SAR 26-30

First I'll do some reviews and then I'm going to female dog (what else is new right?)

Everything is illuminated: This movie was put on the list by my mom after hearing about it from somewhere... anyway, I didn't have a clue what it was about or anything and it turned out to be a very good movie. The only actor that I had ever heard of was frodo baggins star Elijah Wood. This movie was about a jewish guy who travels to the Ukraine to find out some info about his grandfather/family. I won't go into much more but it was a great drama with a hint of humor throughout

Shoeless Rating:

When a stranger Calls: It is what it was expected to be. the previews tell you everything you need to know. Is it wrong that I would totally go to jail to bang the chick in this movie if she were underage? man she's hot... she's got some thick pooper eye brows though lol. Anyway nothing spectacular but decent and not boring. Didn't really set up a sequel either so if they don't make anotehr one I'll give it an extra star but if they do... I'll be pissed, and drop it down a level.

Shoeless Rating: and a half (for now)

Blood Diamond: GREAT MOVIE! Leo did a great job, the story was awesome, they didn't really hold back on teh violence or truthfulness about it trying to sugar coat it. Jennifer Connelly is smoking hot (no nekedness though) and the black dude (not even gonna try to spell his name) did a phenominal job! I really enjoyed this movie.

now for the bitching...

A few SARs ago I reviewed The Departed and said how it was an "OK" movie but not best picture worthy...

well in the last couple weeks since, I've tried to watch most of the other nominees (and still have a couple more to watch) and also just watch movies that I thought might be worthy of a nominee instead of The Departed in hoping that the Departed would end up being better than I'm giving credit for but much to my dismay... it has decided to Federline harder and longer than expected...

Here are a list of movies that one could make an argument for for best picture this past year (i'm sure I've left some off but here ya go)

The Departed (winner)
The Queen (nominee)
Little Miss Sunshine (nominee)
Bable (nominee)
Letters from Iwo Jima (nominee)
Flags of our fathers
Everything is Illuminated
Pan's Labrynth
Blood Diamond
The last King of Scotland
Catch A Fire

Now I have not yet seen all 11 of these movies however from what I have seen thus far... The Departed is last on my list... EVERY SINGLE ONE! not one movie or 2 that could be argued over... EVERY MOTHER shagging ONE IS BETTER THAN THAT PIECE OF dookie THAT WON! heck-fire I even liked 2 or 3 other movies that really aren't best picture mentioning worthy more than the defarted

It just goes to show you that Hollywood is just like HS and small towns, its politics that gets you ahead instead of talent or ability... and that's unfortunate.

A scanner Darkly: Keanu Reeves, winona rider, woody harilson and Robert Downey Jr were all in this movie and besides like one commercial I saw 2 years ago i really didn't know this movie exsisted but wanted to see it. It's like a drug trip type movie set in teh future but not like 100 years from now. its is like a cartoon but more like those financial commercials where they actually filmed it but then colored it later in photoshop or something. This was a weird movie but I liked it... def cool and had some boobs (even though they were animated)

Shoeless Rating: and a half

The Persuit of Happyness: Will Smith. Enough said. Does he do a bad movie... ever??? I don't think so. but never the less great flick

Shoeless Rating: and a half

Waiting (unrated): funny movie that they could have made into a chick flick but didn't. lots of funny moments and if you have ever worked in food you'd like it even more. I couldh ave used some more female nudity though... but whatever

Shoeless Rating: and a half

Just Friends: chick flick... no nudity but still kinda funny. I would shag the heck-fire out of anna faris and amy smart too but more so to anna...

Shoeless Rating: and a half (chick flick with no boobs can't get any higher)

Jarhead: decent flick. Jamie Foxx is a good actor and Jake Gillinhal (sp?) is too. I enjoyed this movie b/c it wasn't a typical war movie and from what I've heard from just about everyone who has actually been to Iraq/surrounding areas, the movie was pretty much dead on. It sux that wars still happen but even more so that people are dying and it's for wars like this

Shoeless Rating:

Children of Men: I didn't konw what this movie was about before I watched it and still kinda don't now lol. Not a bad movie but different, i think I must have missed something important when jess and I took a "break" in the middle of the movie b/c I was pretty much lost on why they world changed so much from now until 2027. Decent flick with some interesting scenes also some good camera work but it wasn't anythign that will stick with me down the road...

Shoeless Rating: and a half

Black Christmas: ehh... what can you really expect from a movie called "black christmas"? I mean really. I think I knew going in it wasn't going ot be good so maby that's why I didn't really care when it totally sucked. I guess seeing half an pooper and a sideboob helped out some, but for the most part it was just disturbing and annoying. No good nudity, bad acting, bad plot, bad ending... it guess it just sucked

Shoeless Rating:

Touristas (sp?): also terrible, had to even fastfwd this at times. very few boobs considering they even told you in the previews there were going ot be some and they didn't even last that long. very dissappointing all the way through

Shoeless Rating:

VIDEO GAME: MLB 2k7: I guess I needed a baseball fix and i had a free game rental and they really didn't have anything else. Nothing special, it's a baseball game. Decent graphics some good game play even though I can't get it to do half of what I want sometiems but judging from all other sports games ever... i guess it's not that much of a stretch

Shoeless Rating:

The Break Up: A LOT better than I expected... i mean 100% better than I thought it would be. It was funny and interesting and not as much of a chick flick at all. I think vince vaugn is awesome and histerical and jenn aniston looked good and not too sick/skinny and she even showed some blurry rear end. I enjoyed the movie and esp the ending

Shoeless Rating:

Little Man: hey, what do you really expect out of the wayan's bro's now-a-days? they did white chicks and now this. pretty much what you'd expect from a movie about a 2 foot tall guy who poses as a baby while trying to steal a diamond or something. I laughed a couple times b/c it was really stupid and i like that type of humor but i've already forgotten most of hte movie b/c i instantly became dumber from watching it


Shoeless Rating:

Journey to the end of the night: Brandon Fraiser (the mummy) and mos def are the stars and Mos did a good job but Brandon looked like a 1st time actor in some scenes. It wasn't a bad movie but it def cleared up the reasons why it went straight to DVD. I enjoyed it for hte most part but i wouldn't recommend it to anyone
