I liked the movie about the spelling bee. haha. i mean im not the perfect speller but im at least in the same neighborhood of how the words are really spelled.
Especially when the year’s “powerhouses” are not released until near the end of the year. You know, closer to Oscar that way.
I’m betting on LoTR: The Return of the King as the BEST. Seabiscuit has ONE great performance from Jeff Bridges (Oscar Caliber). Pirates was fun, but not better than Finding Nemo. Matrix: Reloaded was instantly forgettable. T3 and S.W.A.T.? Uh, neither would fall in “Best of the Year” category either.
This is summer. Where light, brain-dead entertainment is the tone of movies; but there are some that provide more. “Swimming Pool” is excellent. Another one is “Whale Rider”. Not all movies are filled with useless CGI and loud, uninvolving sounds; but some actually have a story and characters we care about.
28 Days Later is the best of the year, let alone best horror movie.
Although it’s hard to say without having seen them all–I really don’t want to see Matrix: Reloaded.
Not sure about the date: The Ring =0) (Absolutely no link with the trilogy).
In a class of its own.
Brain Teaser of the year so far: Matrix Reloaded (and that Architect Guy`s revelations).
Best comedy so far: American Wedding.
Lamest movie so far: Daredevil (though Charlie`s Angels is not far behind, entertaining, yes, landmark (except Demi Moore, no), and Hulk almost as near.
Man, I just saw LOTR: fellowship last night on STARZ. I seriously can’t wait until December. I’m going to be one of the first people to watch it at the midnight shows.
Matrix Revolutions better be better than Reloaded.
I think X-Men 2 was a good one to bring up, I was very impressed with it.
However I am a T3 fan, I thought that they finally came up with the perfect action flick. Now dont get me wrong I am a film student and appreciate good film, or at least try to.
But anyone with balls can appreciate what T3 was. It was fast paced, any plot that didnt involve action was quick, to the point and shallow, all good things for action.
The action was amazing, never have I seen so many things blow up and rarely did I notice the mix between cgi and real life as a bad thing. The fight scenes were fast powerful and most importantly entertaining, not boring like the Matrix.
It was fast, it was loud, shit blew up. What more do you want?
Oh and one last reason, Arny is what? 55? Older? But still looks like one bad ass Terminator.
