Spun

This gritty film about meth should be shown in schools along with Trainspotting and Requiem For A Dream to scare kids about drugs. Spun is eerily realistic, gritty, sometimes even funny, but very well made and acted by all.

Fantastic Four

Hokey... but fun.

Not nearly as bad as the critics said.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Now let me first say, that I have read all of the books, loved all of the books, and that my opinion may vary drastically from someone who has not read a single book in the series.

Now... with that being said, we can move on...

I really liked this movie. I fully plan on buying it, as I did with the other Harry Potter movies. HOWEVER, I did not like it as much as the last movie. POA is still my favorite. I think the problem here is the fact that the book tops off around 850 pages, and there just wasn't enough time to fit everything in. Think of this movie as the abridged version of a great story. It hits all the right points, its easy to follow, but the original has so much more depth. With every scene I was left wanting a bit more.

The other thing, and this is just me being nick picky, but the screen writers missed a fairly major boo-boo (in my eyes). Did you catch it? Hint: its towards the end of the movie.

Kingdom of Heaven

Here was a perfect opportunity to make a glorious, timeless epic... instead we get an over-indulgent Hollywood attempt at a blockbuster (which failed if I remember correctly).

Even Bloom's cheekbones can't save this film.

I *Heart* Huckabees

Ahhhh...

That's a sigh of relief, for intelligent comedy exists.
