Crossover (2006)

Lol at people...

[7/10 · 8 July 2007]

I had great expectations when I was going to watch this movie... Rated 2nd worst of all movies, had given me a hope to enjoy bad acting, director, music, etc...

Already in the first scene I noticed the good music(not especially "good", but proper and suitable). The acting wasn't bad at all, and the movie switched nicely between the basket playing and the street life... If it wasn't for a thin story I'd perhaps given it 8/10 or 9/10, but 7/10 will do...

I generally don't like, sorry for the expression, movies with "nigga"-talk and gangs, but this one had a meaning, and the end of the movie was brilliant... You could see how he'd learned throughout the movie, and was a dynamic person(and all you idiots who voted 1/10 or 2/10 probably doesn't know what that means...) Finally, I'd like to say that I've seen hundreds, and yes, I literally mean HUNDREDS, of movies worse than this, and only a few better... GO OUT AND WATCH THIS MOVIE, DON'T BE AFRAID OF ALL THE BAD COMMENTS MADE...

300 (2006)

Name of the song

[8/10 · 24 March 2007]

First of all i wanted to say that I enjoyed the movie, although as some of you already have said; there should have been a better historical movie (not "monsters" etc.) But the reason I write this comment, is because I want to know the name of the song that can be heard at the very end of the movie, or in fact after the movie, when names of actors and so on appears... And yes, I've heard the soundtrack, and it isn't there... I also think I've heard that song before, so I ask you, faithful IMDb-users, do you know what the name of the song is?? Please respond to this comment, PM me, or send me a mail at [e-mail] ... thanks;)

Adaptation. (2002)

The Book

[9/10 · 14 January 2007]

Have any of you read the book? The Orchid Thief? I wonder, if the quotes that supposedly had come from the book, really is from the book? Cause if they are, I'd love to read the book... Please give me a private message if you know something about it. I would be very grateful;)

I loved the movie by the way, probably because of all the very good quotes... Movies today, usually lets the action talk for itself, but I love it when movies contain good quotes...

The actors did a perfect job, and Nicholas Cage is also performing very well( as usually);)

Quotes make the world go around...

Shopgirl (2005)

Tragic

[3/10 · 14 January 2007]

I can't understand how so many of you are able to say so many great things about this movie... If it hadn't been for the actors, I'd rated this movie 1...

First of all, there is no plot, no... action at all until you've passed the first hour in the movie... Then comes the first scene in the movie, which can lead to complications. In the beginning, it looks like this is going to be a comedy, and it really should have turned out that way, because I even laughed a time or two(!). However, I believe I laughed because Jason Schwartzman reminded me of someone i know...

Then, after this "funny" start, all the "jokes" disappear, and all you sit left with is this love-drama without drama! It's like they said in the movie Adaption; you can't make a movie about flowers, because there is no action! Although I believe you can make a great movie about how beautiful a flower is, this was a terrible move to show great "love" is...

I believe I can say honestly, that not one time during the movie, I could see a point in what I'd seen... This is probably the worst plot I've ever seen in a movie, and yes; I've seen a lot bad movies...

However, as I said earlier, I won't blame the actors for the way I feel about this movie, cause they did great;) And finally, I have to add one thing; those lines at the end of the movie, coming from the guy who told the story, was horrible... If he had said something short, and philosophical or something, this movie might have turned out a little better...

Hopefully this is of good help to you, but I do want you to watch this movie, and make up an opinion yourself. After all, a lot of people has actually enjoyed this movie, but I wouldn't have too high expectations before watching this one...

The Last Castle (2001)

6,4 out of 10??

[10/10 · 30 December 2006]

When I entered the page for this movie, just for fun since I've already watched it, I saw that the rating was 6,4 out of 10??? This movie is one of the best I've ever seen, worthy 10 for sure!! I was so shocked, I had to become a member to make this comment... The plot is great, and the actors are also very good! So many movies are made today, and there are so many bad movies, but not this one...

One of the things that I look for in a great movie, is the beginning and the end; and a better beginning than this movie, one would have to look long for... "You tell your men: You're soldiers and that's our flag. You tell them nobody takes our flag... Now you got yourself a castle". The end is also perfect, but since i hope that those who read this will watch the movie, I won't reveal it...;)

Unlike a lot of other movies, this one has a soul, and above all; a meaning... That is so rare nowadays, that you have to watch this movie...;) I hope this comment is useful to you, and that you decide to watch the movie after reading it;)
