Honestly, I only went to this movie because I didn't want to go home. The movie was a waste of ten dollars and seemed to go on and on forever. Apparently, rich girls with British accents are complete bad asses. The movie progressed ever so slowly and then it suddenly started jumping year to year. The most disappointing part was that it was about a bunch of bounty hunters but there was hardly any bounty hunting involved in the film. Half of it was riding around in a bus and the other half was waiting for the eventual nude scene with Keira Knightley (which was pretty disappointing anyway). So, in conclusion, this movie was a wannabe Quentin Tarantino film that possessed absolutely none of the awesome aspects of his films. I would also like to take this time to give an honorable mention to Mickey Rourke and Christopher Walken, don't worry guys, we'll forgive you in time for this crap box.

I was constantly hearing about this movie from friends for a long time after it came out. I went to rent it and forgot to watch it at all. However, it has recently been on HBO regularly so I've caught a couple times now. It's another creative masterpiece straight from Tim Burton. It follows Edward Bloom, a small town Alabama man who has big hopes. Although he lives a full life, he eventually falls sick and his son comes to visit him. His son doesn't see eye to eye with him and feels as though he is a liar and that the stories he tells are all tall tales. The movie is well casted and it's pretty funny. The guy that plays Obi Wan in the new Star Wars plays Edward and thats all I really remember about the names of the cast. The movie is definitely worth the two hours.

The movie basically follows Donnie Darko, a teen who recently survived a brush with death. Afterwards, he is plagued by visions and becomes obsessed with time travel. I'm not going to spell out all the details to you but I can say that the storyline is very complex and will most definitely take more than one viewing to understand fully. The movie is very depressing but at the same time it's a happy story as well. It's very paradoxical in the sense that you don't know how you should feel about it. I even went to the official website for more information but the website is a mystery as well. The acting in the film is really good and the music fits well with the mood of the movie. A must see.
