Movie Reviews

Movie Reviews (from now on, Im keeping past review scores below the current movie review.)  Also, reviews are -from now on- based on a 1-10 scale.

TERMINATOR 3 - RISE OF THE MACHINES

Wow.   A movie that blows you away with action, purty girls, action, Arnold, and action.  Some lines that were cheesy, but inevitable - ya know, 'You are terminated', etc... 

CLAIRE DANES IS THE WORST ACTRESS EVER.

The movie was well done, the acting was creative and entertaining (cept for Claire Danes).

But about that action... while it was a thrill ride, I personally prefer kung fu (matrix) rather than big explosions.  Still fun though.

T3 - R.o.t.M - 8.75 / 10 stars

The Matrix: Reloaded

Not as good as the first one.  The sex/rave/party was a little gratuitous, even with its plot-related and religious/moral implications.

Ladies and gents, that was the CON section of my opinion of this movie.  Also, very slight and occasional flaws in CGI, but really, could anyone else on the planet do any better? No.

PROs - AMAZING action (the best I have ever seen).  I would pay 3 times as much just to see all that action, even if the rest of the movie was terrible.  Great acting (with the occasional exception of Keanu, although I still think he's perfect for the part.) Great music, great plot, great cinematography, great character development, dialogue, and everything else.

Better yet, it dove so deep (with the architect's soliloquy) that I was facinated with the movie and had to be a geek and do all this research (Greek mytho., the Bible, and comp. language) to discover a bajillion religious references, and a complete understanding of the infinitely complex and intricate workings of the Matrix plot.  For all that detailed explanation, see my new 'Matrix Explained' page.  Anyhow, the point is that this is an experience that not many movies these days can even come close to offering to its viewers.

See this movie, but see the first one, well, first.

Reloaded - 9.6 stars/ 10 stars

X-Men 2 (X2)

Awesome. Great action, really went furthur into the intriguing X-Men universe, had really cool twists and plot devices, and was just entertaining (also the new characters were cool.)  Didn't leave me with much of an aftertaste.

X2-  8.5/10 stars

Bruce Almighty

A refreshingly witty Carrey comedy.  Reminded me how funny he was, and how funny he can make situations.  Morgan Freeman as the Almighty was cool.  Not a good movie otherwise, but very entertaining.  That's what we go to the movies for, right?

Bruce Almighty - 7.6/10 stars

Daredevil

Hot girl.  Cool fights.  Bad acting.  Bad movie.

I suppose you can see by now that I'm tired of reviewing this type of film.

Daredevil - 5/10 stars

The Recruit - 7.7/10 stars

Catch me if you Can - 8.9/10 stars 

Lord of the Rings - Two Towers - 9.99/10 stars

Analyze That - 2.3/5 stars

The Truth about Charlie - 1.5/5 stars

Igby goes down - 4.75/5 stars

The Transporter - 3/5 stars

XXX - 2.5/5 Stars

Austin Powers in: Goldmember - 1.7/5 stars

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back - 2.5/5 stars

Men and Black II - 3/5 stars

Cinnaccino.com book review

The Salmon of doubt

This book is a compolation of short stories written by Douglas Adams, who died last year. His colleague found these locked away in his old Mac's hard drive, and slapped them together into a really great collection. It doesnt matter if youve read all the 'hitchhiker's guide' series, (even though you should at least read the first one) this is still funny. 5/5 stars

NEW!! CINNACCINO.COM DRAMA REVIEW

I saw a play called Waiting for Godot, apparently one of the most symbolically relevant plays in dramatic history.  Read it, then think hard.  Think very hard.  Then if you don't get it, read it again.  If you still dont get it, talk to me or any big drama person and youll understand it. 

5/5 stars
