The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)
An exciting, entertaining fantasy adventure. I'd call it a kid-friendly Lord of the Rings that doesn't feel watered down (aside from the lack of blood, damn PG rating). Great visual effects, epic battle sequences, and an intriguing story that vaguely parallels the story of Christ. By vaguely, I mean there's really only one sequence I could find... but then again, I've never read the Bible, so what do I know?
Narnia comes highly recommended. Not as good as Harry Potter or the Lord of the Rings, but it's definitely good in its own right.

Executive Target-Exciting actioner with a great cast: Angie Everhart, Michael Madsen, Keith David and Roy Scheider. Tons of action, intriguing premise, and how can a film gfo wrong with an opening sequence that is a 20-minute long car chase? Highly recommended. 9/10

The Silence of the Lambs- Those lambs just don't stp crying! They make a classic movie, though. |

The Bible is in serious need of an editor. I mean, not to strike anything out or whatever, but just to make it grammatically correct! To reduce the redundancy, contradiction, and such.
It's a good book...just not well written.

Ewwwww, a Madsen movie! ;D One of his better B-movies. I actually enjoyed that one. I didn't know he was in it. Top billed where Everhart, Scheider and Davis. All I knew was that it was rated R and had the PM Entertainment logo on it. That was enough to sell me on it, and I'm glad I caught it. |

Panic Room---I don't care what you all say. I like this movie. Though it was only my second time ever watching it.
Foster+Fincer=I liked it.

Syriana (2005)
I never thought a movie with George Clooney, Matt Damon, Chris Cooper and Christoper Plummer could have so many characters I didn't care about. This movie was so boring and so pointless, I didn't care. I had trouble paying attention to it, and I have a high attention span. What I did gather was a bunch of left-wing propaganda (which unlike Fahrenheit 9/11, wasn't entertaining. The film had a couple of moments that warranted my actually watching it, but for the most part, this is one of the most disappointing, boring movies I've ever seen.
3/10

Yeah, most people don't know most of his movies even exist....except for obsessed people like me I guess. ;D |
