Man of the Year

The Robin Williams movie, where he become the President of the US. Very amusing, and fun. Lotsa laughs, Robin is very funny, and it's hard not to love the rest of the casting.

Story wasn't highly plausible, but was entertained enough to barely notice. Way more sex than i'd ever expect to see in a PG movie.

I'm giving this a 7.5/10.

Stranger Than Fiction

Watched this tonite, been meaning to rent it for a while (somehow downloaded 'Pursuit of Happyness', thinking it was the same film, and it was AWFUL.)

I was very happy with STF - Wil Farrell was brilliant, as were the rest of the characters. Interesting and compelling story, i love quirky ideas like this, either in print or in movies. It really reminded me of Kurt Vonnegut for some reason...maybe it was the 'talking' watch.


I'd give it an 8/10, definitely worth watching.

The Fountain

Hiya - i'm now going to use this blog to review movies as well! I often forget what i thought of a movie, so hopefully if i blog it, i can use this as part of my brain instead..haha..

So first up - watched The Fountain on Saturday night. It seemed highly rated, and the story seemed interesting, so i rented it.

I found it a bit pretentious, and too 'artsy' for its own good...some neat concepts, but went overboard on it all, flashing up the screen, which seemed to take away from it all.

Overall, i'd give it a 6/10..had the story been a bit more compelling, it'd get considerably more marks, but otherwise it's kind of a 'okay, nothing better to rent' sorta thing, imo. =)
