Quick Recaps
No time to write full reviews but here are my brief reviews of movies I've seen in the past months.
King Kong - 3.5 of 5. Good movie. A fair amount of action. Naomi Watts is great but looks like a rip off of Nicole Kidman. Don't know why the T-Rexs were trying to eat her as she's just a toothpick to her. Gets a big long. I enjoy Jack Black but am not sure I like him in this role.
Crash - 5 of 5. Wow. This movie was fantastic. I see why it won. I love these types of movies where a bunch of different stories intertwine. I nearly cried at one point. I never want to live in a city like L.A. or be a district attorney. I was completely enthralled for the entirety. Don Cheadle and Brendan Frasier are some of my favorite actors.
She's the Man - 3 of 5. Totally Shakespeare. They even use the same names. Was a fun movie. Entertaining and funny. The man act does get a bit over the top for me but I'm sure women like it. Worth a watch.
Howl's Moving Castle - 4.5 of 5. This was awesome. I was totally captivated. Miyasaki's moving make absolutely no sense throughout but at the end there's a big payoff. But you're still having fun trying to figure out what's going on.
Inherit the Wind - 3 of 5. A replay of the Scope trial from long ago. For those of you not legally minded, that's the evolution in the schools trial. A bit over the top but I love movies like this that challenge your thinking. Roommate was ripping on it for falsifying the actual events. I do believe that's why they change the names. I still like it. Bewarned: it's an older movie in black and white.
Walk the Line - 3 of 5. Another good movie but goes a bit long. I cared nothing about Johnny Cash but love Joaquin Phoenix. I was not let down by him at all or Reese Witherspoon. They were superb. The movie drags at times. Still worth seeing it just has built in snack breaks.
