Stuck On You - ***1/2 or (7/10) - (Y)

I blind bought MVP last weekend....it's the shit. BUY THAT SHIT. The pitching is awesome, even in 2 player mode. I've noticed no glitch in mine...I hit as many lefty homers as righty ones.

Shrek 2 - ***1/2 or (7/10) - (Y) A much needed fun, good flick to help break the streak of "meh" movies that have come out recently. The beginning stuff in it is by-the-book and not totally funny, but I had a lot of fun with it after Puss In Boots hits the screen.

Run Ronnie Run! - *** or (6/10) - (Y)

...or that woman who plays Helen. They cop-out on that one too....unless my showing was misframed.

..and he just knocked a run in for himself in the top of the 9th.

Not for me....or Beatnik, I believe. By general opinion though, I think it'd be a safe bet.

Torque - * or (2/10) - (N) Jesus Christ, that last chase was awful.

Double-dipping gives me the shits...

Rounders - ***1/2 or (7.5/10) - (Y)

That's another thing I meant to bring up. The movie has no real sense of whether it wants to be mythology or something real. Brad Pitt's character is the prime example of that.

*THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS THAT ANYONE WHO IS IN HIGH SCHOOL PROBABLY KNOWS FROM REQUIRED TEACHING* Sorry about not starting this when I brought it up....I've had problems with getting the board to work on my computer. It took me at least 7-10 minutes to navigate one page here over the weekend. Okay. I hated Troy.....well, not "hated". A little more like "felt like slapping everyone involved". I'll just make a whole list here of small things that tickled me about the flick. This isn't everything, but it's a start for discussion with all you guys that really loved it. ======== 1. I'm gonna come out swinging with the biggest complaint about the movie. There is no clear line telling you who to cheer/jeer etc...and when I say no clear line, I mean no line at all. The only person that is presented as a "good guy" is Hector. Too bad he gets fed to "The Tweener Superman" Brad Pitt. How are we supposed to feel about Achilles anyway? One minute he's a prick, the next he's being nice to a female from the other side.....then he proceeds to kill the only guy you're rooting for at all. He finishes it all up by dying in a "Good Guy Main Character" death sequence(complete with the music). I'll bash his character for now, but I'll be back on him in a while when I talk about the only two scenes I liked in the whole movie. 2. The acting is stiffer than my penis at a strip club. Now that's not the fault of the actors(except for Orlando Bloom, who now rivals Keanu Reeves in coma-inducing acting parts) because of the horrid script. 3. The action scenes aren't that great. Most of the war stuff is a big orgy of mass confusion and chaos. It tried to be LOTR in this department and failed. 4. The Kung Pow close-up sequence that managed to focus in on just about every character introduced in the flick so far that wasn't going to be fighting(complete with music). I'll have to admit that this part in the movie had me laughing for a full 5 minutes. Yes, I got looks from people. There's more.... ======== But I did like a couple things.... 1. Nathan Jones died. 2. The fight between The Hulk and Tyler Durden had some pretty cool little moves in it. Namely the part where one of them dodged a sword strike by lifting his leg up. 3. The scene where the leader of Troy sneaks down to Brad Pitt's tent and requests his son's body was fantastic. So, those are some of my thoughts. As the Human Torch would say....Flame on. *1/2 or (3.5/10)

Killing Me Softly - *1/2 or (3/10) - (N) I wish this movie was just a softcore porn and didn't take itself seriously.

Godsend - *1/2 or (3/10) - (N) Anger Management - **1/2 or (5.5/10) - (N) I'll start a topic on Troy....

I'll wait for you to see Troy, only then will I judge you...

Celebrities shouldn't be able to name their own children. It should be left to a poll of the general public.

I can honestly tell you guys that Pitt isn't good in Troy....(to get even more off-topic)

Troy - *1/2 or (3.5/10) - (N) If you want my opinion on this movie, request it....I don't have the strength to type it right now.

You got qwned. I'll accept cash or check.

You guys obviously haven't seen 12 Monkeys....outside of Fight Club, that's his best.

Even though all his books post-Fight Club have been optioned and/or talked about, I'd like to see Chuck Palahniuk's "Survivor" be made into a movie. Too bad it was stopped by 9/11.

Lost In La Mancha - ***1/2 or (7/10) - (Y) Great for anyone who really wants to see what goes on behind the scenes of film disasters.

My friend was a manager at a game store and he got the hook-up. The bastard just had to move...

I hate you... I was gonna go until someone I know moved.

The Big Lebowski - ****1/2 or (9/10) - (Y)
