Movie reviews

Posted on2 Comments

I caught a couple of 2007 movies on cable this week. Here are my quick and dirty reviews.

Vacancy – Started off a little slow but ultimately much better than I had anticipated considering Luke Wilson seems to be the kiss of death for most movies (except Old School which rocks).

Next – Another pleasant surprise that even sucked Joe in. I’m not a big Nicholas Cage fan but he’s definitely a good actor. I couldn’t even imagine seeing two minutes into the future. That would totally fuck with the present, don’t you think?

Lucky You – Terribly boring; even Drew Barrymore couldn’t make this enjoyable. I can’t see anyone but a hardcore poker player enjoying this movie as most of it was just people playing poker. *Yawn*. There was a two-second shot of Antonio Esfandiari in it, though. That was the highlight, actually. Phil Laak wasn’t in it. And no, I don’t know either of them from watching the World Poker Tour; I just like their show, I Bet You.

There used to be a Showtime original series called Dead Like Me which I loved. Unfortunately, it got cut down in it’s prime. I found out there’s going to be a movie and most of the original cast is in it! I’m really looking forward to it because even George’s sister, Reggie, is coming back. Check out the trailer here.

Friends of the Five Day Weekend believe workers waste much of their day, and if motivated by more time off, could get more accomplished in half the time. I can see that to a certain degree but I don’t think it applies to everyone. For instance, I’m a fast and efficient employee, yet I can never get caught up because my workload is ridiculous! I love the idea of this movement, however. Hell, I’d be happy with a four day weekend. Working for the weekends suck.

This post was brought to you by my faster computer thanks to the 1 GB of memory my husband bought me today. I might not smash it into pieces now.

If you like Scrubs, you have to check out Rate Your Doc. I particularly enjoyed J.D.’s profile so I voted for him.

I must have this ornament! I caught the last ten minutes of the original Rudolph awhile back and I couldn’t help but wonder why they decided that when his nose would light up it should make an awful screeching noise at the same time.

Sorry, that’s all I got this week. I’m sleepy!
