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.

Date: 2005-04-29 01:28 pm (UTC)I Hate -
Mars Attacks - this was the first movie where I learned the hard lesson that movies that pad thier roster with this many stars are going to be bad no matter what they do with them. The most ridiculous premise, story, and acting Ive ever seen in my life.
Surf Ninjas - I have a friend who is obsessed with this movie, and it frightens me just a little. I mean, out of all the cheesy, "american ninja/karate kid" movies - this may well be the worst.
Love - (sticking with the mildly obscure)
this one was really, really hard to choose - too many movies I love.
With Honors - Brandon Frasiers bad acting aside - I *love* this film. Granted, it may have something to do with the fact my mother had just died of cancer when I saw it - but - Even now, years later - I think it reallyy does have something to it.
White Christmas - again, yes, I am aware its cheesy schmultz, but every time that old man walks into that room, I tear up. Again - probably has something to do with my dad being a Sergent in the WWII - but - how can you watch this thing and *not* be engaged by it?
(props have to go to the standerd mention SW, IJ, and LotR - you cant live without them... you *know* you cant)
