The one thing in life I seem to be pretty good at is watching movies.  I've been practicing since I was about 2 years old.  I've become quite skilled at it.  Sure I have an advanced degree, some technical skills, and a creative mind.  But why strain to put all that to work when I can sit in a dark theater and absorb some silly nonsense?  I knew I was meant for something special on this earth!

Bringing Down the House
 Mystic River - Okay, it's not a "bad" movie...but it is way over-hyped.
Cold Mountain - Without Kidman and Law, this movie might've been tolerable.
The Last Samurai - Wake me up when Tom Cruise is done boring me to death.
Duplex - Danny DeVito directed this...that explains all
The Matrix Movies - more is not always better.
Mona Lisa Smile - Yay!  Julia Roberts finally had a bomb.  Let's hope this is a sign of things to come!
 The Order - Heath Ledger priest movie
Hollywood Homicide - Harrison Ford & Josh Hartnett buddy cop movie
Charlie's Angels 2 - 'nuff said
Dreamcatcher - Morgan Freeman...get a new agent!
Hulk - I did enjoy the comic book feel of this movie, but overall very disappointing.
The Haunted Mansion - Uh oh, time for Eddie Murphy's career to take another nose-dive.
