Revolver (2005)
5/10
Look elsewhere if you are interested in self growth
25 June 2008
If I wanted to question my ego/soul/whatever (assuming I even BELIEVED the premise of the movie), I would learn some real psychology, not use two hours worth of Ritchies perception of (whacko) pop psychology as a guide to how I should exorcise some deeply entrenched inner demon. And even more pertinent a question: Who would actually admit that they had enough free time to watch a movie three or four times so they can understand it? Maybe that's a sensitive topic, but to me there are more important things in life to worry about than a confusing movie. Like "How can I cure cancer?", "Where are my glasses?", and "Isn't it sad that a MOVIE is the rare (and only?) self examination of myself?". Yes, I didn't like it because I didn't understand it that much, but it is a movie, should I need a PhD Psyc. for it to make sense?

Sky High (2005)
1/10
You basic superhero movie ripoff, with some incredibly fragrant fromage.

What do you get if you attempt to mix X-men, the Incredibles, the cheesy and stereotypical teen movies from the last century, with the quality of the Power Rangers? Sky High. The writer and director must have read all the failed "Undertanding Teens" books they could lay their hands on, and incorporated all the 80's Nancy Drew lingo. This movie is so predictable that I was almost able to say the lines before the characters said them. I cringed the whole movie. ALL OF IT. I would sooner light my 13 dollars on fire under me as I was tied to a stake than see this movie again. If you are considering going to see this movie your time would be much better spent standing in the middle of the highway at night wearing black.
