Updated with:

#43: The Saddest Music in the World - ½ - Guy Maddin, with memorable dialogue to match his visuals!
#44: Van Helsing - ¾ - Bad enough this is a bad movie. What makes it worse is seeing where Sommers buried a few nifty ideas.
#45: Io Non Ho Paura (I'm Not Scared in the USA) - ¾ - A nifty coming-of-age thriller
#46: Mean Girls - - A smart teen movie that I felt only moderately pervy going to see.
#47: Games People Play: New York - ¼ - Either a wickedly good satire on unscripted television or the next step for the genre.
#48: Shrek 2 - ½ - Just about as funny as the original

Added Soul Plane (2 out of 5), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (4 out of 5) and The Day After Tomorrow (3.5 out of 5).

Brook K

Twentynine Palms Interesting for its depiction of a disturbed relationship and its views of sex as a violent and ridiculous act, whether performed out of love or hate. But director Bruno Dumont is more successful at portraying relationships than he is at mood setting or staging his violence.

Though they are done in completely opposite styles, I would equate this film with Irreversible. An intriguing portrait of a relationship paired with empty, shock value violent acts. B

Brook K on Bon Voyage:


I guess, I'm with you on this one, Brook. While I didn't have any expectations, I wouldn't classify this as a comedy. Very little of it was funny. Oh well, on to the next one.

Edwin Pereyra

Robert Luketic's Win A Date With Tad Hamilton! - Good natured, sweet and full of good intentions but invitingly calculated and oftentimes, glib. Young rising stars in admirable roles (especially Topher Grace) while two older and established stars (Nathan Lane and Sean Hayes) in insipid roles create the perfect imbalance.
