Observations and Movie Reviews

Posted on Wednesday 7 July 2004

Ok so before I do movie reviews, I think I have to relay some observations on the people around me right now in the library.

- to my direct right is the guy who spends copius amounts of time here, the guy with the ratty t-shirtsm the giant belly and the overall creepy-ness.
- to my right is this kid (though he may be already graduated) with really wrinkly hands who always wears a shirt that most middle aged men wear golfing, he walks funny too.
- I look over the divider behind the moniter to the top half of some random guys face whose eyes are open so big that it looks like he is constantly in a tense scene of a scary movie.

Movie Reviews

Kill Bill Vol 1
This movie kept my attention very well and left me dying to see Vol. 2. The fighting is great (especially the fight with Vivica  A. Fox) it mixes many genres of film to end up with an original film colored with expletives that is a very violent and very bloody mix of action, heart, good plot and suspense.
3 3/4th stars out of 5

Cold Mountain
The fact that Jude Law and Nicole Kidman played the lead’s in a story set in the south during the Civil War really bugged me. I love Jude Law and don’t really care for Nicole Kidman but the fact is that they have accents, british, and Australian. I agree that Renee Zellwegger did an awesome job, but this movie didn’t do it for me… The love between the two main characters didn’t mean crap to me because it wasn’t reinforced early on…so if they ended up together in the end the audience didn’t care… the acting is ok, the story is ok..all together this movie is a “meh” in the world of film.
