I LOVE movies. I usually go to the theater to see only the really big ones, and ones that have epic battle scenes, like starwars, saving private ryan, and stuff like that. The rest I'll wait till they come out on DVD and I usually rent three or four a week. I've seen everything. I very rarely will see one twice though, unless it comes on tv and there is nothing else to do. Which almost never happens. I loved The Green Mile, and my favorite movie of all time is Forrest Gump. If you're sensing a Tom Hanks theme here, it's purely coincidental. Or maybe not. He is the one who brought those characters to life. And these are the kind of characters who are my heros. I love any huge epic film. I loved all the starwars movies, and everything about them with the possible exception of JarJar. The Lord of the rings series was one of my main reasons for living for the few years it was being made. The Patriot, Braveheart, Pearl Harbor, and really any war flick of any kind. I love a good comedy, like 48 hours, or anything with Chris Rock or Eddie Murphy (that doesn't suck). Here is a link to the best part of one of the funniest movies I've ever seen-- Tenacious D--the pick of destiny...Not for the closed-minded or overly religious...
The Ray Charles movie was excellent, and I think Jamie Foxx is one of the most talented guys around. Dreamgirls was perhaps the best movie of 2006 and I suspect racism in the highest places kept it from being nominated for the Oscar. I also really enjoyed Little Miss Sunshine, but Best Picture? COME ON!!!! I also kind of resent not being able to see Letters from Iwo Jima before the Oscar nominations... Transformers was great! Despite horrendous critical reviews. What do those A-holes know anyway...
