Are you wondering what movie did I watch yesterday? You probably aren’t, but I am. I’m still trying to figure out what the hell did I watch, and whether I liked it or not.

Bug (2006) is definitely a weird movie, not for everyone.  It’s crazy, and it’s about crazy people. Actually, it’s about people with delusional paranoia and schizophrenic tendencies.

The movie was directed by William Friedkin, who’s made a couple great movies like The French Connection,  the original The Exorcist, and To Live and Die in L.A.. So you can’t deny that the movie’s director is bad, because he isn’t. Ashley Judd stars in this crazy little movie, which is another good thing. She’s a good actress, and she happens to be naked in a couple of scenes (it seems I measure how good a movie is by who appears naked in it ).

Anyway, I’m not trying to convince you to watch Bug, because you probably don’t want to. As I said, the movie is not for everyone. I’m just telling you what I watched last night.

Anyway, maybe, just maybe, you still want to see it, so you might as well go buy the dvd

Surprise surprise, I watched another movie yesterday, and it was good. It was Five Fingers. It’s kind of an old movie (2006), but I never heard about it before. I didn’t know much about it, either, which I guess was an advantage.

Anyway, the plot is pretty simple: Ryan Phillipe’s character gets captured by Laurence Fishburne’s character and friends. Then he gets tortured (the title of a movie is a big tip of how….five…fingers?). The whole movie is about that, but what makes it interesting is the dialogues and the interaction between the characters. I think Ryan Phillipe did a great work here.

Anyway, I liked the movie, maybe you will, too. Maybe you’d want to buy the Five Fingers DVD.

I saw Horsemen yesterday. I have to say that I did like the movie. It’s quite entertaining, it has some cool scenes, and above all, Dennis Quaid did a great job as the cop looking for the killer. It’s not a masterpiece, and it doesn’t get to be a great movie. It’s just good.

The movie is full of bad things, too. Ziyi Zhang is one of them. I like her as an actress (she’s magnificent in House of Flying Daggers, which is one of my favorite movies), but her role in Horsemen wasn’t convincing at all. One thing I found quite funny/weird was the casting decision. She’s 30 years old now, but she’s supposed to be a 17 or 18 year old girl in the movie.

The plot is the usual cop after serial killer as we’ve seen in other better movies (Se7en comes to mind). The end was completely predictable and a bit dumb. What bothered me the most was the revelation of who the killer was; from my point of view, that was done too soon.

Anyway, as I mentioned before, the movie is not free of issues, but it’s entertaining and watchable, so I don’t think you will be disappointed if you see it knowing that it won’t be that great.

Buy the Horsemen dvd!

If you’re in the mood for a really bad movie, go watch Room 6 (released in 2006). I don’t even know why I’m writing this post. Maybe I just want to make you suffer, or in some weird way, I did enjoy this movie.

Jerry O’Connell did a really good job, that is, if his job was to act as bad as possible. The story was awful (I guess that, in my case, knowing how it was going to end didn’t help that much), and let’s not talk about the direction. All in all, it’s a bad, really bad movie.

Why then? well, from time to time, it’s fun to watch a bad movie and make fun of it. Hey, I enjoy it, do you? I have no excuses.

So, did I mention the movie is bad? And remember “some doors should never be opened”

So, Beowulf, directed by Robert Zemeckis, looks like it’s going to be a nice movie. Angelina Jolie is in it, so that’s a big plus, eventhough she’s ‘digitally enhanced’. She looks hot as hell in the poster.
