Sybil 5/5
This (for those who don't know) is about a woman, Sybil, who has multiple personality disorder (it's not schizophrenia). And it mainly shows her trying to cope with this disorder by going to her therapist who tries to find out what happened to her in the past to make her this way. Sybil has 16 different personalities that are showcased in this movie. Each of them being aspects of Sybil's real persona. This film is very deep and if you don't think you can handle some gruesome things I suggest you not see this. Although it doesn't show alot the story is very powerful. Sally Field plays Sybil(as well as her 16 personalities) and she's wonderful in each character she plays. I think each actor in this film were exceptionally good. Especially young Sybil too. Her facial expressions make you really feel for Sybil. I reccomend going to pick this up (if you can find it).
P.S. It's also based on a book called Sybil which was written by a woman who went under the false name Sybil. She wrote it with her therapist. I haven't read it, but people tell me it's very good and it has details about "Sybil's" life.
The Devil's Advocate:
Keanu Reeves gives it a good go in this thriller. I like the fact that it never got cheesy. I love Connie Nielsen; she's beautiful and a very talented actress. Overall, definitely a movie worth watching.
Memento - What a strange yet incredible movie. I absoutely love the way the movie shows goes backwards and constantly jumps around in time, it's very well done and very captivating. It takes a few watches to fully understand everything but it's so great it feels fresh everytime you watch. 4.8/5
Hills Have Eyes (remake) 3.5/5: Decent, the best part was most of it felt like an old horror movie, the music was the best part, a little boring on occasion and somewhat over the top in the fight scenes.
She was all likeand I was all :mog: and then he was like
and then we was all like
Phone Booth: Just watched it on Channel 4. It was ok, very seat grabby, but the last 2 minutes with the satellite werent really needed.
Rashomon - Truthfully, I was kind of expecting more from this movie. It left me a bit dissappointed because I heard this was Kurosawa's masterpiece. Maybe I just need to watch it again, but it wasn't anything spectacular to me. 3.6/5
Oldboy - Wasn't quite expecting the film to be so...violent. It's definetly kind of disturbing when you think of the subject matter at hand (incest, father/daughter relationships). All in all a very stylish and gripping movie, even if it seems kinda stupid when you realize the motives of the villian. 4.3/5
Zoolander - 5/5 (To be honest, I expected less.)
Kingdom of Heaven - 5 A little long, but excellent movie
Super Troopers - 5 It doesn't get any better for comedy
King Kong - 3 Special effects were great, wasn't impressed with the overall movie
Final Fatasy VII: Advent Children - 4 Amazing visually. Story was lagging
Waiting : 4 Another great comedy
You've got red on you
Dazed and Confused: 4/5 (IMDB)
I guess this is a bit of a cult film, right? A teen comedy set in the 70's with a highly impressive soundtrack (reportedly accounting for an entire sixth of the budget), it's basically the kind of school life I'd have liked to have, which I think is a big part of why I like the film. It just has a really cool feel to it, and plenty of good laughs.
Jisatsu Saakuru/Suicide Club: 1/5 (IMDB)
Apart from a few set pieces (including the hilarious opening), this japanese horror film fails miserably. It's not scary, it's not funny, it's commentary on the idol culture of Japan is terrible and it's just plain shoddy overall.
Better than Chocolate: 3.5/5 (IMDB)
Bearing in mind that this film is actually quite adult in its depiction of sexuality, BtC is still the funniest film I've seen in a long while. My biggest issue with it though is how it spreads its focus upon too many characters, not really giving the main lesbian relationship time to develop. If you take it as just a comedy it's pretty good, but I was hoping for a bit more on the romance side.

I had heard both good and bad things about this film, but truth be told it was pretty boring. Adam Sandler, while not as wired as he might be in one of his comedies, is still pretty much Adam Sandler. Tea Leoni is a little too melodramatic, but at least Paz Vega is nice to look at. 2 1/2 out of 5
Subway
One of Luc Besson's first movies, but still a great one. It's a movie that runs for about 90 minutes, and 90 % of the movie takes place in the metro, which sounds dull, but it really isn't. Subway is a nice story about loneliness, love, and it features some nice typical 80s sounding music, plus it is in FrenchActors in it are for example Christopher Lambert and Jean Reno.
4/5.
Mulholland Dr.: 3/5 (IMDB)
Man this depressed the crap out of me. I guess watching this after the upbeat Better than Chocolate was maybe a mistake XD Anyway, Mulholland Dr. is yet another one of David Lynch's bizarre mysteries, this time focusing on the smoke and mirrors of Hollywood. Whilst confusing, the film does actually reach a definite conclusion, and the getting there is done pretty well, but I can't help wondering what this would have been like if it had indeed continued on as a TV series as was originally planned. Still, it's worth watching this just to see that smurf Billy Ray Cyrus getting his arse kicked.

Final Fatasy VII: Advent Children 3/5 Nice graffics and 3d modeling but its story sucked.
The Da Vinci Code 2/5
It really isnt that great and if you've read the book you'll find that this movie just murders the book best to wait and rent this movie.
Over the Hedge 4/5
Its not another Madagasgar copy, its fun to watch and the 3D modeling is amazing. Good for those who like cute comedies or want to see a movie that a whole age range of people can enjoy.
Now for some words of wisdom:
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.....hmmm wait just a minute.
Everyone makes mistakes. The trick is to make mistakes when nobody is looking

Aeon Flux 2/5
Entertaining action, but very vapid in most other respects.
