Movie Review Time!

Wow... Another set of reviews already... They only seem closer together because I'm not posting a bunch of shite all over my blog like I used to... I suppose I could go back to the shite, but that's a time commitment from me to figure out the shite, and a time commitment from you to read the shite, and it all means way too much commitment from everyone, when we should just be friends and hang out...

• Do the Right Thing - I seen this before, but man.... I love these old skool Spike Lee movies. Nothin' bad to say about it, just go check it out.
  
• American Gangster - I was not interested in this movie when it hit theaters, mainly because of my dislike of "Douchebag" Crowe (which you probably have read about in my earlier reviews). But, once again, the D-bag amazed me with this movie. He's still a d-bag, but he's a d-bag that can do some pretty amazing shit. Amazingly, I thought Denzel was the weaker of the 2 starring actors, when I really thought it would be the other way 'round. Not that Denzel was bad or anything.... Don't get me wrong.... I just thought the D-bag was actually that much better. I honestly think this movie is worth a look if you have not seen it yet.
  
• Donnie Brasco - Johnny Depp is still one of my favorite actors. I mean, there are a ton of great actors from the classic film days, but my personal opinion is that Mr. Depp will go down in history as one of the greatest. I know not everything he's done have been mainstream successes, but I think he has (or at least he used to...) an ecclectic taste in the choices of roles he's had over the years. Even in the less successful films, I've always enjoyed something about his work. To get off his jock for a moment, Al Pacino again delivers a stellar performance as well. And when you put the 2 of these dudes together, it's fucking magic. They should do more movies together some time. Please?
  
• The Host - This movie was a bit of a let down to be honest. I remember it was rated very highly by critics, but I dunno... It's sort of weak for a monster movie. Unlike the moderately acceptable "Cloverfield", in this movie, you get to see the monster throughout the movie, and not some douchey college kid's appalling inability to document something important on video. The problem is that in this case, you get to see the monster right away, and it ends up not really building up to anything later. So the monster just kinda does stuff and like, people win. Oh, sorry, that was a spoiler...
  
• Lost Highway - So I guess I didn't realize how much of a perv David Lynch is.... I guess it shoulda dawned on me earlier when I saw "Mullholland Dr.", but I guess I might have been distracted by something else during that one... uh.... yeah... Anyway, I saw bits and pieces of this movie during a party in college, and like, I didn't understand it because I didn't start from the beginning, you know? So, like, I dunno... Never really got around to watching the whole deal until now. All I can say, now that I've seen the whole thing, is that it's um... Good... Yeah.... Good....

Ok... There you go. Um... So to wrap up this set of reviews, uh.... Well... I think I'm just gonna end it here...
