Tarnation, Midnight Club 3: Dub Edition Remix (PS2 game), Naked Gun, and Oldboy reviewed today ... All are very good and VERY VERY VERY different.

First Midnight Club 3 .. .I rented this like 9 months ago for over a month .. I almost bought it then but couldn't afford it ...

This game is utterly fantastic.... There is brilliant cars, difficult races, and lots and lots of fun .. the music is wonderful too ...

My favorite game for PS2 and one which will be played for many many hours .. >I love that it is street racing too ... ***** .. Superb! ...

The greatest hits version is 19.99 and includes a few more cars as well as a new city, Tokyo .. Excellent Game!

Naked Gun is one of my favorite films growing up and I think the film I have seen most ***** ....

I have seen this movie probably 30 times but not in a while, I find it absolutely hilarious and just loads of fun .. If you like Airplane and such you have probably seen this, if not see it now.


Tarnation is one of the most unique movies I have ever seen. Its a hard movie to review ***1/2 ... The movie was made on IMac on IMovie with many old home movies and such.

I am very very happy not to be Johnathan Collette, if you enjoy documentaries, and want to see a film about a tough childhood, and a mother who may have gone crazy by shock therapy, this is a very interesting movie. It is also a very challenging one... Not for everyone, but a brilliant, difficult film.

The third movie I am reviewing is "Oldboy" ... This is a Korean film that I heard excellent things about... It is a movie that is also very tough to review without spoilers...

The main character in this was acted outstandingly and the film took turns I completely did not respect.

There are many issues of imprisonment, revenge and voyeurism in this movie.... It is fascinating and the main actor reminded me of Kuroshawa's great actor, Mufume ... Very good movie ****

Had "Cinderella Man" rented for a while but never saw it .. .the first 5 minutes looked eh .. will see it eventually ...

Oscars ... A Rant

I think John Stewart did a very good job, much better then I thought he would ...

It was also very very odd to see Ben Stiller's package in a green jumpsuit.

Why oh why for the love of god, are they playing music DURING the beginning of the speeches ...

It is so mean, and annoying ...

There were so many bloated tributes on this show, why cant they give the winners 2 minutes to speak ...

Good speeches especially by Clooney and the foreign film winner ...

Was also lovely to see how nervous Philip Seymour Hoffman was ...

Next year director and Conti .. let people talk ...

Ang Lee just won for Brokeback Mountain, I bet he will win for Best Picture now too ...

Even the music over Ang Lee ... Never started the speeches with music before... I cannot say how annoying this is.

I do need to see Brokeback Mountain too, have only seen Crash among the best picture nominees ...

Walk the Line still my favorite movie of the year *****

WOW Crash won for Best Picture.. Its the only one of the nominees I have seen ...

I will be interested to see what Haggis writes or directs next after Crash **** and Million Dollar Baby **** ... Two straight Best Pictures written ...

Congratulations Paul Haggis and Crash...

p.s. How for the love of god did the cut off the Best Picture speech .. I really hope they fire the director Horovitz and Bill Conti for that ... That was simply atrocious ...

Two three star movies with great acting performances .. neither easy to watch .. "The Lord of War" and "Love Liza" ...

Just saw "Love Liza" today *** ... Philip Seymour Hoffman is brilliant in it, in one of the most depressing movies ever ... Man is Hoffman's character sad .. [spoiler] You would be too if you lost your wife .... and friends don't let friends huff gasoline [/spoiler] .. the movie was hard to watch but really wonderfully acted ... I really like Philip Seymour Hoffman a lot, but still rooting for Jouquin Phoenix for his amazing portrayal of Johnny Cash in "Walk the Line" my favorite movie of 2005. *****

Second, Lord of War ... I also saw "The Lord of War" on DVD this week .... *** ... Another great performance by Nicolas Cage as one of the great salesmen ever .. .illegal guns are his trade ...

Interesting movie, its tough what to think of someone who give guns to help make African Civil Wars bloodier. His moral ambuguity was both interesting and hard to watch. Cage's character is not the most likeable person in the world, but it is a great performance. Like "Love Liza" .. it is not an easy movie to watch. But I enjoyed it and would recommend it.

Its amazing how close the nominees are between the Independent Spirit Awards and the Oscars this year and that the Best Actor/Actress were Hoffman and Huffman .... I have also never seen so few best picture nominees .. I have only seen "Crash" which I enjoyed a lot ****....
