No Time for Love, Dr. Jones!
The Good Girl was pretty interesting. This is definitely the best acting that Jennifer Aniston has ever done. I was disappointed with Jake Gyllenhaal, who basically played his character from Donnie Darko, only one-dimensional. Zooey Deschanel cracked me up in her supporting role. I gave it 3 stars on Netflix.
Matrix: Revolutions was simply terrible. The fighting was overblown and boring at this point. The story could have been covered in about 15 minutes. When Trinity was dying, I just wanted to scream "Just die already!" at the television. I believe April said afterwards that the original movie was tarnished because this movie sucked so bad. I'm on board with that statement. I gave it 2 stars on Netflix.
I thought I would like Adaptation. I had to defend Nicholas Cage against Scott's vehement attacks on Cage's acting (I claimed that The Rock and Gone in 60 Seconds were good Cage movies, he claimed those movies were about Connery and cars, respectively). It turns out my defense would have been better spent elsewhere. I really disliked this movie. Cage's Kauffman made neurosis completely unfunny, and then having to tolerate Cage playing Kauffman's dopey brother was even worse. At least Tilda Swinton and Maggie Gyllenhaal were good. I gave Adaptation 2 stars.
Napoleon Dynamite. It's hard to talk about this movie. It was funny. Awkward. Bizarre. Witty. Uncomfortable. Very good. I gave it 4 stars. Gosh!
Kung Fu Hustle was pretty impressive. The fighting was as good as you would expect, with the addition of pretty good effects. Surprisingly, the story managed to be more than just an excuse for fighting. It was enough to hold the movie together. I gave Kung Fu Hustle 4 stars.
It only took me 13 years to see A Few Good Men. It's surprisingly not dated, except for the hair styles of both Cruise and Moore. I was genuinely interested in the fate of the two accused, and there were enough twists to make it less predictable. I gave it 4 stars.
