I saw Little Miss Sunshine tonight. The movie is very well done, probably the best movie out there in theatres right now (which honestly isn't saying much with the shit currently playing, but I found it to be a very satisfying film nonetheless). I don't want to say too much about it, but to anyone that likes Alan Arkin, Steve Carell, quirky characters or good scripts, I highly suggest giving this film a view.

It was mostly playing at the independent theatres around here, though one of the larger ones was carrying it at select times.

I went and saw Talladega Nights and World Trade Center today...I thought both were excellent (although completely different types of movies!).

I haven't posted a review up here in a while (and I see nobody else has either)... thought I'd chime in with my latest five movies.

Apocalypto - (Summary included... don't read the navy writing if you don't want the story spoiled)

This man knows how to make a good movie... the best movie that has come out of theatres in a very long time in my opinion.  With an all-star directing/writing team and a cast made up entirely of indigenous people, this genuine movie gets a 10 out of 10 from me. 

It all starts in a little native mexican village located in the mexican rainforest near the great mayan empire.  We follow a young native man, Jaguar Paw, through his daily life as a hunter, a father, and a husband.  All is well until a mayan war party attacks the young mans small village to find sacrificial prisoners and slaves to bring to the great Mayan pyramids.  During the attack Jaguar Paw witnesses the execution of his father.  Children are left behind and the young mans pregnant wife and son become trapped in a deep cave as they hide for safety.  Jaguar Paw, along with many of his comrades, are taken on a journey through the rainforest toward the Mayan empire.  On their long trek they come across a young and sick prophet girl who tells the mayans that they will soon end.  Jaguar Paw and his tribespeople are in astonishment when they see so many slaves, buildings made of stone, and the great pyramids.  The women are sold as slaves and the men are hurded to the top of the tallest pyramid.  Here, one by one, they will be placed on a table, their heart will be removed while still beating, and their head will be chopped off and thrown down the steps.  When it's time for Jaguar Paw to step up he turns to his friend and says, "It's not my time." He walks toward the table and lies down.  Just as he's about to be cut open the sky begins turning dark, an eclipse.  The mayans take this as a sign that their god has had enough blood and has no need for anymore sacrafices.  The remaining tribespeople, Jaguar Paw included, are taken to a long open field with a large corn field at the end.  One mayan man, a young soldier and son of the war party leader, is told to run to the end of the field.  The natives are uncuffed and told they are free.  Two natives are told to begin running toward the corn or they will be killed.  As they reach the half-way point the mayan soldiers begin throwing spears and sending arrows toward the running men.  They will most definately be hit and if they aren't killed from the spear or the arrow the mayan man at the end of the field finishes them with a club.  After witnessing two to four men get killed, Jaguar Paw and his running mate begin their sprint.  They weave back and forth in a helix motion as they dodge the onslaut.  The man with jaguar paw takes one in the back of the head and Jaguar Paw is soon taken down by an arrow to the back.  As the man with the club approaches, Jaguar Paw pulls the arrow from his back and sticks it in the mans neck.  The mayan warriors cheer in victory until they realize what has happened.  The war party leader along with warriors follow Jaguar Paw in his footsteps as Jaguar Paw makes his way back to his trapped wife and son.  Jaguar Paw leads the mayan men over a waterfall and through the rainforest while setting traps along the way.  The mayan men, afraid of the prophecy which told of a jaguar, become frightened and weak.  Once Jaguar Paw reaches his old hunting grounds he takes control and kills, one by one, all but two of the men.  Jaguar Paw, injured and tired, looks like he has given up as he lies on a beach.  As his final two enemies approach they look toward the ocean and watch as a large fleet comes closer to land.  The remaining mayan warriors, stunned by the sight, allow Jaguar Paw to escape and rescue his son and wife who just gave birth to his new child in the the cave.  They then walk off into the rainforest to start a new life.

We get introduced to an ancient and miraculous lifestyle from about 500 years ago.  The actual accuracy has been in question for a while now.  Many historians believe that it's very accurate in almost all aspects but many mayan predecessors believe that the mayans are wrongly portrayed as blood-thirsty savages in Apocalypto.  No matter what the accuracy, this movie was made extremely well and follows a great heroic story.  Keep in mind, it's all subtitles... if it would have been in english, it would have taken from the realism that this movie is best known for.

I give it a 10/10
------------------------------------------
On a side note, I saw Talladega Nights the other night and thought it was absolute shit... if you're expecting Anchorman, 40 Year Old Virgin, or Old school you'll be very disappointed.  Talladega Nights, in my opinion was very very horribly written.  I usually enjoy the stupid funny movies but this one was just plain stupid with no funny.  You get thrown a bunch of crued half-assed humor.

3/10 and I think I'm being quite generous
------------------------------------------
A Night At The Museum was a typical Ben Stiller film... if you like Ben Stiller you'll like this film.  Robin Williams, Owen Wilson, and Steve Coogan all add a nice flare to the film.  A great family movie.

8/10
------------------------------------------
Little Miss Sunshine was a little bit different... it contains funny and sad moments as you follow a dysfunctional family through their trip to a beauty pageant.  It's a simple, low-budget, independant film that surprised me quite a bit.  NOT a childrens movie.

7.5/10
------------------------------------------
You, Me, and Dupree was a film that I enjoyed watching.  Matt Dillon, Owen Wilson, and Kate Hudson all contribute their own qualities to this film to make it pretty good.  An overall good and funny movie.

8/10

I went to se Pans Labyrinth the other week and Casino Royal the other night.

I cannot recomment Pans Labyrinth high enogh - its a beautifully made touching film from a director with a stunning imagination. Its gripping and at times extreamly violent as two worlds collide - that of the battle between franco's army and the rebels and the fantasy world of a little girl that comes alive!

i've probably not decribed it very well but go and see it. now.

as for bond, the best yet. without a doubt cutting some of the stupid one liners and all the daft gadgets was a great move. Daniel Craig makes an excellent bond - rougher, tougher and well more 'lifelike. he gets hurt, alot yet pulls of the slickness of the 'tranditional bond' with his own unique twist. good stuff.

The Illusionist - One of my new all time favorite movies... I won't recap it because that would ruin it... go and rent it, it's amazing.

10/10

Yep, I really enjoyed it, even with some minor un-historical stuff added in.

Last week I saw "Irina Palm". Excellent movie with a serious background but lots of fun moments. If you are in the mood for a non action movie watch it.

I also saw Little Miss Sunshine on DVD recently and I really liked. At all I hoped for a more fun movie and the VW bus scene becomes a bit boring, but at all a good well made movie.

Last but not least I have watched "Trans America" a wonderful and fun movie about transsexuality. The main actress, Felicity Huffman,  well known from the Desperate Housewives, really surprised me and played just great. A must for every movie fan.

In the past week I saw Transformers, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Live Free or Die Hard, Ratatouille, 1408, and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.  I enjoyed all of them.

Oh, I also took my daughter to see Nancy Drew...it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!

I just saw Die Hard 4.0. Since a long time an action movie that I really enjoyed. Almost as much as Die Hard 1.0. John is back!

Just saw "I am Legend" today. It's done very well I thought, with the special effects and the intense scenes. I heard mixed reviews previously, but for my own personal taste I give it a 3.5 out of 5.

Ok. The new star wars. Look down.  May contain spoilers.








































So wtf....  New villain ok. But new big bad villain, son of known force strong individual couldn't handle (1) a damn storm trooper who figured out how to us a light saber. (2)Let alone couldn't deal with a brand new Jedi who didn't even know that they could use the force by the start of the movie. Can we trust this new villain as a good one? I say dead by second movie. Should have been dead by this one in my opinion but the earth split and they were somehow saved. Comments???
