Movies I've watched today.
Jun. 22nd, 2004 03:34 amEurotrip- It's a pretty standard teenage road trip flick, but it's damn funny. Vinnie Jones as a soccer hooligan is a fucking riot, and the use of the song "Scotty Doesn't Know" is hilarious.
The Chronicles of Riddick- I liked it. It's not a really sophisticated film, but I don't think anyone expects Vin Diesel to do one of those. It'll help you if you've seen Pitch Black, but it's not necessary. If you have seen Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick is a very different flick. Pitch Black is a SF/Horror flick, The Chronicles of Riddick is an epic, including the Conan ending. If nothing else, the special effects are cool and it's fun to watch Diesel kicking the shit out of people.
Addendum: I may write more later on the character Riddick as a LHP hero.
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind- I'm about to watch this.
Edit: I just finished watching this. Fuckin' A. That is an excellent flick. I'm going to crash now, but there will be more on it later.
