"Oh I know why the raptors are chasing us!" "Why's that?" "I took their eggs." "Dumbass." Ha ha ha!! Pretty much. I guess the Spinosaur debate is just that... a debate. They only discovered the thing a few years ago, didn't they? Almost no one knows a thing about it. I did like the idea that InGen made a bunch of dinosaurs without keeping track of them all. It's the kind of irresponsibility we Americans have come to expect from our large corporations. *cough*enron*cough* |

I agree though, without Sam Neil that movie might have been bottom 100 worthy huh? Might as well have set Uwe Ball to direct, it could've been that bad. Oh, stop it already, guys! JPIII is a great film! Saw: Saw II. Nice. Mucho better than I. |

JPIII is a great film! Saw: Saw II. Nice. Mucho better than I. Again, I have to say: Better than total crap makes it what? Slightly better than total crap? I didn't say JPIII was bad, but it had a lot of problems that the first two films avoided, despite the second film's near total lack of relationship with the book! Sam Neil saved JPIII. There are two reasons to watch JPIII: Sam Neil and the Spinosaurus. I did like that Laura Dern showed up to do reprive her role. |

Mr. And Mrs. Smith- A terrible movie.  Terrible? Watched last night: Kindred:The Embraced-Disc 1 And tonite: The Devil's Rejects2/4I don't know why everyone hates this one...  Good sick fun. And I have to say I liked it better than House of 1000 Corpses, which I loved. |

Mr. And Mrs. Smith- A terrible movie. Terrible? I couldn't stand it. Wolf- An elegant go-for-the-throat suspense thriller.............oh wait, I just whipped that one off the box... |

STAR WAIT (2005)
Documentary about hardcore fans waiting several weeks in line outside of Mann's Chinese Theater in 2002, to see STAR WARS: EPISODE II - ATTACK OF THE CLONES. Not as interesting as I thought it might be. And a lot of these guys weren't as entertaining as they think they are.
5/10
OCEAN'S TWELVE (2004)
The first movie was fluff, but very entertaining.
This one was crap. Phoned-in performances (Everyone only came back to collect a big check.) and a dull plot. No suspense. Never felt like the characters were in any kind of danger. And the whole thing with Tess (Julia Roberts) pretending to be Julia Roberts because "she looks just like her" and then running into the real Bruce Willis? Over the top, slapstick contrivance that pulled me out of the movie even further. Thumbs down.
3/10

Open Water- taken out at the library so it was free. My husband and sister hated it, I was indifferent. For an indy, it wasn't that bad. I don't like the quality of digital film though. When you're filming the ocean, I think it's best if better cameras are used, ya know?
Still, if you want to see a BETTER low budget film this is a good rental. But forgettable.
5/10

I can think of two awesome low-budget, Indie films: Bubba Ho-Tep and The Machinist. Of course.
But I just watched The Mothman Prophecies, which my Mom and wife strongly recommended I watch.
I would've liked it a lot more if that ending hadn't been so damn similar to the Chinese film, The Eye, which I saw a year prior.

"Heathers" - Still good, with some great dialogue. Not a huge fan of the change to standard psycho thriller in the final quarter, but still a fine watch and Slater is marvellous!
