Shoeless Access Reviews (SAR) 16-20 (oscar special)

Accepted: I enjoyed this movie. it was funnier than I had expected and the plot was very unrealistic but i like that they just didn't care and went with it to the extreme. The characters were pretty good and they didn't dwell on the "love story" part of the movie and instead kept it just fun and stupid.

Shoeless Rating: (no boobs)

The Gathering: Christina Ricci is HOT! too bad she didn't get naked haha. Oh well... decent movie, different plot but that's fine with me. I hadn't heard of this movie before renting it so i didn't really have any expectations but it's not really a horror movie as listed.

Shoeless Rating: and a half

Ant Bully: decent cartoon flick. they do a good job now-a-days of making the jokes funny for adults and kids. But the highlight of hte flick by far was Bruce Campell being a voice of one of the ants. Bruce Campell is the best character actor ever and if you disagree you can

Shoeless rating: and a half b/c of Bruce!

School for Scondrals (sp?): Decent flick. I don't really care much for Billy Bob or John Heder but they did a decent job and i was fairly interested the whole time. However, for it to be an "unrated" movie I was left scratching my head going ... what the heck-fire did they need to rate? I LOLed about 2 times and so that's my rating.

Shoeless Rating:

Rumor has it: So i am doing this plan so the dvds go to my mom's house (mainly b/c i don't get mail in a timely manner here at my apts and it's a way for her to get to see some movies too for cheap)

so anyway the downside ot this sometimes is that sometimes she gets to put movies on the list that I don't care about... this is one of those times. Usually it'll be something stupid and I'll just watch ti b/c I'll watch almost anything.... not this one though

Shoeless RAting: chick flick unratable!

So as a fair trade off for not watching that crap movie i got American Pie (naked mile): besides the fact that it had boobs (and mostly real ones) all the way through this movie was terrible! I litterally ffwded it through most of it until I saw boobs.

Shoeless rating: b/c like boobs it should come in a pair

FlightPlan: decent flick but nothing that intense or really on the edge or your seat type thing. I figured out 99% of hte movie before it was 5 mins in. I liked it but not really enough to see it again or recommend it to anyone

Shoeless Rating:

The Covenant: bad acting. Stupid plot. Man pooper and no boobs. If they made it rated R and threw in an orgy with only hot girls and me it'd be better but otherwise

Shoeless Rating:

Flags of our Father: Clint Eastwood is a good director. I like a lot of WWII films and this one was another good one. I thought the action was good and the story was well told. I'm going to get the letters to iwo gima (sp?) movie when it comes out too (also directed by clint). All in all a good movie.

Ok So I just happen to have rented The Departed before the oscars and it ended up winning but let me say what I thought about it.

The Departed: First of all I had heard that this film had a scene where Jack does a line of cocaine off some naked chick's pooper and when the scene came in the movie it was cut. Now I'm not sure if i just got a bad version of the movie but I know i didn't get the clean version b/c the rest of it was filled with cussing and violence. So that took my opinion of hte movie down a little bit but I digress... was this movie good? yes. was it great? no. Was it oscar worthy? DEF NOT! I mean this goes back to last year when crash won. It was a great movie but the reason it won was b/c most of hte people in the movie were voters for hte oscars same can be said about the departed... HELLO?!@?! jack, leo, damon, marky mark, directed by scorsezy etc etc etc... The problem I have with the movie was that it wasn't really that original. It reminded me of a boston godfather with less plot and more violence with less emotion and more ignornant cussing. I did like the ending b/c it basically ruined the chances of any sequels but now that I know it won best picture my opinion of the oscars (and this movie) continues to fall.

I also saw a few more movies this weekend:

Cars: decent flick even though I didn't like owen wilson as a voice i LOLed a few times and thought this was a decent flick. I think it was a little too long at 116 mins though and thought it dragged at times thus dropping the rating for me a little

Shoeless rating:

SPECIAL IN THEATRE REVIEW: Reno 911, Miami: Terrible movie. not worth any amount of money you'd want to pay to see it. But there were some boobs but it didn't really outweigh the rest of the suckiness!

Shoeless review:

Momento: remember the Seinfeld episode where they went in reverse? well this was the movie that did the same thing. It wasn't a bad movie but it just dragged and dragged and dragged so i started ffwding it about half way through and would stop during the dialogue scenes then ffwd the rest. I don't think i missed anythign b/c it was pretty easy to follow since I already knew what happened next/before. anyway it wasn't a bad movie but anything i have to ffwd through and with no boobs gets a bad rating

Shoeless Rating: and a half

Idiocracy: i liked this movie more than I expected. Very stupid humor and a good take on something people aren't really talking about with the future. I like Mike Judge (creator of bevis and butthead and king of the hill) so if you like either of those shows you'll prob like this too even though its nothing of the sort. I LOLed quite a few times in this one and would watch it again

Shoeless Rating:

Tenacious D, The Pick of Destiny: This was a decent movie but it wasn't really that new. I don't konw if anyone has seen it before but Jack Black and Kyle Gass had a show on HBO or Showtime about 5 years ago that was pretty similar to this movie. The mmovie had more of a plot but the shows were funnier. The songs in the movie weren't really all that new either, they were kind of a spin on the stuff they already have. Maybe i expected more from them but it just wasn't as good as it could have been considering The D is an awesome band they are awesomely funny in everything they've done up to now.

Shoeless Rating:

Babel: very good movie. Much better than The Departed. A better story, weirder and not as main stream. Brad Pitt is AN AWESOME ACTOR and doesn't get nearly as much credit for his acting as he should b/c of his looks. One way I look at how good a movie is i take out all the actors that I know and ask myself "how good of a movie be with nobodys playing hte smae part" this movie was pretty much nobodies to begin with (minus Brad and the one girl whose name escapes me right now).... it's unfortunate that this movie was snubbed at the oscars and the departed won b/c this was a better movie for writing, story, and acting... maybe I'm just going to keep being mad b/c the departed won but it's movies like this and little miss sunshine that make movies and the academy worth a doggone and winners like "who farted" make it crap.

Flyboys: very very good movie. One of the best I've seen in a while and i really didn't think I wanted to see this one previously. Very good story, special effects and subplots. It was based on a true story and they didn't "hollywood" it up too much and make it all happy and Doogie. It was well told and made you really appreciate something that really isn't talked about much anymore. I enjoyed this movie (also it was better than the departed lol)
