Okay, boosting this from [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Oh crap-- I'm so bad at picking movies that I hate because... Well, I'm easy to please. And love is just as bad because it's way more of a "what movie do I love at the moment" thing.

Hate:

Gangs of New York. Daniel Day Lewis was the only good thing about that movie. And for some reason, the CGI elephant really made me want to laugh like a mad thing in the middle of the theater.

Brotherhood of the Wolf. AUGH. This movie was... incomprehensible. And red. Augh. I liked the Indian! I fell asleep while watching it, but woke up to see Monica. I can't even think of anything else to say about it.

Love:

...I can't. It's too much. So I'm just going to say Boondock Saints and Fight Club because I like to slash and I desperately need more fic for both these fandoms. Also Ocean's 11. I suck at this meme.

Word on both the movies you hate. I just saw Gangs and was like "Martie, if you're actually trying to get me to sympathize with the Draft Riots that ended in lynchings...you've got the wrong girl" I'm sure there was something about the New York spirit in there, but I was too vexed to care.

And Brotherhood was by far the most overhyped movie I ever sat down to watch. Dammit, I thought it was about werewolves! Not...bosoms. Not that I mind Monica Belluci's bosoms but still.
