Review: 40 Days and 40 Nights

The creators of 40 Days and 40 Nights have turned San Francisco into a complete idiot's utopia where all the girls are easy and stupid, and all the guys are stupid and horny. It seems to be a pretty good arrangement for the citizens seeing as though their loins rule them all.

Despite any vain attempts you make to enter a film that you already know at least a little bit about with no prior expectations, inevitably there will be a preconception that will alter how the film affects you, and consequentially how much you enjoy the film.
I'm sure Meg Ryan is a really nice person. Okay, there's my disclaimer, now onto my review. A Meg Ryan movie about time travel... a Meg Ryan movie about time travel... a Meg Ryan movie about time travel.
Review: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

I have trouble with movies that are three hours long - the Skittles never make it to the end, and unless you get the jumbo drink for eleven dollars, you get thirsty. Having said that, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was time well spent. The movie keeps moving, with only one or two slow parts.

By all accounts the first film installment of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a cinematic success.

One would think that in preparation to write a review for one of the biggest movies opening this year, one would have prepared a little. Perhaps one would have read the book that said movie is based upon. Or, given that there wasn't enough time to read the book, one may have done a little research to make up for one's ignorance on the subject.
If you are having "one of those days" - a day when you have 5 essays due, your significant other has told you they "want more space", you were stuck in traffic for 45 minutes because of a train, and by the time you get home you have missed your favourite show - do yourself a favour and go see Amélie.
There once lived a beautiful young woman who, despite her apparent beauty, probably did not consider herself beautiful at all. The young woman lived in a very large and old city, and despite being surrounded by people all the time, was quite shy and lonely.
Review: Thirteen Ghosts

If even one hundredth of the effort that was given to special effects was given to character development in Thirteen Ghosts, director Steve Beck could have really had something here. This is a rare example of a movie that gets into its story too quickly. We have barely been introduced to the characters when they are thrust into a fight for their lives.
You know those movies where you go in expecting the worst, but it turns out to be a masterpiece, and you enjoy it even more because you thought it would be bad? That is truly a great experience.
