Weekend Movies

by Miguel de Icaza

Am pondering which movie we could go see tonight, here are some of the reviews of what lies ahead:

"This monster film makes even the remake of Godzilla look good."

"The only winners in Dragon Wars are the computer-imaging geeks who must have logged tons of overtime. The rest of the world is left scratching its head at a monster epic so dismal that it doesn’t even register as a guilty pleasure."

"...wants to position itself as a first-date movie, but it's a first-date movie for those who don't believe in second ones."

"How hard could it be to make a clever parody of Snow White? Very hard, apparently." and "Sydney White has a concept and a title, but beyond that it draws a blank."

"There's more genuine humor to be gleaned from saying 'Woodcock' over and over again than from watching Mr. Woodcock."

"Less a brave movie than a foolhardy one. Trapped in a no man's land between seriousness and pulp trash, it plays like a combination of Death Wish and The Hours. If that sounds like an awkward fit, it is."

"It wants to be a moody, dark exploration of pain and revenge (the same feelings I experienced during and after the movie)."

Sounds like its another weekend of skipping the movies.

Am stuck in Megatron 3 (or Meganoid? Its some kind of Mega) on the Wii, there is some dude that I cant kill. I think its time to hire a professional through Craig's List, get them to come home, kill the dude and move on with the game.
