Seen a few movies

I went to Blockbuster on Saturday and rented 3 movies, thinking they'd last me the week. I'd watched them all by Sunday evening! So here's what I saw...
The Village. I'd meant to see this when it came out, but wasn't overly impressed by the premise. The trailers did it an injustice: it's awesome! I was enthralled the whole time, and even though I'd sort of guessed the twist, I was still gobsmacked by it. Brilliant.
Spiderman 2. I really liked Spiderman 1, and was looking forward to 2, but it was rubbish, pretty much in every way. Shame.
50 First Dates. It's good fun, has a dubious sense of morality, and allows you to waste a couple of hours of your life without really noticing. Not as good as Punch Drunk Love, but enjoyable.
And last night, Hellboy. Utter garbage.

		Isn't The Village just brilliant? I loved it. But our film tastes end there - how did you enjoy any single part of Punch Drunk Love??? .....posted by Johnny at 1:26 pm, November 15, 2005 I know, I can honestly say that Punch Drunk Love is the worst film I have ever seen.... .....posted by Corrie at 4:53 pm, November 15, 2005 You're a couple of losers - 'Punch Drunk Love' is a modern-day classic, up there with 'Cliffhanger' and 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York'. Sheesh, you lot know nothing. .....posted by babyatom at 5:34 pm, November 15, 2005 Punch Drunk Love made me very confused and at the end I felt very much like I did at the end of Magnolia (the only bit I enjoyed about that film is when it rains giant frogs), like I had just lost a part of my life I was never going to get back. The Village rocked, very clever film. .....posted by Clare at 5:41 pm, November 15, 2005
