Sorry, it has been so long since either of us has posted. Been busy. Let me start by saying that I have seen a few movies. I don't feel like writing reviews out for them all. Mostly why I haven't posted. I have a back log of movies that I wanted to write reviews for, but never got to it and it sort of snowballed from there.
I am thinking about changing the format of my entries a little too. I find I get pigeonholded into reviews and then get backed up by them. This is a blog however so I may start just giving my thoughts at the time. Reviews are everywhere. I will still provide traditional reviews, but I may also just right on thoughts about movies as well.
Such as: Have you ever noticed how many movies Denzel Washington plays a cop in? Good cop (Fallen), Misunderstood Cop (Virtuosity), Bad Cop (Training Day), Suicidal ex-Cop(Man On Fire), Shady Cop (Out of Time), Bed Ridden Cop (The Bone Collector), etc... It just occurred to me one day, he plays a lot of cops. Just a comment, not bad, not good. I love Denzel and his movies.
So, let me just start (continue) by saying one excellent movie that I have seen lately is Sunshine from Danny Boyle (director of 28 Days Later). It was a fantastic Sci-Fi movie with a 2001 feel. I am trying to remember the last time I like a Sci-Fi movie as much. Aliens comes to mind, but that was twenty freaking years ago. Yeah, I feel it too. As with a good Sci-Fi movie, it leaves you with more questions than answers touching in all areas (life, religion, why, etc). It is definitely work watching.
Well I have covered just about everything except what movies am I into right now. Well I have been getting gearing up for Halloween by watching and getting horror movies. Let me just say I have been stuck in a bit of an 80s slasher flick mood. Recently I have watched Return of the Living Dead, Cheerleader Camp, Maniac Cop, French Sex Murders, C.H.U.D., and Camp Fear to name a few. Also, I have recently acquired more than a few movies in that sub genre that I will be watched this weekend in a movie marathon.
Oh! Oh! Oh! I can't wait. I got a good list to go through this weekend. Sorority Maniacs, April Fools Day, Birthdays, Trains, an early George Clooney, Killer Sheep... ...oh there is all kinds of stuff waiting for me. I am ecstatic and can't wait to spend a campy weekend with horror movies. I will give a full report after the weekend!

Oh, come on: "Sunshine" doesn't hold a cheap plastic flashlight to "Aliens." (Not unless, to paraphrase that much-better film of twenty years ago, IQs have indeed sharply dropped.) And-- oh, no-- are you another one of those people who insists they like "2001"--? The only people who truly liked "2001" were sitting in theatres in 1968 completely bombed on acid. Those of us living less LSD-enhanced lives in the twenty-first century only say we like it to sound cool around our geeky film buddies.
