Well, beginning my foray into classic cinema, I started with this film. This film had great chemistry between Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, and Marilyn Monroe. Lemmon was especially great, I'm eager to see him in some dramatic work because I thought he showed real talent in this comedic piece. I was actually very pleased with the camera work in this one. While Wilder chose to just use one long take sometimes for conversation pieces, which I didn't like, the camerawork ultimately was a strong point of the film.
Really good supporting cast as well with George Raft, Joe E. Brown, and a 3rd act cameo by Nehemiah Persoff. Ultimately a very good film, maybe not as funny as advertised, but still well put together.
4/5 Stars [/b] Monroe was so damn hot too.

BloodRayne * 1/2 My first Uwe Boll movie and now I know why suspect_5 likes him so much. In his opinion, "his movies are so bad they're good." That should be a pretty good indication about this movie. The fight scenes were terrible with too much blood-splatter (how often do you hear me saying that). I'm also curious how they assembled the cast that they did: Kristanna Loken, Michael Madsen, Michelle Rodriguez, and Sir Ben Kingsley. The DaVinci Code ** 1/2 I don't think it was as bad as some have made it out to be but it is kinda long and boring in parts. However, Paul Bettany and Ian McKellen really stole the show. Not Opie's best work, but I still like him

Saw - (James Wan;2004;USA) Two men awake in a bathroom with a corpse to find they must play a psychopath's game to survive.While there are some things I liked about this movie, there were many I didn't like. It's slightly different then the average horror/thriller film, but not without it's cliches. Almost everything in this film has been done before. Hell, some of the sets looked recycled from Seven. It's somewhat entertaining, but ridiculously overrated. Not to mention I hated some of the editing, specifically when Glover and the other man are driving in their cars.

Mission Impossible 3
This movie wasnt as bad as i expected. there are some great action scenes like the one on the bridge but the storyline is very shaky. i also believe they shouldve shown more of Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but when he was in the film he was great as a bad guy
overall rating: 3/5

THE BOONDOCK SAINTS - ** Wildly popular cult movie made in the aftermath of the Quentin Tarantino/Kevin Smith pop culture-era that is a fucking mess. Is this a comic book-ish vigilante action movie? A campy silly flick? A Irish nationalism masturbation porno? This film tried to be a PUNISHER-comics in terms of enjoyment, two brothers killing bad people for the Lord and that shit, which is fine. However, then writer/director Troy Duffy wanted to make it part of the post-modernistic movement of the 1990s.....but because he tried to make a fusion flick, but with two incompatable narratives, the film fails because...what does it want to be? As for Dafoe, well he does give his best, I'll give Irishman that. Hell, the only scene I laughed was when he bitchslapped that dude in bed for trying to cuddle with him. One shot I did like, though too bad Duffy didn't put much thought like this throughout the movie, was near the end, with the boys smuggling the guns into the courthouse. Notice that Duffy hasn't made a movie since SAINTS...but that is another story!

FULL METAL JACKET (1987) - *****
Kubrick dished out another masterpiece, this time with the war genre, in a film with a brilliant 1st half, where ordinary men are trained to be killing machines until one does break down, and an even MORE spectacular 2nd half, where funny enough, for a conflict of Vietnam that we usually envision fights in jungles, it takes place in a sterile urban environment.
So much I loved about this movie, but one would be how for once, the shooting of guns isn't like some video game, where you point and BANG. No, you can see the bullets hit all over the vicinity of the target, which really you don't see much in movies. Nevermind the movie's great black humor, which unlike Kubrick's DR. STRANGELOVE, isn't really on the surface, but instead it, lurking around, only giving rare glimpses of it to people who happen to catch a glance of it. Really the Big Foot of the movie.
