Planet of the Apes (2001) – Sigh… so one of the benefits of having the rather excellent Rise of the Planet of the Apes come out last year was that it would wipe the stain of this ill-conceived remake from our cultural memory. Not so much. It was on cable a little while back and my … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th series

I love intelligent horror movies and wish there were more of them. But you know what? I love the dumb ones too. Maybe more. I have no intellectual defense of it, I just like it. I don’t like them “ironically.” I don’t even know what that means really. I am simply entertained. And for big … Continue reading →

Kate & Leopold (2001) — So my unofficial James Mangold film festival (thus far consisting on Knight and Day & Identity) got an unplanned extension when I saw this movie was on cable (still might watch 3:10 to Yuma later this week).  Now I generally don’t like romantic comedies.  This is not due to any … Continue reading →

Blow Dry (2001)

Blow Dry (2001) — This movie was on cable and I watched it.  That’s about the level of my recommendation too.  If it’s on cable, watch it.  It’s not really worth going out of your way to see.  But it’s quirky and British with a mostly British cast.  Humorously out-of-place are Josh Hartnett as a … Continue reading →

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) — Epic and awesome.  It’s really only the first third of what in essence is one colossal twelve-hour movie, but if you had to evaluate them as individual films this one would be my favorite.  [I am referring to the extended versions.  I saw … Continue reading →
