Finally got around to getting a new DVD player after a few months of not being bothered, and went to Blockbusters to catch up on movies I've missed.
And there ain't that many of interest to be honest.
Anyways:
Narc
Worthy, hard-hitting, gritty. And dull.
Another movie for Jason Patric to grow a mini-beard and act tortured for 2hrs, Ray Liotta be tubby and goateed and everybody to stumble through rainy, filtered cityscapes trying to uncover the facts of some distant murder yadda yadda yadda. It's just one of those movies that shouts for 2hrs "LIFE SUCKS! BEING A COP IS HARD! FAMILY LIFE CAN SUFFER! DRUGS ARE BAD" etc etc. Not a bad film, just not very interesting. Good opening though.
X-Men 2
More of the same.
Gandalf being slightly campily bad and a bunch of mutants conveniently being in situations where their powers are of use.
Nightcrawler. The stupidest waste of a superhero character ever.
"I shall attempt to assasinate the President and be menacing. Then I shall sit in the Xman jet for an hour and look slightly huffy, with zero exposition about how or why I became the way I am"
Wolverine doing his thing, but with almost none of the arrogance of the 1st film. Captain Picard spends 85% of the movie with his eyes closed and a rubbish helmet thing on.
I loved the 1st one, and this just seemed like a 2hr trailer for bits I didn't catch in X-Men 1.
The Hulk
Fantastic. Loved this one.
Nick Nolte being shabbily insane, Sam Elliot's moustache making another appearance, Jennifer Connolly taunting me from inside my tv screen, pretending she can't see me and doesn't want me...you little minx you...And Chopper being green and mental.
Excellently edited, split-screen type stuff.
And Hulk Poodle. A massive, hulked out French Poodle.
And shut up about CGI blah-blah, you haven't done anything better so get back to your college courses and act all Trauffaut in the refectory ok Orsen?
Rules of Attraction
Good stuff. Didn't really enjoy Killing Zoe and have no other comparison for Roger Avery's stuff.
However, this is a top film. Dawson being a badass and a bunch of others all being young Americans.
Trivia note: Dawson's character, Sean Bateman, is the brother of Patrick Bateman. Same author, same characters.
Fantastic, innovative opening of a party from 3 different perspectives and a very cool split-screen thing when Dawson and Goth Virgin meet up.
And Eric Stoltz getting a "hummer" from Goth Virgin.

There you go.
Couldn't bring myself to watch Charlie's Angels 2 or Terminator 3 because they look like ass.

the only one I can comment on is xmen2. I enjoyed the first one even if it was a little cheesy, but the second one was very disappointing.
you wanna rent yourself a copy of t3.
