I already saw Confessions of a Dangerous Mind earlier this week and I was very suprised at how well it was filmed. George Clooney I think may have a knack for directing, although I have a feeling he is trying to put a little twist on Soderberg's style. The movie captivated me, and I'm still wondering. Was Chuck Barris really a CIA assasian? Well most likely no, but still a great story none the less. Go see it.

While I am a movie junkie, it doesn't mean I'll go see just anything. Like I refuse to go see movies in which I feel my intelligence will be lowered . Take Kangaroo Jack, why on earth would anyone want to see that? I got offered a free ticket to it, but didn't go cause it would be a waste of an hour and a half. Another movie I'm refusing to go see is the new movie Biker Boyz. Any movie that uses a z instead of a s in the title is not the movie for me.

So which do you prefer, intelligent movies (Adaptation, The Hours, 25th Hours, etc.) or mindless crap (Kangaroo Jack, Biker Boyz, The Hot Chick, etc.)?

Ohh and I usually rent about 6 movies a week too. Told ya I'm addicted.

Regarding the entirety of the gamut between these, it depends. I like SOME drama, SOME suspense, SOME comedies, and so on.

Example: I love anything with Jim Carey, because he is simply hysterical. I do NOT like Austin Powers, and so have never seen those movies and never will.

Depends, again, on the subject matter and who's in it. I guess that in any other genre than sci-fi, adventure, and science, my interest just subject/actor dependent.

I used to go to a movie a week. Now I either rent them, or buy them if I know I'll watch them over and over.

As soon as I get a chance I'm gonna go see Catch Me If You Can and Gangs of New York, both looked really good.

--------------------

But I don't realloy have a preference - Fantasy of course but otehr than that it depends on my mood - I don't do gorry horror though - i can handle the old 50-60s monster movies but thats about it....

In fact that was one of the movies I rented this week. Along with Taxi Driver, which is a great movie, although almost all that Scorcese does is really good. As foul-mouthed as it is, most of his movies are very grounded in reality, its the hard life of the underworld of our country.

One thing if you see Gangs of New York, don't expect a pretty portrayal of old New York like in some other movies you may have seen. Scorcese shows it like it was, a slum of many different people, many of which were poor and sometimes even killed so that they could survive. This movie will jolt you with its scenes of the draft riots. It was definitly worth the 20 some odd year wait.

I don't know what movies to go see this week...maybe I'll go see some more films at some of the art film houses. I'd rather not waste my time with Shanghi Knights this Friday. Buddy movies are so overplayed...I think I'll barf if I see Owen Wilson try another one, and Jackie Chan needs to learn how to speak English better!

Uhh...yea...a sidenote. I think I'm getting my computer tonight, so I should be back online at my house tonight, and think I may also be getting DSL next month sometime. I need it for XBOX Live.

Another obscure one which is AWESOME is "Albino Alligator." NO it is NOT about white reptiles, heh. It is a good movie about some robber/murderers who take refuge in a bar and what happens....

I highly recommend it, but it's hard to find.
