The Simpsons Movie (2007)

Updated Jul 30, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Somehow I didn't mind paying $10 to see an extra long episode of The Simpsons at the movie theater and I hardly even watch the show on TV. The Simpsons Movie was good, lighthearted fun from beginning to end and at no point did I find myself getting bored.

My 10 year old son really enjoyed Night at the Museum and I didn't find it painful to watch.

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Updated Jun 18, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

If you're a super hero movie addict (I'm not) you'll probably have to see Spider-Man 3. If you liked the first two Spider-Man movies (I almost did) you'll enjoy this one too. Spider-Man 3 has some fascinating new special effects with sand and the action sequences are dizzying, but the flat characters and yawn/frown worthy plot left me shaking my head.

300

Updated Apr 9, 2007

3 people recommended this item

Description

If you didn't like "Sin City" you probably won't like "300". If you did like "Sin City", you might like "300". This movie is definitely worth watching just for the special effects and visual presentation of the landscape, but you have to be willing to accept over-the-top dialog for what it is.

Toys (1992)

Updated Apr 9, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Toys is another of one of those movies that I can watch repeatedly but which I have a hard time finding anybody else who liked it at all. I find toys beautifully uplifting and briefly disturbing and the visuals and music are so (over the top) pure I can't help smiling. Most of the movie would be wonderful for young kids, but there are a couple scenes to give them nightmares so I don't recommend it. Don't expect a deep movie, but do watch it on a large screen TV.

The Fifth Element

Updated Mar 23, 2007

2 people recommended this item

Description

I think this is probably a bad movie, but I can't look away when it's on. The only thing I really hate is that annoying character (you'll figure out who I mean quickly enough). For some reason whenever I see the title of this movie I mutter "mul-ti-pass".

Cadence (1991)

Updated Mar 16, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

There's just something about the simple, slow pace of this movie that draws me in. I must have seen it a dozen times or more. For some reason I can't explain, the performance of "End of My Journey" in the middle of the movie moves me so much I get tears in my eyes every time.

Babel (2006)

Updated Jan 29, 2007

1st to recommend

Description

Are they really coming out with better movies lately or are my standards just slipping? Babel drew me in completely, not letting go until the final scene. It did an excellent job of not letting me feel lost, and at the same time kept me wondering how events were related and sitting on the edge of my seat wanting to know what was going to happen next. Like several of the movies I have loved recently, Babel portrays realistic human experience without a standard Hollywood plot line. Another one of the best movies of the year and we are only at the end of January.

Children of Men (2006)

Updated Apr 19, 2007

Description

The Children of Men should compete with The Departed for best film of 2006. Incredibly well directed, shot, produced, acted, and on and on. Very human, very real.

The Good Shepherd (2006)

Updated Jan 8, 2007

3 people recommended this item

Description

First Syriana and now The Good Shepherd. I feel there is a trend in well-made movies that are trying to make me feel historically uneducated. Though I probably missed half of what was really going on in this movie, I can still recommend it as one where you will enjoy how each scene is put together (even if I had a lot of trouble putting the scenes together into a storyline). Another movie I'll have to watch again. It's a plot, I tell you.

The premise: A US civil war battleship got lost in the middle of the African Sahara desert. Knowing that alone ought to set your expectations low enough to enjoy this action flick.

The Trigger Effect (1996)

Description

A very believable representation of how people might respond to something as simple and scary as losing electricity (and radio, and TV, and ...). One of my favorite studies of civilization falling apart.

The Day After (1983)

Updated Dec 1, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

The scene in this movie where people watch from rural Kansas as nuclear missiles blast off toward the Sovient Union gave me chills. I remembered this scene when I looked out my office window last month and saw a similar smoke trail blasting out over the ocean. I had a scary five minutes while I searched on Google and found that it was a scheduled rocket launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

Updated Dec 1, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

There are so many things wrong with this movie I don't know where to start. I almost fell out of my chair from writhing in science-fact anguish when the group of teens were outrunning deadly cold that was freezing everything in their wake but they were rescued by slamming the door behind them. But, if you have to watch end of the world movies, this is one of them, and that's about all it has going for it.

Deep Impact doesn't really work as a whole movie but there are a few scenes where humans deal with facing the end of the world. The big wave special effect is worth watching, too.

The Age of Innocence (1993)

Updated Dec 4, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

This is my favorite period piece for whatever era this takes place in. Ok, perhaps it's the only one I've ever even bothered to take the time to see, but Age of Innocence has ended up as one of my favorite movies. I think what draws me the most is the incredible visuals, the depth of colors, and the richness of details. My favorite scene is when the camera pans over the long dining table set with an incredible array of dinnerware and food. I can't put my finger on why, but it moves me. I think I'm drawn to long, slow movies where not much happens.

28 Days Later (2003)

Updated Feb 12, 2007

1st to recommend

6 people recommended this item

Description

I do not tend to think of myself as a fan of the horror movie genre, much less of the zombie subgenre. However, I really enjoyed 28 Days Later. It's probably because I am very much a fan of the "last humans alive at the end of the world" features and this film did an excellent job of portraying one of these scenarios.

It's the end of the world as we know it (Movies)
Updated Jan 6, 2007
I am a big fan of movies that show how people might deal with end of the world scenarios where civilization is falling apart or is about to come to an end. I've always had a fascination with what the last person or group of people in the world might do.
