsese is a genius when it comes to this genre. Robert DeNiro steals the show as Johnny Boy. I am still wondering if he died at the end of the movie. David Proval was also great in a part that could have been an inspiration for his latter role of Richie Aprile on The Sopranos. One of my all-time favorites. If Johnny Boy did survive those wounds, I can't imagine he would have been long for this world either way. Not with his attitude. An absolute classic New York City street film.

So far I've loved everything and it's no wonder Marty's my favorite director

In the middle of Speed Racer (2008) and can't believe I'm still watching this pile of shit.  Wow. I actually fell asleep during it, woke up, and didn't feel I missed anything at all. I watched the original anime version all the time as a kid and liked it (and I don't even particularly like anime), but this pseudo-anime-live-action comes off as total crap to me here. At least Dick Tracy had some charm to it. Forget this nightmare. And guess what? Next up I have The Love Guru. Apparently I'm torturing myself with shit films this week. The only cool thing is that I received them both from Netflix on their DVD release date! I should get 88 Minutes in a day or two to round out my trifuckeda (not counting New Nightmare).  Godfather's coming soon at least...

You should all stop buying dvds and check this website out.. I do go there sometimes DE NIRO  I download my music but I always buy my DVDs And when you kids realize a few years from now when the entertainment industries are in shambles and cannot afford real talent because of their lack of income to invest in talent because some cheapass people choose to steal their products... then enjoy your shitty downloads.  Don't wanna buy a DVD? At least rent it. Don't wanna buy a CD? Then at least spend the 99c for a song. Pay the ARTISTS who created it!

I didn't mind Transformers, but I also don't quite recall the actual ending...  I don't mind cheezy movies, if I go into them knowing that.. then it's just fun. And I do have fun w/ bad movies. But some are TOO bad to be good...
