Another fascinating thing I learned today (and I might be the last person on earth to realize this, so please don't make fun) is that Mitch Hedberg is in Almost Famous. Weird.

baby's momma has net flix so daddy's been watching a lot of films with the fam. here's some recent viewings:
Swingers
Still one of the coolest, funniest movies ever. And hands down the most quotable thing since Caddyshack. - (10/10)
Gothika
Halle Berry works with crazy people and then, get this, she goes nuts! Is it real, is it fake, is it a dream, or is it just some bad camera trickery that isn't so much scary as it is just annoying? All of this over top a weak story and plot. Snore. - (4/10)
Cold Mountain
Turns out the Civil War was totally fucked up and Renee Zellweger makes a great slave. I don't know how you stumble across a lonely and needy Natalie Portman on the open range, though. - (6/10)
The Godfather
This is a movie about the American mafia families of the Cosa Nostra, which is, of course, one of the most fascinating topics ever and one that should be consistently glorified and re-examined, although no one will ever beat Coppola's masterpiece. - (10/10)
You Got Served
Quite possibly the worst movie ever made. Was hoping it would be cool in that "so-bad-its-good" sort of way, but turns out its just horrible. When Steve Harvey is the most talented and experienced actor in your cast you know you're in trouble. Watching it did give me a better appreciation for the South Park episode that parodied it, which is the only reason it gets a (2/10).

Regarding Mitch: He was the Eagles' road manager...apparently with a non-speaking part. Would be interesting to re-watch movie to look for him.
In other news, I watched Butterfly Effect. Now this happened mostly because it was rented by someone else and it was a Monday night, so I figured what the hell? Turns out I loved it, and it was WAY better than expected.
Has anyone else watched it, and what do you think?

I have seen The Butterfly Effect. I do like movies with alternate realities and such.
Was at the least interesting. A little overly melodramatic at times. Would have liked to see it be a bit more playful. You know, like SLiders.

speaking of sci-fi movies...
has anyone seen Donny Darko? I saw it the other night. It's a great mind-bender. I love weird plot constructions that double back on themselves.

Sliders? That really really terrible movie with Gwyneth Paltrow?
Yeah, Donnie Darko is excellent. I've been meaning to watch it again while it's still on the big screen. Fun stuff.

Sliders was a tv series starring the mighty Jerry O'Connell. They slid from alternate universe to alternate universe trying to get back home.
Sci Fi channel plays it sometime. Not that good really, but I kinda liked it for some reason.

I didn't know about the tv series. Sounds very very similar to the new-er movie Gwyneth was in. Going back and forth in time, which creates parallel lives, blah blah. It was terrible.

i couldn't get in to Donnie Darko until the third or fourth time i tried watching it, but that time i loved it. very haunting and unique. and, as Fisher says, excellent use of Echo & The Bunnymen in the score. perfect for that scene.
just found out some of my web dork buddies have Dodgeball and Anchorman already. they say both are a lot funnier than the reviews let on.

I watched Secret Window last night. It's a huge steaming pile of disappointment. (1.5/10)

Last night I watched Monster. Very disturbing, but in a transfixing sort of way. I couldn't believe the performance by Charlize Theron. (8/10)

- what is secret window? i never know anything about movies anymore.
- i really want to see monster.
- does anyone know what that movie about Dahmer is called? anyone seen it yet?
- if you've been anxious to rent the Stiller/Barrymore physical comedy Duplex, you can probably hold off. (3/10)

Secret Window is a Johnny Depp movie adaptation of a Stephen King story. Unfortunately Johnny Depp's dirty hotness is the only good part of this otherwise completely boring flick. It was slow, boring and totally predictable. I was pissed I wasted two hours on it.
Monster on the other hand, was disturbing and depressing and featured Charlize Theron and Christina Ricci in award winning performances. There's even a lesbian scene scored by Journey's Don't Stop Believin'. Weird.
