They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!
"They cursed us. Murderer they called us. They cursed us. And we wept, Precious, didn't we? We wept to be so alone. And we only lust to catch fish so juicy sweet. And we forgot the taste of bread... the sound of trees... the softness of the wind. We even forgot our own name. My Precious."
Let's see... what movies have I watched recently? You should know at least three of them before I give the list below. LOTR rocks baby! Whenever you truly want to escape from reality, LOTR and Star Wars are highly recommended.
Since it's been over a week since my last post, I'm going to just list what I've watched (in no particular order):
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Lucas (1986)
Internal Affairs (1990)
Napoleon Dynamite (2004)
Twisted (2004)
Troy (2004)
Sky High (2005)
Hook (1991)
Fantastic Four (2005)
Please feel free to comment or e-mail me on any of these. I'm more than willing to discuss different perspectives of movies.
One thing I plan on doing in a future post is a grading scale. I haven't totally decided on whether to just have one overall point system per movie, or to use a few separate categories. It may end up depending on each individual movie. I've found that reviews can sometimes be misleading if you just look at the overall grade. The main thing I look for in a movie is entertainment value, so a high score from critics that is based solely on potential award recognition (or lack thereof) is not always the best way to decide if I'm interesting in watching something or not.
