I haven't seen a movie in the theater since Spider Man so here's a rundown on recently seen DVDs. I liked Shallow Hal but I thought it was a bit tame for a Farrelly Bros. film. I'd recommend Orange County. Jack Black ('Hal' in Shallow Hal) was downright hilarious in that film and Colin Hanks (Tom's son) and Schuyler Fisk (Sissy Spacek's daughter) were really good also.
Saw I Am Sam with Sean Penn. I hated it although the little girl who played his daughter was outstanding. Everybody I watched it with loved it. I just couldn't buy Penn as a retarded person. Excellent soundtrack though.
Two surprisingly good films were The Last Castle with Robert Redford and James Gandolfini and Spy Game with Redford and Brad Pitt. Spy Game was the best of the two. It was an extremely intelligent, non-linear suspense thriller. These two films were surprisingly good because I am not a big Redford fan (for obvious reasons) yet he really did some good acting.
Watched The Royal Tenenbaums this evening. It was, well, different. I enjoyed it though (but I have strange tastes).
Beautiful Mind was great. Crowe got robbed by Denzel who should have won years ago for Malcom X but put in a lackluster performance for Training Day.
Gonna watch Hart's War tomorrow. I'm not expecting much from this one.
Best movie I've seen all year on DVD has had to have been Ghost World with Steve Buscemi and Thora Birch. I'd highly recommend this quirky -yet disturbing comedy.
That's all I can think of right now.
