Below are my movies of
the week:
March 17
Gone
in Sixty Seconds (2000)
(Directed by Dominic Sena) I have yet to see the original version of this film
but I really like the Nic Cage version. It was the first Blu-Ray I ever bought
and was one of the first ones I re-bought after my others were stolen.
The
Greatest Game Ever Played
(Directed by Bill Paxton) I do not play golf other than going out to the
driving range and hitting some golf balls with my dad years ago but I do enjoy
watching it being played on TV or on the big screen. This movie based on a true
story shows a good look at how golf was perceived by people in the early
1900's. Disney knows how to do true story sports themed movies right.
Beverly
Hills Cop (Directed by Martin
Brest) Did someone say Banana in the Tailpipe?
Rollerball
(2002) (Directed by John
McTiernan) I didn't realize how many movies from John McTiernan I was going to
watch but hopefully this is the worst one I watch. I'm not totally sure what I
watched actually.
March 18
Vamp
U (Directed by Matt
Jespersen & Maclain Nelson) Stupid fun Indie film about a vampire who is a
college professor and bites a student who resembles his long lost love and
turns her in to a vampire. She then goes on a killing rampage draining people
left and right while turning her fellow sorority members in to more vampires.
Ghostbusters (Directed by Ivan Reitman) Who You Gonna
Call? I still remember most of the lines years after last seeing it.
Last
Action Hero (Directed by John
McTiernan) What if you got to meet your favorite movie character but they
didn't know they were a movie character?
March 22
Olympus
Has Fallen (Directed by Antoine
Fuqua) Very fun action flick that remined me of the original Die Hard. Solid
plot helped carry the story along during the non-action scenes.
March 23
Rise
of the Guardians (Directed by Peter
Ramsey) I originally saw this last Thanksgiving but thought I would watch it
again and I wish I hadn't. What I originally liked about it in the theater I no
longer found cute. The movie seemed to drag on a bit now.
Man
on the Ledge (Directed by Asger
Leth) Fun popcorn action flick.
Up (Directed by Bob Peterson & Pete Docter)
Pixar at its very best. So many emotions wrapped up in this movie.
John
Dies at the End (Directed by David
Wong) Heard lots of good things about this movie from the internet community
and after watching it I have to question their sanity. The movie was very
confusing as it played out. I think I know what they were going for but in the
end they failed miserably at it.
Varsity
Blues (Directed by Brian
Robbins) In Texas, Football is a way of life. Jon Voight took it a bit too far
though. Hard to believe that this movie is from MTV Films, it is so good.
Red (Directed by Robert Schwentke) Graphic Novel
turned Motion Picture with an All Star cast. Fun to watch over and over again.
