This is my little corner of the Internet that I will use to complain about things, or just tell people about things I like. If something makes me mad, you'll hear about it, but if something makes me happy-you'll hear about that also. So please,enjoy my ramblings.

Netflix update!!!

As usual, I have been slow as shit in updating my Netflix viewings. So here is an update of everything I have watched over the last couple of months.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy-I really enjoyed this movie. Mos Def cracked me up, as did Sam Rockwell. Martin Freeman was also a great lead and I hope he gets more leads. This was a fun movie that was very entertaining.

The Blair Witch Project-I hadn't seen this movie in about 7 years and I have to say that it has aged quite well. Still scared the hell out of me and that's what you hope for. I enjoyed it.

Fire in the Sky-BORING!!!

Demon Seed-this movie cracked me up. It was so ridiculous-just the idea of a computer intellingence wanting to, and then actually impregnating a woman is off the wall. I was entertained though, so it did it's job.

Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key
This was a fun little Italian horror movie. It never got as intense as I would have liked it to get, but it was entertaining. I should really stop using the word entertaining to describe every movie, so we'll see how we do with the next one.

Eraserhead-This movie is not in the least bit entertaining. It is slow, it is boring, but you can't take your eyes off of it. David Lynch has crafted himself a beautifully disturbing movie. I have no desire to ever see it again, but I am glad that I finally got around to watching it.

Schizolopis-this movie was weirder than all hell. I wish I had what it took to finish it, but on the particular day I started it, I just didn't have it in me. Maybe I'll watch it all the way through one day.

War of the Worlds-This was a lot better than I expected it to be. Tom Cruise was unlikeable and it was pretty unrelenting in the action. The effects were great and the suspense was intense. It would have been nothing without Spielberg and Cruise, so good thing they were involved.

Living in Oblivion-I loved this movie. Steve Buscemi is great. A funny movie about the making of what looks to be a terrible indie film. Kudos to all involved.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre-this was my second time through the original and I enjoyed it. It's not so much scary as it is just terrifyingly intense and brutal. Once Leatherface starts going, you never get a chance to breathe. This movie holds up extremely well to this day and is still better than 90% of the crappy horror movies out today.

The Specials-this movie was pretty funny. It could have been better, but it was good. I was surprised to laugh at everything Jaime Kennedy said-but it helped that everything he said was generally pretty filthy. While not as good as Mystery Men, which holds a huge place in my heart, it is still a good, silly superhero movie.

Liberty Heights-I was quite impressed with this movie. Ben Foster does a great job as the lead in this quirky coming of age tale set during the 1950's. I loved the James Brown concert scene.

The Ice Storm-I was expecting a lot from this movie. I liked it, but everything I had heard about it made it seem like it was going to be a life changing experience. But any movie with David Krumholtz is automatically going to win by respect.

Unleashed-just finished watching this and I loved it. Great action, great heart, and one crazy ass Bob Hoskins all add up to a great movie. Hooray!!!

That's all I got for now. See you next time!
