apocalypsosOkay, boosting this from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ashlle1, 'cause I like it lots.
Am feeling vaguely ADD at the moment, so let's play a game. Simple games. Two movies you love, two movies you hate, and why for all of them. And then chitchat in response to other people.
Me first, and I'm going to use other movies than the ones I picked over there.
HATE:
The last two Matrix movies: Wait, I'm sorry. What am I saying? There were no other Matrix movies. There was just that really good movie with neat special effects and an ending with great potential. And then nothing else. Okay, maybe a video game or two, but that's it.
Moulin Rouge!: I'm not sure I should admit that in public, but, oh, did I hate Moulin Rouge! with a passion. I mean, I loved the visuals and I loved the soundtrack, but together ... my GOD, did they grate on my nerves. Plus, Nicole Kidman -- blech.
LOVE:
Sneakers: Look, it's on USA Network right now! And it's got Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Dan Ackroyd, James Earl Jones and River Phoenix. And look, they're all snarky and mysterious. Wheeeee.
Citizen X: Pretty much one of the best made-for-TV movies I've ever seen HBO put out. I really need to watch that again.
Okay, your turn. :)
EDIT: Dear internal organs, behave or I'm selling you all on the black market.

Waterboy: I'm sorry, I just don't get why Adam Sandler is funny. I really don't.
Lost in Translation: Maybe the fact that it's completely incomprehensible is supposed to be some sort of statement, but whatever. It did nothing for me.
Love:
Men With Brooms: I adore this movie. Paul Gross, Molly Parker, Leslie Neilson, curling, random beavers... what more could you *want*?
Hard Core Logo: Excellent cast, excellent use of documentary convention. Dark, angsty and depressing- in other words, your quintessential Canadian film. It's where this icon is from.
