The Real Cancun (2003)

Glorification of morons.

[6 June 2003]

This movie reminded me of how bad society is. Do yourself a favor and avoid this film at all costs, unless you like seeing a formulated MTV train wreck. This movie is proof that media conglomerates honestly think were all stupid mindless drones.

Thank god I live in Canada and dont have to "deal" with MTV.

Malibu's Most Wanted (2003)

The only ones laughing are the producers, at you, for paying to see this.

[31 May 2003]

I can just hear the PR guys' cramming the BS down the head honchos at the studio before this movie (and I use the term loosely) got made....

"Oh ya we see a strong demographic for rich white rappers acting like repressed black gangsters. This is really going to sell. Standards are so low, kids will watch anything....morons."

You just know there laughing at all of you people who went and paid money to see this. And you know what, I'm laughhing too.

25th Hour (2002)

An amazing story with an amazing cast and an amazing director!

[30 April 2003]

Right from the opening scenes of the towers of light, this film had me. For those who don't know, the towers of light were a luminous monument that New York put up on ground zero a year after September 11th. This movie almost felt as if it was produced specifically for me. If I was to make a movie this is the director I would choose this is the score I would choose and this is definitely the cast I would choose. Every actor cast in this flick delivers a superb performance (especially Philip Seymour Hoffman). The storyline is original and intriguing, and the cast ensure a good delivery. I love the feeling that spike lee gives this movie with the backdrop of a post 9 11 New York; it gave me shivers a few times. Did I mention that Terrence Blanchard gives this movie one of the best scores I've heard in years? The combination of the music and the atmosphere gave this movie a distinct fell I haven't gotten from a movie in a long time. I highly recommend this movie to everyone! I watch a lot of movies and I mean a lot. And this movie is probably my second favorite of all time. This movie has everything!
