I haven't been to the theaters in months, but saw the Pirates of the Caribbean on DVD the other day - Johnny Depp was delicious.

The movie was entertaining...typical of a fairy tale.

I liked Pirates of the Caribbean and speaking of Johnny Depp, I saw Secret Window yesterday and it was pretty good.....not bad. I give it an 8 out of 10.

I'm about 3/4 of the way through "Haggard" it's an independant film done by the guys from cKy, if you like cKy you'll love this movie.

It's more or less an hour long with an extra 30 minutes of skating and random stuff thrown in the mix. Granted it won't win any awards, but it's hilarious and is a definate time killer where afterwards you don't want your time back

Das Boot - I expected it to be a lot more entertaining but the director's cut is just too damn long. I watched it in 2 segments. I had hoped to enjoy a movie about a submarine a lot more than I did. 3/5

Run Lola Run - Complete opposite of Das Boot in length. The same thing happens 3 times with different endings and the total run time is 80 minutes. With that said, I still didn't like it that much. 3.5/5

Did anyone watch Judas cuz I didn't...Since somebody wouldn't let me boost the ratings for the Jews.

It looked interesting....and maybe it was aired as a counter'view' for Passion's of Chirst?

Pretty odd. I didn't even realize that.

Since I couldn't get through the heavy diction of Herman Melville, I decided to resort to high school tactics, I rented the movie. And I must say that this is the first time I liked the movie better than the book. "Billy Budd" sent me into a pool of tears, which I must say is very surprising to me, since I am not the one who cries at touching movies. There has been a very slight number of movies which had a tear jerker effect on me.

It's a story about a sailor with a soul and a mind of impeccable purity and human decency, whose fate was altered by human anger and jealousy. A story about a struggle between good and evil, between ethics and the law of men. Somehow it carries a strong resemblance to the story of Jesus, in a more realistic sense. The author certainly had the theological notion in mind when writing this novel. If you haven't seen this 1962 film you should, or perhaps you prefer to read the book, but I should warn you that the book is very difficult to conquer, it's like battling with a severe drowsiness. Melville could have done a better job at writing by changing his terribly monotonous tone. But never mind that, the movie is very moving and different from what one might expect. I give it 2 toes up.

I just came back from seeing Henrik Malyan's "Yerangyuni". I had seen it when I was a kid, but I obviously understood it a lot better now. Some good humour in there (the boy playing violin, the men singing (hing hokiov vets yerg enk yergoom!), the wedding process with the Russian lady, etc...). And the great Rouben Matevosian singing "Zartir Lao" as they march off to war vs. the Nazis....I had goosebumps throughout the whole song, and I'll admit that it took quite some effort to hold back a tear or two from rolling down my cheek.

Anyone else seen it?
