long long time

sorry for the delay between postings
i have been busy
going to the twin cities
and being lazy
but look for many more to come
i quit my day job so should, in theory have much more time for movies

but i am back
and better than ever
now with awesome pictures from jake F.
so lets just get straight back to it
(and every one else should to)

"Lost" Discs 3,4,5,6 (various directors)

see below for description

I am in a severe love hate relationship with this show. They could have dropped discs 3 and 4 and this show would have been way better. All filler no thriller. When they do get around to main plot points like ghost dads and hatches and chief john "sits with bull" locke the show is really good. I will probably give the second episode the ol' college try.

Filler episodes 4/10 good episodes 7.5/10

Resident Evil Extinction



Milla Jovovich returns as zombie-killing soldier Alice, who's obsessed with bringing down the Umbrella Corp. When a series of viral outbreaks nearly wipes out all of mankind, Alice and a small band of survivors are left to roam the ruins of Las Vegas, battling the undead … and their own extinction. Oded Fehr, Mike Epps, Ali Larter and R&B singer Ashanti co-star in this final installment of the sci-fi trilogy.

I pretty much agree with luke, Who gives a shit fart, boobs and zombies make for a good movie no matter what.......then you throw in cover girl milla jovovich and you got a real gem. Too bad her music career cannot be quite so stellar eh? oh and p.s. there are an infinite number of milla jovovitches.........a jovovitch factory hurrrrrray!!!!!!!!!

8/10

Into the Wild (Sean Penn)



Sean Penn directs this feature based on best-selling author Jon Krakauer's true story of a young man who gives up everything to lead a solitary life in the wild. Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch), a middle-class college graduate, abandons his safe existence to trek across the harsh yet beautiful terrain of Alaska. William Hurt and Marcia Gay Harden co-star, along with Catherine Keener, Vince Vaughn and Hal Holbrook (in an Oscar-nominated role).

I think i had to read this book in high school and remember liking it and pretty much remember the end of the book. The kid from girl next door does and excellent job in this roll and looks remarkably like it's subject. Pretty to look at too, but it's hard to make alaska ugly. Carries a very good message and manages not to make it too hippy tacular. Eddie Vedder does the soundtrack and it even manage not to suck

8/10

L.A. Confidential (Curtis Hanson)



A must-see whodunit that's praised as one of the best films of the 1990s. In 1950s Los Angeles, three wildly different cops (Guy Pearce, Russell Crowe and Kevin Spacey) form an uneasy alliance to ferret out deep-seated police corruption. Brian Helgeland's script adaptation won an Oscar, as did Kim Basinger for her supporting role as a hooker who seduces haunted tough-guy Crowe.

For some reason this one had escaped my viewing for some time and i'm pretty glad i got around to watching it. Usually im not a big russel crowe fan, but he is pretty solid in this as a huge asshole, and guy pearce is a regular clarke kent. I put this in the same vein as Goodfellas, sort of a heavy corruption story line taken in a light, watchable way.

9/10

Dunn & Vito's Rock Tour

Ryan Dunn from "Jackass" and Vincent Margera (aka Don Vito) from "Viva la Bam" team up for a cross-country road trip to showcase a new collection of insanely dangerous exploits -- and to drag willing audience members into the senseless stunts -- in a series of live events. This compilation features tons of pain-inducing moments, gross-outs and a small riot in Montreal. Musical guests include pop-punk bands Open Hand, Fight Paris and Disengage.

jackass but without that wuss bam. vito is fat and loud

6.5/10

Eight Days a Week Michael Davis



Peter (Joshua Schaefer) is a socially inept teen madly in love with his sexy next-door neighbor, Erica (Keri Russell). In a desperate attempt to get a date with her, he camps out on her front lawn for the entire summer. His parents think he's nuts, and his buddy Matt (R.D. Robb) thinks he should have sex with fruit. But Peter's goofy stunt gives him a new outlook on life, love and his neighbors in this quirky romantic comedy from Michael Davis.

A teen comedy that went unnoticed. I really liked this one. Lets call it pete and pete if they talked about sex. For all you felicity fans, you get to see some wet t shirt felicity

8/10
