Movie Club
I'm starting a movie watching club, since I love movies. The first movie on my list is a foreign movie called "Vision". I had seen a trailer for this movie earlier in the year and it is now available on Netflix so I'm deciding to watch it. I have embedded the trailer and after I have watched it I plan to write a review.

What's with America and Violence?
Why do we as American's glorify violence? We slow down on freeways to look at accidents and watch the evening news just to count the fatalities and if we even read news papers anymore we'd collect the clippings and set up scrap books and portfolios all depicting death. I recently had the opportunity to watch the lastest in the Saw film series (Saw VII or Saw 3D, whichever you choose to call it) and I realized that that movie was almost 2 hours of horrific death and death. Did I enjoy it? No I didn't enjoy one minute of it, it was just one grotesque brutality after another. Where have our American sensibilities gone? Once upon a time we we shocked and outraged by deaths and murders and now we collect them like stamps and trading cards.

Race to Witch Mountain
Is it possibly for a Disney movie to be the best thing out there right now? I dare say it is, aside from The Last House on the Left, I feel this was a pretty adequate movie. It had a story, it had action and it was downright fun. The Rock was extraordinary, and Carla Gugino reminded me that she is an actress who can perform in movies with her clothes on. I loved this movie. Although some parts were convoluted it was a welcome surprise that they left most of the science jargon to a minimum. The Rock is beginning to fit into the family friendly movie roll quite comfortably. And it doesn't bring down his street cred one bit.
Knowing
What happens when the numbers run out? I don't know I fell asleep. This was equally as horrible as The Day The Earth Stood Still, please stop making movies that star Nicholas Cage. And please no more end of the world movies in the near future, maybe hold them off until we know the end is near. Too many horrible movies this year, Oscar season I can't wait. I'm 100% confident the Star Trek wont suck, because J.J. Abrams is a GOD.

Dragonball: Evolution?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
This movie is an utter disappointment to anyone who considers themselves a fan of the original series. Quite possibly the worst movie in the world. Between this and Knowing I don't know what the hell hollywood has been thinking. A rundown, in the original series Son Goku seemed more childlike, the reluctant Antihero. In this movie he was a teenager and *gasp* going to high school. Blasphemy. I only sat through the whole thing hoping it would somehow get better, but it didn't. I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy sit through this garbage. It was Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li all over again, only worse. Please boycott this movie.
