Saw Knowing last night. Would have been more enjoyable if it weren't the rowdy teens behind us that laughed at everything just to be jerks. But it wasn't a bad movie, kind of slow at first, but I liked the ending and the vision painted of the angels/aliens.

Watched the '79 version of Dracula last night and it was a nice take on the vampire legend. And there may have been some minor flaws, but I think they were made up for.

Also watched the '59 version of Jack the Ripper and it wasn't bad. I do think it could've been a bit longer, though.

Watched the Da Vinci Code and Iron Man for the first time ever. I enjoyed both.

Citizen Kane, not bad, but I don't know if it deserves the acclaim it's been given.

It deserves the acclaim for how revolutionary it was at the time, but it sure as hell doesn't hold up today.

I finally went back to the movies and saw Last House on the Left. It was pretty cool, but one scene in particular felt too long and was pretty awkward.

Had a blaxploitation double feature recently with Wille Dynamite and Sweet Jesus, Preacherman and both movies had their good and bad parts. I think it was an fun experience overall, though, and wouldn't mind doing something like it again.

Watched the 1922 version of Nosferatu yesterday and it was utterly engaging as well as superb. And in terms of being a vampire movie, I think it still stands out today.

And in school, I watched Stand Against Fear, which was a well-acted mad-for-TV movie. It could've had less of a rountine feel, though.

Watchmen. Pretty good flick. It's the same dark film noir, Frank Miller-esque storytelling, which I actually like.

Shinjuku Incident, Jackie Chan's latest. I really didn't like it and one particularly gruesome scene disturbed me to a point where I actually regret seeing the movie. I know you're trying to change your image, Jackie, but please don't change it to this.

At the theatre it was "Confessions of a Shopaholic".

At home, I think it was Problem Child 2.

Watched Man in the Attic recently and it wasn't bad. Plus, it was kinda neat to see Jack Palance in one of his earlier roles.

Also watched The Legend of Hell House and it was quite good. And I'm glad the haunted house aspect of the movie was believable, especially since there was date and time stamps throughout.

The Tale of Despereaux, a G rated kids movie that makes me think the people behind the CG TMNT were going for the G and missed it by inches, because I don't see how it and this movie are much different in terms of action sequences.

I saw Adventureland yesterday. Actually, it was a very good movie. They pitch it as a comedy, but it's barely affected by the tag. Heartfelt and original. Take a look.

Watching Spider-Man 3 again. Wow, Mary Jane is such a pain in the neck in this movie. Just goes on and on about herself and gives Peter a hard time.

Spider-Man becomes a big jerk later on too, though. Too bad it wasn't a crossover, so Thing or Hulk could beat some sense into him.

Kinda predicable but you can't really go wrong with Will Smith so I enjoyed it.
