Lost in Translation (2003), Catwoman (2004)

The Door in the Floor. Stars Jeff Bridges and Kim Basinger. I won't tell you the premise. You can Google it. I will tell you that Kim's character ends up having sex with a young male, probably between 18-20 yrs old. He's never had sex before and let me tell you...how she shows him the joys of sex. It's nothing graphic and you really don't get to see her naked but it's just amusing how the boy gets busted masterbating while looking at a bra and panties of Kim's by Kim.

The movie is a FOCUS Productions movie, and in case you didn't know, they seem to be the new artsy-fartsy production company. You know the kind. Those that make no sense to normal people but somehow others find a great story line, great acting, or somehow a great movie. For example, Lost in Translation starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johanssen. That movie was weird, slow, boring and I don't know who said it should win any awards except at the artsy-fartsy awards because they seem to be the only ones that understand it. One movie Focus did make that was actually funny and interesting was The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It was still weird but at least it was understandable and somewhat enjoyable.

My recommendation for any of these is leave the first two lost in the floor of translation. Rent Spotless Mind or better yet, borrow it from a friend when they rent it.

Catwoman. I can't say that I would have been happy if I paid $7.00 for this movie at the theater.
It is based off a comic book character but it just wasn't believable or fantastical enough for me. It stars the Halle Berry and Sharon Stone.

Again, I won't go into the whole story so look it up if you need. Halle's character dies by drowning. A mysterious cat breathes life back into her. All fine and dandy at this point. I can go with that. It is fictional and a movie so I'll go with it. The part that sucks is that all of a sudden Halle's character fights like Jackie Chan and moves like Spiderman. Now the story did say ancient mystical cats have given reborn life to people in the past for centuries but who would have thought they'd become a crazy ninja bitch?!

Now when I say she moves like Spiderman, I mean almost exactly like it but without the web slinging. She can climb walls just like Spidey. She leaps from high roof top to high roof top in a single bound — the distance between each roof is a good 50-100 feet. Yes, I know. It's amazing!

So anyway, final thought is...let someone else you know buy/rent it and you borrow it from them.

Well, that's about all I have now. I'll probably mix in some future movie reviews as I see more movies. I'm part of the online renting from Blockbuster so I'll be watching tons of movies over for months to come.
