movies

this list of movies has been on my sidebar for a long time, but i want to clean it up, so i'm archiving them here. these are all the movies i've watched since the beginning of the school year (september), well, pretty much all of them... some of them i forgot to list. i did a short commentary on each, not because i'm any sort of a film critic, but because i don't want to write a post on the intricacies of my past two days when i know i should and i haven't thought about it enough yet to write something. and i think this post will help me remember in the future movies i might want to watch again.

abandon
didn't particularly like this one. it didn't live up to my expectations.

the bourne identity
i wouldn't recommend the bourne identity as a "good" movie, but it wasn't terribly terrible.

minority report
weird. i liked the colour themeing throught the movie. that's all i have to say.

the prince of egypt
the Jesus film
the ten commandments (1953)
from the manger to the cross(1912)
the ten commandments (1923)
and God spoke
romeo and juliet (1996)
romeo and juliet (1968)
watched all of these movies for my film class. i like prince of egypt. i thought it was interesting as well how much prince of egypt is like the ten commandments 1953 version.

my big fat greek wedding
hmm... an okay movie, i guess. i would watch it again. everyone i watched it with had seen it. they said it was fabulous. they hyped me up too much.

28 days
i think 28 days is an awesome movie. i love the way they did the camera work. i like the colour themes used throughout the movie. i think they did a good job of portraying drunkeness.

maid in manhattan
the only movie i saw in a theatre this year. i thought it was pretty good... would have been a much better movie had they not slept together.

about a boy
one of my favourites from the year. i've seen it three times i think. it's a great movie, funny, humourous, yet it still has the capacity to teach us.

never been kissed
saw this one over Christmas break. it's an okay movie. not fabulous though.

sweet november
also saw this one over Christmas break. i would love to watch it again to analyze it more. it's a thinker movie.

serendipity
i like this movie so much i bought it. i like to believe in serendipity... fortunate accidents. i love the music throughout the movie. and today, i just found out that "love in the time of cholera" is actually a real book, i did not know that.

miracle on 34th street
ugggghhhhhh...

it's a wonderful life
double ugggghhhhhhhhhh.....

remember the titans
one of my favourite movies. "what is pain?" "FRENCH BREAD!"

pretty in pink
i get a lot of hits off of search engines from people looking for pictures of duckie. i think that molly ringwald's character should have picked duckie. he was a much more honourable man.

orange county
without a doubt one of my biggest movie watching mistakes. this movie sucks.

reality bites
ahh... i love this movie. i need to watch it again sometime soon.

indian summer
i don't really remember this movie. it's an older one, early 90s i think. joanne loves it.

crazy/beautiful
i think this movie is well made, although i wish the main character would have worn more clothing in the movie. i love the scrapbook she makes.

on the line
the lance bass (n*sync) movie. it's funny. not quality filmmaking however.

kate & leopold
i get teased a lot because i love this movie. i think it rocks. if you think otherwise, kindly keep your comments to yourself.

a walk to remember
i own this movie. i've seen it at lease twelve times. i can quote along with the movie. i'm not sure if i should be telling you that or not.

ghostworld
i only saw a part of this movie, and it's weird.

panic room
the first movie i watched with a few of my roommates. it was a tad scary. a tad gory. not one of my favourites.
