You should find one of those movie theaters that only player older films (by older I mean a couple of months, you know, right before they go out on video). Usually its only a couple of bucks (3-5).
And you're wrong about Swordfish, the best part of that movie wasn't the cars, it was the gratuitous nudity (or OTOH, Travolta's goatee, if you're into goatees).

Halle Berry isn't much to look at if you ask me. Too thin I think.
And yes, trust me, the TVR Tuscan Speed 6 was the only good looking thing in that film.

I can't imagine people not wanting to know what I think about such a list.
Snatch: OK. Enemy at the Gates: Bleah. Blow: Boring. Memento: Brilliant. The Mummy Returns: Eh...ok for what it was, I guess. Not something I'd need to see again, but it didn't make me want to die. Shrek: Ha ha, cartoons that tell adult jokes! Original! Ha ha! But entertaining even so. Swordfish: Still haven't been able to sit through it. Travolta's moonlike face at the beginning is all I can take. I suppose it could get really good after about ten minutes or so. Who knows? Evolution: I could say this was a good movie when it was called Ghostbusters, but this was never a good movie. Orlando Jones is funny, though, despite never ever being in a film that was. Legally Blonde: Utterly overshadowed by Election, which I watched the same day, so objectively, who knows? I like Reese Witherspoon though. Lord of the Rings: Good.

There was a film called Hedwig? Was it about Harry's bird, or something even MORE fun?
Sol is both right and wrong. Ghostbusters was a very good film. Evolution was slightly worse than listening to your most boring friend do a Jim Carey impersonation for 7 hours straight.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Well, that's different than what I thought it would be.
I'm still looking forward to the summer though. There are at least several million good things happening that are making the fanboy in me go "oooooohhhh!" with excitement.
