The Dog Problem (2006,  R)
The Dog Problem 3.5 Stars
First of all, I think any movie with Giovanni Ribisi is gonna be good, and this doesn't contradict my thought.

It's funny, quirky, and fun to watch. And even tho I don't have a dog, I can understand the attachment,

Mena Suvari's character is quite iobviously patterned after Nicole Ritchie, in a hilarious way ;)

And don;t forget Don Cheadle is in this (his name is Howard, heheh)

Rent this with a bunch of your friends.

Fast Food Nation (2006,  R)
Fast Food Nation 3.5 Stars
At first I was think *W*T*F*, but I liked this film and I agree with Hugo's comparisons to other films, and also it not being as good as them.

But it still made me think about some things (it'll make me think twice nexct time I eat fast food -- shit in the meat, ew!).

It's quirky and different and worth the watch, especially off cable for free ;)

Haven (2004,  R)
Haven 4.0 Stars
At the beginning I was thinking this film was going to be nothing special; it seemed like a million other mediocre films, but I kept watching, and I'm glad I did.

The film is predictably packaged as, "Look at this movie with Orlando Bloom in it that no one has seen or heard of", but what makes it special isn;t Bloom.

It's the story, and some of the other actors. It's the pacing, and the play with time and scenes.

Great rent or if you can find it to DVR like we did.

The Hawk Is Dying (2006,  Unrated)
The Hawk Is Dying 3.5 Stars
Very much a strange film, but with superb performances from Paul Giamatti and Michelle Williams.

And, thank god, the viewer does finally find out why he is obsessed with hawks ;)

Not for everyone, but well worth it if you're so inclined.

Joshua (Joshua: The Devil's Child) (2007,  R)
Joshua (Joshua: The Devil's Child) 4.5 Stars
Joshua is a Stepford child. You know, his hair is freakishly well coiffed and he's incredibly well mannered and exceptionally gifted...and he's a diabolically crazy little bastard!

Excellently chosen cast in a film that was a lot better than I thought it'd be. Nice touch with Celia Weston.

Yes, it's more than a little Omenesque, but it's more than that. Its total lack of supernatural elements makes it less like the Omen (no mention of Satan, etc).

It's really creepy, and I'm not normally creeped our by these movies.

Maybe a few plot holes, but otherwise a great film.

Man of the Year 2.0 Stars
Lighthearted movie that was noce, but with a strange plot. I really didn;t understand the signifance of some of the plot points, and I thought some of the decisions made were strange considering the audience of the film,

The best bit was the point that Robin Williams' character makes at the end. I have to say tho that the movie is sub par.

The Nines (2007,  R)
The Nines 3.5 Stars
This is kind of like The Number 23 with a little of The Matrix (don't think the fighting bits) and The Sims computer game, but so much better than The Number 23 so don;t get scared off by that comparison.

It's definitely different...in a good way. First the first half hour is seems like it night be a quirky comedy/rom com but then it takes a turn and gets a lot more interesting.

Thankfull Ryan Reynolds takes a step away from his regular work (it's progress) and proves he's at least a bit more than a nice body with comic timing.

Fans of Melissa McCarthy (Gilmore Girls, Samantha Who?) and Hope Davis will like thus as well.

The Perfect Score 2.5 Stars
It's pretty much just like the box says -- Breakfast Club meets Ocean's Eleven. Except crappy versions of both movies.

It's one of those movies that is just MADE for TBS or TNT. Thankfully Chris Evans and Bryan Greenberg have gone on to better things.

For the life of me, I can;t remember ScarJo in this...

OK, I just checked and I never recognized Francesca as Johannson, never would thought it was her!

Scoop 4.0 Stars
Wow, people were all over the map on this one, from some of my friends thinking it was total crap to some loving it.

Yes it was a bit unusual at times for a Woody Allen film and it was quirky even for him, but it seems some people forgot that it was essentially a comedy.

All the elements are there. Not to mention a piceless performance from Allen. Yes, it's not one of my favorites for Johannson, but that's personal preference. The parts I didn;t like about her performance were done on purpose, to extend her character.

Funny and enjoyable, but not engrossing. I believe tho that it delivers what it's meant to.
